If I was Matthysse's manager I'd jumo at the chance!! Maldanado is average and has a suspect chin, so its a good bounce back fight for Lucas to look good on, and probably get the knockout! Plus he puts himself back in the spotlight in a huge event!! It's a win win as far as I can see... Regardless I'm looking forward to the return of The Machine

Probably wouldn't get much money for a fight like that even if he was on Floyd's card. He's right at the door step with the best at 140. No need to jump way down in competition like that.

He should reschedule for a fight after may

With a supposed 8K Argentines coming over to watch Maidana in Vegas, I would say it would be a smart idea to get Lucas Matthysse on the undercard.

Both Maidana and Matthysse fight in the style that Mexican fans embrace. Add to that the fact Mayweather is a polarizing figure and you have a crowd of Argentines, Mexicans and Floyd haters all going to vegas to see this fight, and all buying it on PPV.

Floyd's fights are the biggest thing in boxing.

That kind of exposure would be good for Matthysse, a lot of my friends who are casual fans don't even know who he is which is sad.

Who even said this undercard spot is even on the table?

Mayweather decides what fights are on his care and you answered your own question. If 8,000 are coming over to see Maidana, then why would Floyd even consider another Argentinean fighter?

I never said the undercard spot was on the table, I said I think it would be a good idea to put him on the undercard.

Miguel Angel Cebreros from ESPN deportes radio reported a few weeks ago that there was a lot of excitement in Argentina over the Maidana fight and the Martinez fight. They estimated that about 8k Argentines could be coming to Vegas for the Maidana fight. With Matthysse another Argentine on the card, may be able to bring even more.

Also, why not consider him? If his fight won't cost much why not? He's an exciting fighter, not only will excite the Argentine fans already there, but will be able to get the Mexican fans excited as his style is fan friendly.

Thank god he's not partaking on that bum-fights undercard, with that bum of an opponent... you're better than that Lucas.
