ya they will buy it anyway bob but that dont mean u got rip us all off. he could easily put on halfway good under cards for the fans which him and manny have been acting like everything they do is for the fans for years

"Boxing is a business". Remember? Or does that only work for one person in boxing?

[Vasyl’s dad]

You can't say that, because this leaves no room for people that discredit Mayweathers PPV success.
Those that say he only sells good on PPV because of undercards.

Speaking of Mayweather, when it comes to him and his decisions, its "boxing is a business".

But when its Bob making better business decisions, its not ok?

[The Problem Child]

Really? Did you pay for Mayweather vs Canelo and didn't watch Matthysse vs Danny Garcia? I only skip them when they suck why would you skip value you paid for if it's worth it.

Oh, noooo, no no... not that time. That was one of my favorite events all around due to the nice undercard. However, in most undercards the fights are not of much significance or just bad matchups. (since that's the standard for most and it's sad because we have sort of accepted it... that's what we're used to)

Bobs a dinosaur

If i'm going to drop $50-$70 dollars on a fight, I want a very nice undercard! The last fight (Pac-Bradley) was weak! Why wouldn't they give the fans a decent undercard! TR is OK for HBO, NOT PPV! Fox 1 was probably better tonight (Ortiz-Collazo) than this event will be in April!

The bulk of the viewers only watch the main event.

Crowd showed up for Garcia-Matthysse, Canelo-Mosley, and Mares-PDL. Bob is just old as dirt.

Who fought on the under card for De La Hoya- Vargas? Without looking.

Even Don King, despite all the hate he gets, used to put together better shows back in the day. Don liked to rip off his fighters, but Bob likes to rip off the fans.

It is a better undercard than Pacquiao Rios and Bradley vs Marquez. As far as his statement 90 percent of people don't care about the undercard, that's bull****. The only people that don't care about the undercards are the richies in Vegas that show up for the big fight and casual fans at the casino who are just there to be there. What about the half a million shelling out 65 bucks for 3 hours of garbage for a fight that should be on HBO? Arum makes me sick. Me and my friends get together and watch every ppv, but if Top Rank keeps coming with garbage undercards like they did last year, especially for fights that should be on HBO, not saying Bradley Pacquiao, but lets say Marquez or Bradley Provodnikov, I will be more than happy to just wait a week and watch the replay. **** Arum.

No its not. I take it you've never been to a fight night party. Mostly everyone, except for a few people, are doing anything but watching the fights. Its only when the main event comes on that everyone tunes in.

Exactly. Thats why they buy the fight. I talked to a casual sports fan That bought Floyd/Canelo (and said it ****** by the way) and he didnt know who Danny Garcia or Lucas Matthyss was. Most just buy the main event.
