[Sin City]

Chris John vs. Rocky Juarez II
Michael Katsidis vs. Vicente Escobedo
Cornelius Lock vs. Orlando Cruz
Erislandry Lara vs. TBA
Said Quali vs. TBA
Jesse Vargas vs. Raul Tovar
Dion Savage vs. Loren Myers
Michael Perez vs. Richard Ellis

yea, I was surprised by that too!

...especially considering John and Juarez are both former foes of Marquez, and the last fight between them was pretty entertaining.

i dont care about the undercard,i have no need for the undercard,why do we need an undercard i am not interested in the undercard,

obviously you don't understand the business aspect of the sport..
I'm willing to bet that you've been watching boxing for under a year.
maybe those fighters are no interest to YOU on the day of the fight but the purpose of promoting them is supposed to be to get them exposure so they can gain recognition from casual viewers and people who aren't yet already fans so they'll come back and buy a fight involving said fighter down the line.

Of course, it is no interest to Mayweather or Marquez whether someone buys a ticket to see Katsidis fight. However, it's in the promoters best interest and the sports best interest because those are potential ticket sales and viewers.

I'm not really a fan of anybody on the under card.. that doesn't mean I don't want to see the sport succeed.

see unlike you fanboys, I'm not a fan of just a certain fighter, I'm a fan of the sport as a whole.

You make a really good point, I was wondering the same.

undercards don't sell fights.

only dedicated boxing fans care about the undercard.

I became a fan of Guzman and Linares watching them on undercards..

[Equinox]

they should have helped the undercard fighters a little and give em some spotlight, usually they dont waste their time because the undercard sucks but this one is good and has good names.

and?

promotion is done for the masses not for dedicated boxing fans.

they have to promote the main event because generally they're the only ones the masses will know.

you could have guzman-valero on the undercard or viloria-calderon on this undercard and it wouldn't help sell the fight to the masses.
