    You always need a decent undercard. What if the PBF vs Pac turns out to be a stinker? I truly hope not, but at times superstars are made in undercards fights. I can't remember his name right now, but I hope that young red headed Mexican fighter takes on a top ten guy. Very good fighter.

    The undercard needs to be good, May-Pac will be a great way to expose casual boxing fans to up and coming talent. Wouldn't it be nuts if Khan-Maidana was on that undercard?

    Yup, the main problem with the PPV is that it leads to the ridiculous negotiating and thus ducks/fights never happening. If boxing was televised on on public of cable TV, they'd be forced to arrange things in a league or tournament format.

    Why does Arum get to call the shots for the under card anyway? Goldenboy should have some say so in the matter as well.

    in a perfect world that would be fine, but Bob Arum doesn't like giving away something he could sell. he loads his undercards with notoriously bad fights because he doesn't want to "give away" a possible money maker, for example he would have never put Chris John-Rocky Juarez II on an Undercard like golden boy.

    lets say the entire card will be Golden Boy fighters vs Top Rank guys, if he got an offer for a top guy to fight one of his top guys he wouldn't accept.
