Such a monumental fight is destined to become a landmark night in boxing history, viewed by what could amount to record numbers of people and deserving of a very strong undercard to showcase the sport of boxing worldwide.
Name a fight, which could realistically be made around May 2010 or after, that deserves to be featured on the undercard of Mayweather vs Pacquiao. Or, if no specific match ups come to mind, which boxers should feature on the undercard?
Wont be many big names on the undercard because they will just get lost in all the Pac/Floyd talk anyway also because the money is with the main event. But its not about names all the time, its the matchups, they can piece together good fights still.
Imagine if the undercard was one where every fight was unmissable.. With this recent talk of MMA vs Boxing I think it's about time boxing had an event filled with unmissable fights and this night is the one to do it imo. This is the night where they should change the regular format.
They could potentially charge more than a regular PPV because people would probably buy it even with just Mayweather vs Pacquiao so with a star-filled undercard it'd be a guaranteed sale either way, and it would ultimately help to demonstrate the best of boxing worldwide to maybe the largest viewing audience for decades. It's an opportunity which shouldn't be missed imo.
Man you guys are dreaming. No way some of these names get put on there, If it's in dallas it would be smart to put baby bull on there. Also put some good mexican fighters on there. One more thing valero has problems with his visa so he wont fight
I think Guzman should be there since he's a GBP fighter.
Marquez-Hatton is a PPV on it's own and will probably happen in Manchester if it does get signed.
Valero-Guzman sounds good to put it right before the Main Event.
Yuri Foreman's performance on Nov 14th was supposed to be one of the worst of the night, instead he shut everyone up by hurting and dropping Santos numerous times. He deseres a spot in the undercard vs a GBP fighter. If Kirkland was around that would have been a good fight. Foreman vs Angulo(If he's a GBP fighter) would be nice on the undercard.
Katsidis should also be there.
Valero vs Guzman sounds good or maybe Marquez vs Katsidis.. I guess either lightweight fight would do it..
I'll be fast asleep before the main event starts.
hahah, i remember almost having fallen asleep before the cotto pac fight
thanks to both yuri and jcc jr fights
i wanna see jmm valero or katsidis, soto valero, perez agbeko II, juanma caballero would be awesome ... any of those, i'm sure theres other but i'm going blank
Some good names dropped so far..
Another match which could work well - Berto vs Collazo II.. the first fight was a classic, it'd be good to see a rematch regardless of whether Berto wins or loses against Mosley.
