GGG, Crawford, Broner, and all could be bigger stars if these ego driven promoters had of stuck with the format. Luis Castillo fought on the Mayweather vs Corrales undercard way before he fought Mayweather. Paul Williams fought on the Mayweather vs Baldomir undercard. Mayweather fought Juuko on the De La Hoya vs Carr undercard. Oscar fought Carter on the Roy Jones Jr. vs Malinga undercard. Erik Morales Shanon Briggs Kelly Pavlik Nate Campbell Danny Garcia Miguel Cotto Mayweather even fought on a Manny Pacquiao undercard against Chavez when Manny nwas fighting Sanchez for the bantam titles. What happen to building up guys under bigger guys instead of trying to make them fight first? Crawford and Postol should have been on a few Pacquiao undercards, like Garcia was on the May vs Canelo card. K2 and HBO should have put GGG and Canelo on a card together to help build the fight more. What are they thinking nowadays at HBO? Showtime has zero PPV s lined up because it's dead.
They don't seem to do things as well as they used to in that regard. It also seems to me that too many prospects are lacking the desirable activity, especially in the earlier stages prior to the logical developmental step you're referring to.
:deal Once again the fault of the promoters and their egos controlling how big their pockets get. Don King would sacrifice his mama if that meant he would make a buck, but every one hated him soo..
Agreed. I'm just tired of watching prospects or champs take such one sided fights also. Predictable bouts where the favorite wins in a shutout.
