    He was bad for fighters under his company but great for fans. I think a lot of it had to do with the public not as interested in smaller fighters as they are now TBF though. That pushed them on to the undercards because there wasn't enough interest for them to headline.

      No, I don't, I was just a kid back then, barely a casual. I was actually gonna make a thread asking about this, since people always seem to bring this up whenever great great undercards are mentioned.

      What are some examples of his better undercards?

        Back in the times, it was easy. Fighters were keen to fight the best.

            True indeed, and they were also paid a lot less compared to today's boxing elites...

                ^^^ this it was normal to have these type of ppv back then. This has to be the worst era ever of boxing.

                  I agree, back then it was never a question of IF they would fight, the only question was WHEN they would (and if they had any money left after the Don ripped them off)

                    Sick card. The Nelson-Leija fights were very entertaining.
