Should Usyk-Chisora be on the Whyte/Povetkin undercard?

I personally wont be paying full price, probably £20, to see Usyk fight Chisora.

I see no reason why this fight is too big to be an undercard.

This will most likely just be a sparring session for Usyk.

I also think much of the public probably wont be willing to pay another £20 for a Whyte/Pov rematch unless there's more added to it, ie Usyk v Chisora.

I certainly think Sky would be mad thinking people are going to pay full price to see Usyk v Chisora.

 

Just stream it

 

It's an insult to Usyk's abilities to even ask this question. Why the **** would be fought on a Dillian Whyte undercard? If anything, it should be the other way round.

 

Sooner that scrawny runt Usyk is taken out of the equation the better. Put him on the Dustin Nichol undercard, and let a morbidly obese behemoth beat the hell out of him. Lol

 

That scrawny runt who had no problem with 6’7 Modugno, 6’6 Joyce, 6’5 Fa, 6’4 Witherspoon and 6’3 Gassiev etc?

 

Well, if that's the case then I wish I was a scrawny runt.

 

Just what I was coming here for to post.

 

Usyk has not proven himself at heavyweight. The casual fan probably doesn't know him. The average person on the street does not know him.

I see nothing wrong with him being on an undercard right now. It can be called a "co-featured" main event if it makes people feel better.

It is not about talent. It is about drawing power.

 

These PPV cards near the end of the year will be awful, Truly awful.


It will be a real thin spread of the crap, "keep busy" fights and mismatches.

 

Provides Usyk with a broader audience and is win over Chisora should be less interesting than the Povetkin vs Whyte rematch (at least on paper). As a fan (even one in the U.S. not paying ppv for it) I say put it on the undercard and have a great card.

 

This is a good point, especially if Eddie is seriously looking to allow Usyk to enforce his WBO mandatory claim against AJ. It would be a marketing masterstroke.

 

Average person on the street probably if asked about boxers might mention Ali and some boxers from his local area.
These most likely also will not pay single cent to watch boxing events.

Not all ppl are just casual fans and Usyk was damn beautiful in ammies too.

 

Usyk vs A.J might have beautiful sales, yes.
The problem is that most likely Usyk does have not enough chances vs A.J or Fury, still looks more capable than Whyte.
Old Povetkin being small size HW in modern era already appeared too hard nut for Whyte to beat up. Even if Whyte will defeat Povetkin in rematch, everyone will point on him: lol, had been KOed by 41 years old Povetkin. Also not likely Whyte is able to do anything serious vs Fury or A.J.

 

Remember when Whyte said “why should I fight him? No one has heard of him” just after a headlined a PPV in the U.K. and then signed to fight Rivas? Frivolous times

 

I don't disagree but remember, it is more about drawing power and not talent.
