Is a 12 Fight 4-5 hour Undercard Excessive ?

The card started at 5pm and when it started there were only a handful of people in the crowd, literally ! probably the opening boxer's family. I think part of it was due to the fact that Danny Greens and mine home city Perth is 2 hours behind, so the undercard started at 3pm our time. Without a long undercard the main event would have started before people had finished work and could get down to the pub. Plus the fact that all the pubs wanted several hours of being drinking before the main event. i took the day off and enjoyed watching all of the undercard but it was a few fights too long.

Depends on how much you like boxing. I think it would be great to see 12 fights in 1 night. You would get your moneys worth for sure and you get to check out some guys that might be great fighters in the future.

5 fights on a ppv would be perfect.At least 2 of those fights have to be good.The DK PPV that had five fights on it was pretty good.Me and my friend refer to it as "The Monster".On that card we had a good ko(Judah KO1 Rangel.An awesome KO (Simms KO5 Garcia.A boring fight (Ruiz W12 Rahman).A major upset (Spinks W12 Mayorga).Then a beating (Hopkins W12 Joppy).All in all it was a good card.We need more like it.

yeah and the 200m walk from dressing room to ring didnt help either. excessive. credit on your sig btw.

yeah they were all televised. and essentially boring uneventful fights. with the exception of hopoate and tyrone the cyclone no fighter distinguished themself and by the time the main event started at 1030! the yawns had set in. Ok, then that's where I have a problem. If they pushed the main event that far back then that undercard is excessive.

Wait...werre these all televised? If they were then...cool I guess but I wouldn't watch that many on TV.

You know, you can learn more about boxing and the mechanics of boxing watching two bad fighters boxing then you can 2 world class fighters imo. So 12 fights is a little excessive but if I am going to an event, I am there early and am watching every fight watching every second of it.

12 fights? Shit! I guess if it's on a saturday, and you dont have shit else to do. I like when there's like 5 fights on a PPV card, I can get nice and drunk by the time the main event hits, so if it's disappointing, at least I'm wasted.

Here in Australia, the Mundine/Green fight had a 12 fight undercard which went around 5 hours. All PPVs i have watched from the US only have 3-4 fights totally around 2 hours. Is this long an undercard excessive ? That is a ridiculously long undercard. I love watching boxing, but watching fights between guys with limited talent. On every boxing card, they have bouts that are simply filler fights, fights between 2 guys who the promoters have no invested interest in their careers. I have been to many fights, and I usually don't take my seat until about 1 hour after admission begins. I will be in the hallways chilling with my friends, smoking cigarettes, and talking on the celly. If I am sitting down when the opening bouts are on, I'm usually on my PSP. Usually, I watch the last 3 fights of the card with serious intent. Given that I go to alot of prospect cards, the first couple bouts usually aren't competitive. Its part logic, part ADD.
