    I'd be surprised if it was on the undercard of Mayweather Canelo. Only because well the fight is big enough to be a main event by itself. Garcia vs Judah was a main event and most people seem to agree that Matthysse is a tougher fight than Judah and more of a megafight. Isn't Garcia vs Matthysse and Mayweather vs Canelo almost too much to focus on for one weekend?

    I hope he ****s Matthysse up. Matthysse's fans are getting just as bad as the Pac fans were before one punch knocked them the **** out of boxing.

    It will be on the undercard for 2 reasons.
    1.Mayweather will fight the winner
    2. Showtime and GBP need a (makeup) good payday after the Guerrero fight.

    For $75 per PPV I think GBP can not only afford it, but actually depends on it.

    Matthysse is the only guy that beats Mayweather IMO

    Not the guy that can't breath past round 5
