**** Arum! He's got a marginal main event given last year's standards for PPV, especially considering the disappointment factor from the abandoned Mayweather fight, and he pulls this ****. I'm guessing he's got so much of the total purse going to Manny that he wouldn't be able to afford much better, though.
Manny Pacquiao SC Joshua Clottey John Duddy SC Michael Medina Antonio Margarito SC Carson Jones Alfonso Gomez SC Jose Luis Castillo Robert Marroquin SC TBA Salvador Sanchez SC TBA George Foreman SC TBA it's not good at all but this is way better than the pac-cotto undercard. plus there are some rumors that david diaz will fight humberto soto on the undercard. again not an exceptionally good match but it's better than the **** before.
Here's how I feel undercards should be built in my own crazy pseudo promoter mind: -First fight should be a slugfest to wake the crowd up and get them going for the night of fights. They don't have to be good fighters, just two guys who are going to go out there and stand nose to nose and throw the fists. Castillo vs Gomez would probably be the perfect opener on a PPV. -Second fight should be a prospect taking a significant step up in competition. This should be the sandwich spot for your prospect of the future, basically allowing him to get PPV exposure without being forced into a spot he shouldn't be in. Chavez Jr is consistently in the Co-Main Event which pretty much exposes him as a guy who's not ready to carry a major PPV yet. -Third fight has to be a relevant fight for boxing between at least one (if not two) fighters that people have an idea about. It could be a title match or just a fight featuring two credible names in a somewhat big match fight. It should be a fight that would at the very least main event a B.A.D card. -Then your main event.
Gomez - Castillo is the only fight there that looks remotely decent, and it's only because Gomez has me slightly interested after schooling Karass, and Castillo is too shot to run him out of the ring, which he would have done easily in his prime, even with the weight difference. George Foreman??? Please tell me it's someone non-related or that you meant Yuri.
If Manny absolutely demolishes clottey that would be hard but if he beats him and the PPV is rather low bought..
ONLY *******s if they can aford it will buy that GARBAGE of a FIGHT.SAVE YOUR MONEY FOLKS. watch it FREE a week LATER............atsch
Funnily enough it isn't on Sky's list of live boxing for March and Skybet have it down as being on box office.
