    Showing the Main event 1st and then the recorded undercard..
    But not always
    Both HBO and Showtime tried that for a minute - I think Showtime first started w/ Tyson-McNeeley, with Quincy Taylor-Julian Jackson serving as the televised walk-out bout. HBO followed suit a month later, with James Toney-Ernest Mateen coming after DLH-Chicanito, though unsure if it was live or tape-delayed (Taylor-Jackson was live).

    I don't know if HBO did it anymore after that. The last card I remember Showtime doing it was Holy-Tyson II. In fact, the only three PPV cards I recall them doing it all featured Tyson (the other being Tyson-Bruno II).

    Personally, I'd like to see 4
    - at least a good prospect fight
    - a solid (scheduled) ten round fight,
    - a 12-round title fight co-feature or even a notable fight, 10 or 12 and title or no-title, either of which would otherwise be worthy of at least a B.A.D headliner
    - and then the main event.

    A good example was Pac-Morales I. We got that as the main event, Arce-Hussein as the co-feature, and Castillo/Morel and JCC/some midwestern white guy as prelim bouts. Probably the best PPV card I've seen in recent memory. None are truly worth the money they charge, but as far as committing to buy it, there was little to complain about that card,

        i agree brother, 4 is solid for me if thats is final , that was the best payperview undercard or card period that i ever ordered, that would be a solid rubric for HBO to work with

          Lewis-Tua is a good example of why it's important to have a solid undercard. That's one of the few cards I recall where the main event ******, yet I didn't feel cheated when all was said and done. Ettiene/Clay-Bey was a war, and Leija and Molina momentarily revived their careers with high contact wins over Ivan Robinson and Ben Tackie. And the thing of it was, all of the bouts went the distance, but those three had everyone amped up for the main event (even though that fight was a letdown)

          I don't know... I guess I've just always been a fan of foreplay.
