    Best Boxing card ever?

    I just read about the Mayweather-Ortiz undercard which will happen on Mexican independance day. The undercard will feature Saul Alvarez, Morales and barrera as well as the Big main fight. It looks like one of the best cards in years.

    What other great card have there been?

    Um.................. wut? Canelo is a bigger draw than Floyd, why would he fight on his undercard for? Dude can actually sellout an arena by himself and get all of mexico to watch it on tv. Floyd brings no people to arenas, he might sell some PPV but nobody buys the PPV to watch him fight, just to see him get knocked out.

      Barrera? Isn't he with Top Rank. I can't see that happening unless they did Morales-Barrera IV, which would be as pointless as Marquez-Vazquez IV was...Although it would still produce fireworks.

        Who cares why they buy the PPV, the point is they buy it you idiot. What are they supposed to be like "Oh Floyd sold 1.4 million for this PPV, but we gotta subtract 800K buys because those were probably the people just buying to see him lose".

            Floyd cant sell that much against a BUM. He hasnt drawn close to that by himself dude.

            If you think Floyd is a bigger draw than Canelo you must be dreaming. Im not Mexican but I have eyes and see how many people came out to see him against Rhodes (11k+) and what like 30 million watched?

            Put Floyd vs Rhodes in his hometown, will 11k show up?

              I agree, but he's not fighting a bum man. He's fighting a young hungry champion. We all know Oscar made Floyd a star, and because Mayweather plays that villian role like no other he sells. What i'm saying is from a business standpoint, who cares why they buy as long as they buy. Nobody is worried about the why as long as the money is rolling in. That would be like me saying "I bought Pac vs Mosley cause it was supposed to be exciting, but because it wasn't you can't count that I bought the PPV."

                    I thought Alvarez said he didn't want to be on a Mayweather card because he doesn't want to contribute to his ratings. Or something like that.
