If they put Lucas-Garcia on this card and perhaps Adrien Broner I think the chances of it breaking records is high.
Schafer has said he's working on "the biggest undercard ever" so I think Lucas-Garcia is likely or at least being worked on.
That makes sense if they put them in that card. If it is a good win for either guy the masses will have seen the possible next Floyd foe if May beats Canelo
I think it's a good idea to have Garcia vs Matthysse on the under card. The winner of that fight is probably going to be Mayweather's opponent soon so it'll provide great exposure. If Matthysse KO's Garcia, expect to to see him move up to fight Mayweather next year!
Carry them? Floyd vs. Canelo already sold out. On the first day.
Matthysse isn't even a draw as of yet. Look at the number of people that attended his fight against Mike Dallas Jr.
Carry was the wrong word. But Mattysse Garcia is it's own stand alone fight. They'll boost the ratings of that ppv card and get no credit for it. It's a main event by itself and should be treated as such.

:lol1: @ the biggest fight Boxing has seen for years needing to be carried.
I don't like it. Danny/Lucas is it's own stand alone main event. Floyd and Canelo should find someone else to carry them.

if the cotto rumors are true, he will not fight the 28th. he'll wait til msg re-opens. which means matthysse/garcia could happen sept. 28 in brooklyn. makes perfect sense.
I hope its true cause I just made a mess in my pants just reading the tittle. That would be the best card in who knows how long. Would gladly pay 100 if it included Matty-Garcia, Maidana-Broner and seeing Ortiz back in the ring wouldn't be a bad thing either.
I'm on my cell so I can't keep up but guys on esb posted a link by Steve Kim saying its possible or maybe done or something
If this is for real then that's awesome!! WAR Matthysse!!!:boxing::boxing:
Garcia-Mattheus is one of the most pulsating matchups in recent memory. This has the makings of a Hagler-Hearns. YOU DO NOT WANT THIS AS AN UNDERCARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Golden Boy has been wanting a UFC type format for a while and this is how it should be done. Not monthly PPV's, but just STACKED PPV's with ALL eyes watching that is how you build talent. It is WITHOUT doubt a major reason Canelo is so big, he was seen by A TON of people casual/hardcore consistently. This needs to happen and it should, I would be absolutely f*cking stoked for that card, make it happen baby.
Exactly people who love Lucas; if he KO's Garcia on regular Showtime it may get 700-900k viewers but to do it on maybe the 2nd biggest PPV of all-time who wouldn't that exposure for him. And I'm picking Danny to beat him that's shot either up to mainstream stardom because that fight isn't going to the cards. Only a hater wouldn't want a stacked card
