      Yeah, it determines when do I start watching the card.Golden Boy or old DKP cards I usually watch the whole card. Top Rank only the main event.

        as a big fan of boxing, i want all the high level competitive match ups i can get. i want a good undercard as long as theres no mismatches. i dont wanna see massacres where the promoter is trying to build up a fighter.

          Why and how could a casual pay for $60-70 for a fight? I don't deny that they do buy it. It simply amazes me that average sportfan would actually pay that much to watch it. It's more like the hardcore boxing fans would **** out that much for such fight.

              I have been buying both Mayweathers and Pacquiao's PPV fight for the past few years. Last year I totally felt I got my money's worth on both of the Mayweather's PPV because of the great undercards.

              After reading Bob Arum comment on undercards, I came to realise that I've been buying Pacquiao PPV because of the main event. I will not purchase further Pacquiao PPV until that old fart puts up good undercards.

                If Top Rank only cares about main event, they might as well scrap the whole undercard and get to the point what everyone is waiting for. Saves money and boredom.

                  It just happens, some friends bought Pacquiao-Mosley and they looked at me like I was crazy when I said I wanted to catch the under card too which had a lot of good names. Same with Cotto-Pacquiao and Mayweather-Cotto. Most casuals just buy it at the last minute or they just buy it and use the under card as a time to buy pizza and drinks

                    Pacquiao vs Mosley was boring. You miss the undercard and watch the boring main event. What happens then? I don't think any casual would buy PPV again after that.
