If its prelims you think they are gonna put superstars on that card? Who puts superstars on the prelims for a PPV in boxing?
Although I've heard more than once Wilder was looking to fight on this card so I suppose you could put him on the Fox main event that leads into the PPV. Line up the PPV & Fox undercard with TMT guys from there maybe. Kinda like how they do in MMA to make a better lead in to the PPV. Although that seems redundant for this card.Comment

Just to be clear is this a whole other card or is this the undercard of the Floyd vs Conor main event?
If its two different cards anything is in play with a name cat. If its part of the same card you are gonna have to structure it in a very un-boxing-like way to make it work if we got a Fox Main Event + some PPV fights & the PPV Main Event. The former I could see, the latter not as much, despite it likely not being a bad idea necessarily & something that works on a regular basis for MMA.Comment

They didn't have the hard sell on for Mayweather-Berto though; with a fight that not many folks were looking forward to, it seemed like they paired a fight card with a Floyd weekend (to then have the time to mention Floyd again).
Mayweather, UFC/McGregor, and Showtime/CBS (Fox/FS1 got the bulk of their exposure on the fight by hosting so much of the promo content, including the weigh-in and fight night) all seem to believe that $500m is possible as the take on PPV (nevermind the other revenues).Comment
