Comments Thread For: Arum: 90% of Fans Don't Care About The PPV Undercard

[Bigg Rigg]

I hate this guy! Co main events featuring billy Dib n Salido..... Smh garbage!!!

[Bronx2245]

Really? Dude has been in business longer than you've been alive.

So has Don King, but where is he now?

[way2strong]

If Garcia vs Matthysse wasn't on the undercard I don't think Canelo vs Mayweather does 2.2M

right because the casual mexican wouldn't have ordered it unless it had a fake p.rican or some guy from argentina

Bob has always had this same point of view.
He is the guy who used to put Butterbean on his old Delahoya PPV undercards.

Bob Arum doesn't give the fans value for their money. This is one area where he could learn something from the UFC.

For the life of me, can't figure out why Donaire has never been featured on a Manny ticket.

I was thinking about this earlier. Seems like a no brainer one would think.

[megas30]

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.

Too much logic for this forum...

So maybe if you try to make under cards that fans might care about, your ppv's would draw better!

[Respect Power]

This. While Arum has a point that 90% of the public (read: casual fans) couldn't care less about the undercard and only know Mayweather, Pacquiao and possibly a handful of other names like Marquez, Canelo, Cotto, etc... the undercard is the perfect place to introduce guys you want to push as future money-making stars on a paying public.

For the life of me, can't figure out why Donaire has never been featured on a Manny ticket.

I've thought about this too and think it's because manny doesn't want him on an undercard .. I think manny wants to be the solo Filipino star for now ..Otherwise why wouldn't nonito be there it would make perfect sense.

[Biolink]

He has a point to an extent, but him addressing this tells me that it must be a pretty damn vocal 10%. Otherwise if only dudes on internet messageboard care about the undercard why address it? He doesn't feel the need to address everything else only the 10% of people in that crowd would know.


Are you being completely honest Bob?
