Would love..
Mayweather vs Pac
Maidana vs Khan 2
Thurman vs Porter
Gonzalez vs Marez 2
i think your chances of seeing Lomachenko vs Russell 2 in the undercard is better than those you listed.
Big names won't add anything to their bottom line, just takes away from it.
They'll use the stage to promote less known fighters, in hopes to gain them some recognition over time.
Why not Thurman vs Maidana?
Khan will be fighting Brook if he doesn't get the Mayweather fight.
That's a fight that we should be seeing if the Mayweather doesn't come off for Khan like you said, Maidana-Thurman, Porter-Broner or Matthyse at 147. There is a lot of different fights that can be made.
There is no chance an undercard for Mayweather/Pacquiao would be stacked. There would maybe, maybe, be one more good fight on the card, and a bunch of garbage.
it would be an amazing card, but whatever the undercard will be, it wont help in increasing the PPV numbers of this fight, which in most cases are their only purpose. Floyd-manny calls out every fan in the world already. having a stack card means you have to pay more.
Think about it this way: having a stacked card will ensure that the gigantic audience tuning in to see Mayweather-Pacquiao will see at least some of the other fights. When all eyes are on boxing, I would prefer that the ultimate showcase for the sport builds "new" stars as well. If they were smart, they would find a way to get as many exciting fights on the card as possible. After this fight happens, I think both fighters' viewership will decrease unless they fight again. Smartest thing boxing could do with this great platform is pass the torch to a new generation of fighters as it waves goodbye to the old guard.

I was hopeful when i read the title. But then in your topic you put Maidana's name before Khan. That's to disrespectful. Can't see Khan agreeing to it now
