Might be the wrong thread but since guys are talking about cards here....

Am I the only one a bit unimpressed with the undercard of the Pacquiao vs Mayweather fight?

Vasyl Lomachenko vs Gamalier Rodriguez (Featherweights)
Chris Pearson vs Said El Harrak (Junior Middleweights)
Jessie Hart vs Mike Jimenez (Super Middleweights)


Who the hell are these guys?
This is supposed to be the biggest fight of all-time and the undercard looks like a group of fighters from the YMCA

:dahell:
:mindblown:
Why waste great fights on the undercard when the main event will sell on it's own? No reason to put great fights onto a guaranteed seller when those great undercard fights could headline their own events.

Well actually, Vasyl Lomachenko/Chris Pearson/Jesse Hart are all really good fighters (Loma is arguably the greatest amateur Boxer ever and won the Championship he has now by beating fellow current Champion and another great amateur Gary Russell Jr in only Loma's 3rd career fight). I like them being on the card, but only Loma is being televised.


We are waiting for Mayweather Promotions to provide the other televised undercard match. We don't know who it will be yet, but hopefully it's something good.

make new stars breh 3 + million watching with ridiculous media coverage. :wow:

I would have stacked that card :ohlawd:
Most people don't even watch undercard fights though. That's the thing. They use those fights to talk to women/people, drink, eat, use the bathroom. Start feeling right before the main event.

nikkas gonna be mad at anything Haymon does though breh:yeshrug:

I loved the way they told commercials:camby: and HEAVILY plugged Danny Garcia vs Lamont Peterson (especially Swift...my nikkas was asking me about him which was good), plus gave alot of face time to Omar Ambrose since his fight is next on PBC (May 9th)

Look at Floyd/Canelo breh nikkas in the barber shop were talking about Danny/Lucas more than the main event around me.

That's an outlier, danny is a star and got next :mjpls:
But I'd say 98% of people who will buy this card will give 0 shyts about an undercard. They are buying to see may vs pac. That's it. Once the fight was announced, that's all most people cared to see.

Then why not put someone who they feel has next on this card?

Floyd/Canelo didn't need Danny/Lucas either but they threw them on there because they knew a lot of eyes would be on the card. Say what you want about that demon Arum but he knew what he was doing throwing Pretty Boy Vasyl on that undercard. :smugbiden:

Eh PBC will be enough to bring attention to these guys. No reason to be on an undercard where only a few people are paying attention at that point. Especially anyone on Pacific Standard time. It will still be light out.

I respectfully disagree breh. This whole struggle build up has been because "the fight sells itself" and I'm not really feeling it, it's being used as a cop out. :manny:

Fans want to come see the only press conference live? Tough shyt only media allowed, you're going to buy it anyway.

Want to actually come see the fight live? :laff: good luck nikka

Want to watch it in a movie theater? tough break

Want to come to Vegas and see it at a non MGM property? tough break

But you can however enjoy it from your house for the low low price of 99.99 :999:

Dudes weren't even going to do an all access or 24/7 for this shyt because the fight sells itself :beli:

Those are the harsh realities of this fight. It does sell itself essentially :francis:
Any kind of promotional videos is just throwing people a bone. That 100 dollar price tag though?:patrice:Glad I'll be going to a fight party and can just provide alcohol I'll be consuming myself.

I think there could be some backlash from the stuff you've named though. It might rub people the wrong way. Could hurt potential ppv fights in the future.

This is supposedly the fight to save boxing. Why not put on 4 great fights instead of just 1?
