Why does HBO show one fight cards?

[ИATAS]

I don't get why they do this, what benefit is there in not showing undercard fights?

They did this obviously with Bradley/Alexander, and if my memory serves me correct Williams vs Martinez II and Williams vs Cintron.

They couldn't show Emanuel Augustus vs Paris, in what could be Augustus' final fight of his career??

They need to promote the sport of boxing, as a whole, not just individual fighters. Plus if the fight in a stinker, or if the fight ends unexpectedly short, at least there could be a chance of having a good undercard to make up for it.

I don't get it either. I feel like showing undercards are sort of like a way to protect a card too. Like if the main event ends in a bad way, like Cintron-Williams or Alexander-Bradley, a decent undercard makes the event look better.

They mainly do co-main events.

because the undercard would probably include Rocky Juarez or Robert Guerrero

[Hi-Dro]

because those one cards cost them a sh.it load of money

[Medved]

Because they gotta pay over-payed Bums like Berto and Devon while neither of them could sell out a High School Gymnasium. like 75% of the 3000 tickets were comped because who wants to see someone without a personality or heart fight?

The state of boxing in the USA is getting sad.
