Great undercards for PPV events are always welcome. DEFINITELY.
It can make potentiallly make a night of boxing more entertaining...
BUT...
Is it really necessary or all that important? I'd argue no. Why?
Because these 'great' undercard fights would be showcases on the premium cable boxing shows on HBO and Showtime. We're paying for premium cable to watch boxing. So we like to see good fights. Great undercard fights would be good fights for these shows. If you fill the undercards with too many 'great' fights, there won't be much left for regular shows throughout the year. I like it spread out.
For hardcore fans, we already have subscriptions to HBO and/or Showtime. So having a 'great' undercard isn't all that necessary because the better fights will be saved for regular boxing shows.
I do like to have 1 really intriguing undercard fight however. It is great exposure for fighters. But to have multiple 'great' fights is a LUXURY. Yes. But not that necessary.
What's your opinion on this?
