    Mayweather-Mosley undercard :dead


    If promoters keep promoting this **** for 60 bucks, boxing will be completely dead in 5 years

    It's not quite as bad as Pac-Clottey (though it could turn out to be worse if all the fights are dull) but almost all undercards to big events are ****ing ****.

    its becoming hard to shell out 50-60 bucks for one fight only (main event).

    We need more big fights stacked on the undercard but the promoters dont want to spend the money.

    If Danny Jacobs actually fights on the card then it's a lot better.

    Seeing two good young fighters like Alvarez and Jacobs on the same undercard would be money.

    All of these undercard fights should end with stoppages.

    No it won't....but I'm just as disgusted. Boxing will never die off completely. It will be like the stock market....peaks and valleys, but I'd love to see some consistency with quality fights that are on PPV.

    Yeah the undercard is looking weak but there is one more slot to fill, most likely it will be some 6-8 round showcase for one of their fighters but maybe we'll get lucky.

    Jacobs, I thought, was moving to the May15 Khan-Malignaggi card but I don't know. If he stays on the card and fights a solid opponent then that would improve the card. I'm looking foward to seeing Alvarez but Cotto is a career lightweight who has recently moved up to welterweight. That fight has one-sided written all over it. DeLeon-Lock is a solid fight but it lacks any kind of name value if it ends up being the best undercard fight. The main event is excellent but so far the undercard is looking disappointing.

    Not great, but not horrible either. At least all three fights should be entertaining.

    Heard about Jacobs moving to the May 15 card as well but the HBO broadcast is only showing the two fights (other being Campbell/Ortiz). Any Jacobs fight on a big card should be included in the broadcast IMO

    Very poor undercard. The only boxer I want to see is Canelo. I won't skip this event because the main event has me hooked. :good

    Top Rank has an excellent stable of young fighters, but did not put a single one of them on the Event undercard. Instead giving us a cross of washed up vets and punching bags. One good fighter, Soto, in a sham of a title fight.

    At least Golden Boy has a solid co-feature here with one of, if not their most promising, young stars. That's the type of fighters these undercards should be showcasing.

    He is down against TBA and will prob be on early so maybe not televised but George Groves is on. Very talented UK SMW who could be real deal, worth checking out if you get the chance.
