Gonzalez vs Estrada II is the perfect undercard bout for Mayweather/ Pacquiao

The Floyd Mayweather v Manny Pacquiao fight will sell on the strength of it's main event and main event alone. How many people do you know who claim to be boxing fans but only ever watch Mayweather or Pacquaio?

Two guys that would not make a lot of money on a bill of their own are Roman Gonzalez and Juan Francisco Estrada. They are two pound for pound level performers who fought in a classic in 2012, both enhanced their reputations since and is probably the most demanded fight via the hardest of hardocre fans- thus those who have grown tired of Mayweather and Pacquiao's shenanigans over the years may well be tempted to get the fight on PPV.

Neither would demand a huge sum for the exposure. Bare in mind people who shelled out for Mayweathers last PPV had to sit through a stinker like Bey v Vazquez (who earned $575,000 between them), and mismatch like Santa Cruz v Roman (who earned $800,000 between them).

Gonzalez v Estrada would be neither a mismatch, nor a stinker and would not leave fans feeling short changed from whatever they paid for the PPV if they feel like it's just one fight.

Thus it would be beneficial to HBO/ Showtime to showcase these two elite talents in an absolute war, and would leave fans thirsty for more of them.

:yep Followed by the Pacquiao v Mayweather bonus match for those that care.

 

:good It would probably be a more highly skilled battle than Mayweather v Pacquiao at this stage.

 

Refute :twisted:

 

True. 90% of the forum are probably thinking, who anyhows? :huh

 

Good point after the war of Estrada v Gonzalez, Mayweather v Pacquiao would be a pedestrian affair.
