    I agree, as a boxing fan I am highly disappointed with the undercard, it won't stop me from paying this money for the PPV but it is sickening what these undercards for giant PPV's have become, no different than showcase ESPN fights :patsch

    :good Look at a guy like Canelo who was helped on Mayweather undercards in fights against name guys like Mosley.

    Gonzalez vs Estrada is a very good shout, fairly cheap in relation to fights of that quality in other divisions, but if they can sell it at that price as one fight, then why not? Make a lot more money that way

    I reckon Estrada and Gonzalez between them would take whatever Santa Cruz is getting for his sparring session

    Are you seriously comparing Mayweather vs Alvarez to a fight the media and public have been regularly(literally daily) discussing and demanding for half a decade?.

    I don't even need to insult you. Your history of comical threads and posts on here(comically ongoing in this thread) will further expose your mental illness without any help from me.

    think they should of put a decent fight or two on the undercard, maybe something to highlight the next future stars so casuals / non hardcore fans will get to see them.

    Casuals/non-hardcore fans rarely give a damn about the undercard or even bother to tune in for it. Usually they're talking to others or doing other things when the undercard is on till the main event finally starts. A fight like this will completely bury anything on the undercard. There's a reason there isn't a single article complaining about this card/event so far, no one cares about the undercard when the main event is this big.

    Yep. you don't have a comeback and you realised you pwned yourself again. The fact that you are a Broner fan is no surprise whatsoever. He's your intellectual idol. :lol::lol:

    So again I ask you, what the point in an undercard at all. Let's see if you actually have an answer to this.
