What is the best method at voicing our opinion towards better undercards on PPV events? I would be much more interested in paying and ONLY seeing 3 good fights than 6 bad fights with a main event. Suggestions?
if you got a fight like Floyd vs Marquez, with Bute vs Andrade on the main undercard, and a guy like Zab Judah against a scrub... add in some up and comers going for big knockouts and to me thats a sick card well worth any price tag
Boxing should at least present ONE event a year and pack it with talent like the UFC does. If the main event sucks at least there is a great supporting card and fans who ultimately pay the price will get their money's worth.
Tim Bradley vs Kendall Holt with Andrade vs Typsko was a great card. 2 important fights per card should be the standard. JMM vs Diaz with John vs Juarez was another great one.
like when hatton had malinaggi on his undercard 2 world titles in 1 night and brought on their own fight
To be fair the mentions of the fights with great undercards (The Holt/Bradley, JMM/Diaz and Hatton/Malignaggi ones) are all on HBO or Showtime. The truth is that when somebody gets on HBO or Showtime, they have to essentially have their fights approved. If a fight isn't good enough or HBO/Showtime decide your undercard fight has no purpose to it, they can simply not approve it. On PPV, it's a bit different really....9/10 HBO or Showtime can't say **** about the undercard hence it's loaded with filler.
