Not even one competitive undercard bout Loma and Santa Cruz in mismatches?! JLEON LOVE? LoL Top Rank and TmT are dummies They could have showcased Loma or Santa Cruz in high profile matches Instead they put mismatches on Emberassing How hard would it have been to put LSC vs Mares? oR Lomo against Donaire or even a guy like Mex Russian Gradovich Too much greed I guess
Lomachenko has only had 4 pro fights. Of course he's fighting a relatively weak opponent. He just needs to gain some more pro experience. And even if it is a weak opponent, fighting on the undercard of a fight as big as Mayweather-Pacquiao will get him a LOT of exposure.
Well duh? What'd you expect? The headliners (May and Pac) to lower their earning potential to get some big name undercard fights? Standard operating procedure. The weaker the headliner, the more likely you'll have a solid undercard. Just IMO. I honestly believe the promoters look at these fights as "filler" before the main event for a fight of this magnitude. The thought process is, most people aren't tuning in for the first 3 fights, they are tuning in and paying for the main event. I think it's BS myself, but it is what it is. Nothing I can do about it.
Also, Gradovich is fighting Selby on the 30th of next month. I would think it's too late to change now.
Lomachenko is a World champ, the amount of fights he has isn't a excuse anymore once you win a world title you should be fighting the best if you still need to gain more experience before doing so then don't step up to title level to early. Saying that though made a prediction before he turned pro that he would be the next P4P number one based on his amateur performance and hope that comes true as he has all the skills. :bbb
How dare Top Rank put Lomachenko in a showcase fight on the biggest card in boxing ever. WHAT, DO THEY WANT HIM TO LOOK GOOD TO A MASS AUDIENCE TO REMEMBER HIS NAME OR SOMETHING? pffffff, re****s
