What should go on a Wlad v Haye undercard to make a SBO show?

    Presumably it will land up on a K2 card in Germany. If the card did land up in, say, Wembley Stadium they would need some names to make up a decent card.

    The obvious one for Hayemaker is to win the bid for Groves v Degale which would be big enough for a main support.

    If the card is in Germany punters would rather spend £15 on beer and watch the bout in the pub, rather than watching unknown East Europeans fighting for obscure belts on the undercard and watch it at home

    If its a Hayemaker promotion we might get the rematch between Alex Reid and Tom Kong if we're lucky...possibly Jonathan Banks verus a Ghanian contender

    Both K2 and Hayemaker have pretty **** undercards usually, so i wouldn't get my hopes up. Wlad and Haye will be looking at this as their big payday, and they know the fight will sell, so i couldn't imagine them stacking the undercard.

    I'd probably buy it, regardless anyway. Biggest HW fighting in years.

    The undercard on this show will be a disgrace, you only need to look at the 2 parties involved to see this will be the case!
    Instead of using the big fight to show case the best of boxing and get new folk interested they will see it as an oppurtunity to cut costs and maximise their own revenue by paying peanuts for monkeys.

    As the chief support I'd like to see Ajose Olusegun fight a domestic level 8 rounder as a stay busy fight before his world title shot.

    I expect the undercard to be ****. Dont think Warren will let a big fight like De Dale Groves go on an undercard.

    What incentive is there for them to have a good undercard? your either going to buy it for the main event or you aren't. What sort of numbers of people will refuse to buy it because the undercard is pish? how many new subscribers wil you get by having a good undercard?
