    Which one do you consider the decent match-up?

    (Rigondeaux vs. Cordoba would be the most appropriate answer, btw)

    People always expect some kind of standard for PPV undercards for which there simply isn't a realistic precedent...not in this calendar century, anyway.

    If you care about the main event, pay whatever ridiculous price it may be.

    If you don't care about the main event but care about the total undercard enough to do so, pay whatever ridiculous price it may be (this was my reason for purchasing Mosley vs. Mora).

    People expecting a big-name headliner to be complemented by an evening of non-stop high-level elite action need to wake up and realize what ****ing decade it is.

    They save money that way knowing that they do not need a good undercard for a Pac fight.

    They should take the Rios fight off the televised portion and put in Laurente/Holloway as part of the PPV.

    Thats a good competitive(on paper) fight. Its the kind of fight that would headline an ESPN FNF card.

    Rios vs. Lowther, Jones vs. Soto Karass, and Rigondeaux vs. Cordoba are all part of the PPV in support of the main event and therefore will not be aired on ESPN3.

    Damn, Holloway is a good boxer but not shown on tv.

    I'm not asking for Marquez v Kessler to be on the undercard or Berto v Mosley just decent match-ups between two competitive fighters. Is that too much to ask for if as a consumer I'm paying $55? When it is on PPV you expect to see high level guys, PPV is not ESPN friday night fights or showbox.
