    Pacquiao-Cotto undercard is a pathetic joke.

    Chavez Jr. vs. a nobody
    Foreman vs. Santos (yawner)
    Gomez (Contender bum) vs. Soto Karauss (rugged one-dimensional journeyman)

    Who cares about this card? I know I don't. At least the Floyd-JMM undercard was decent on paper. The opening fight was a war, and Michael Katsidis put up a good effort to make an action fight, even though Escabedo's will got broken and the fight became one-sided. And then there was a slight possibility that the John-Juarez rematch would be exciting like the first fight even though it was a let down. There is not one good fight on the Pacquiao-Cotto undercard. And for that reason, I'm not buying it and letting Arum rip me off.

        No one's ever going to be happy with under cards. Even with Floyd vs Marquez's undercard. people made this big deal about how great it was, but in all honesty...it wasn't THAT good. Boxing undercards are there for people to drink for a little while and mingle before the main event starts.

        The Boxing nuts won't admit this, but go to a fight party and tell me what people are doing before the main event. I've been following Boxing for many, many years and I can't tell you the last under card I literally sat and watch entirely through. Just is what it is...

            Sometimes ****ty under cards are better than the main event. Names dont make a fight. People trying to make a name usually do. I learned long ago never to under estimate an under card fight. Mayweather under card had some good names on it and IMo it ****** and was a complete bore...(along with the main event)

                That is one hell of a boxing undercard!!!! Little Chavez is in it what more can you ask?

                I don't give a **** about the undercard because boxing undercards are never really great. If we get one exciting fight in the undercard that be nice but the main event is what counts and Cotto vs Pacquiao is the biggest fight of the year.

                  all under cards blow now a days.

                  The main event's are what we pay for in reality.

                  although it sucks that Valero wasn't able to get on it, I like that guys power...

                    I don't think the Floyd-JMM was spectacular either, but I really enjoyed the first fight. Gomez and Soto Karauss will probably be the most exciting fight on the Pacquiao-Cotto undercard, but I don't care about that fight. Two defenseless gate keepers with no power. At least Golden Boy made an effort to make a good undercard with Floyd and JMM. Green pulled out of that fight with Bika, but I wasn't too impressed with Zab Judah being scheduled to fight on the undercard. I'm actually glad that he pulled out. Because the first fight that happened to be a war is the one that was bumped to the televised portion to take it's place.
