    Why won't Bob Arum stack under cards like Golden Boy has lately?

    I know this is strictly an opinion but I think Golden Boys cards lately have really stepped up with a card of totally entertaining fights. Now if Top Rank would do the same I think it would be extremely beneficial. Mainly bc in my opinion top rank has the more entertaining fighters in Main Events like: Pac, Cotto, Providnikov, Alvarado, Bradley, Marquez etc.. Not saying that Golden boys main event fighters aren't great as well but I feel that GBPs main events have been mis-matches as of late. No better example than Floyd/ Maidana. And I'm a huge Maidana fan but let's be honest he does t have the speed or skill to even touch Floyd I think it will be like Floyd vs Baldomir or Guerrero. So anyways is there a reason Bob Arum refuses to put top talent in the undercard like golden Boy does or did I miss something ?

    Because he uses the undercard to build up fights and rolls the dice on entertainment.

      According to Bob, we don't care about the undercard.

            Besides GBP there was Don King who also believed in having stacked undercards. Arum doesn't.

            Just two different ways of doing business.

                  Because it is easier to pay his fighters with HBO's money than with his own.

                    for his biggest cash cow he should stack the cards with talent to build the next stars
