Most casuals in Germany aren't even aware there is an undercard. No Kidding.

    I've been to Wlad vs Chambers and vs Haye in addition to attending Huck vs Lebedev in the past 5 years and spectators still basically don't show up until the main event is about to start. Easily 80% of the people who purchased a ticket are not even aware there are other fights than the main event. Obviously, the Klits are the biggest thing over here and their undercards are a travesty - plus, their undercards don't get televised. Straight up no coverage on them.
    Sauerland undercards are usually a tad better but no live coverage either. Sometimes, they prepare highlights once the main event is over but most people have tuned off by then.

    There is just little or no awareness among casuals that you don't buy a boxing ticket to watch a single fight that could potentially end in a minute or two. It's absolutely mind-boggling.

    Same in America also, it's pretty empty until the main event starts.

    but conversely americans didn't know about the A bomb in Japan either, they were partying, laughing and giggling in amusement whilst the Japanese women and children got cooked by the USA government in horrible deaths.
