    Provided he has some sort of say?

    Obviously Maccarinelli is unavailable. Is it going to be the usual lot of Bradley Pryce and the younger Welsh kids?

    Problem is he has to put on some decent undercard fights for the Haye-Enzo fight aswel, no one will pay top dollar to stay up til the early hours for the fun of it.

    We could see Khans first trip to the States.

    Golden Boy would co-promote the show so it is not essential for Warren to put up the whole undercard imo.

    Doubt Khan would fight on that undercard - he is tied exclusively to ITV.

    Would be good exposure for him though.

    Elle - if by exposure you mean that he will have to fight a decent fighter and therefore will get hammered - then yes it would be good.

    Let's all hope that Warren has no say in who's on the undercards.

    Could see Arthur vs Guzman ending up on here. Paul Smith maybe?

    Pryce and Lockett will be on Rees undercard March 15.

    Theres an article with Arhtur on newsnow where he is saying he could be on the undercard of Calzaghe or Pac vs Guzman, and that he would prefer Calzaghe for obvious reasons.

    I will be so excited to watch Calzahge fight once again that I won't ever think about the undercard. Calzaghe is a class act!!!!!!!

    No real surprise here but Bradley Pryce will be on the undercard

    I like Bradley. If matched well, you'll get a good tear up from Pryce. A real gutsy bloke with limited skills but never knows when he's beaten.

    I think Warren usually puts on reasonable undercards, Enzo Maccarinelli is a decent guy to have on an undercard.

    Golden Boy are pretty similar, I suppose the gay porno between Lacy and Manfredo was hardly their fault, was it?

    I think we will see a mix of Brits and Americans, with the odd Mexican thrown in - much like the Hatton Mayweather bill. I just hope the chief support bout is more entertaining.

    Be great to see Mitchell and Cook taking on some gate keeper mexicans. Some guys that the likes of Barrera, Morales, Pacman, Juarez, Vasquez, Marquez have faced.

    A stern test but one they should win.

    Spot on - this is what could help our young fighters progress to the top quicker, rather than blasting out bums at York Hall!

    I think Warrens undercards are usualy pretty decent. We have seen some very good match ups recently and also good fights, the facy that the guys he gives a real push to get soft opponents hides the good fights we are shown.

    Warren has a few big shows coming up so it is hard to pick who will be left for the Calzaghe undercard but exposure for one of the guys who has not got a big fight linned up could be good. Is anyone lined up for Arthur or Pryce in the up coming shows?
