Gerald Washington vs Charles Martin co-main for Wilder/Fury II ??!?!?!?

[YoungManRumble]

Fair points from both sides. I figured the average casual fan they are marketing towards doesn't really care about, or probably won't even watch the under card. Conversely I thought there might be a decent amount of frugal fight fans that would want at least 1 solid fight to convince them to pull the trigger on it.

Carry on discussing as this ModeratelyYoungManRumble must make haste with the rest of this waning day.

0% chance of it happening but imagine if they put Ramirez-Postol on this card after China got infected

[killakali]

They are taking a page of TR and telling people that they only buy the ppv for the main event. There is a good portion of the ppv buyers that want to see a good undercard

Sounds like the mismatch undercard PBC put on for Spence vs garcia

I've heard crazier/******er ideas. I would def buy it if they made this last minute addition.

IBF Eliminator??? I like this matchup and have been asking for it for a while, but good god, a title eliminator??

A title eliminator is just another way of saying whoever wins moves closer , it’s just smart to use eliminator in selling the undercard . It’s not a final eliminator it can’t be , Kownacki has wins over both .

[REDEEMER]

No one buys or not buys a PPV because of the undercard. When was the last time you've seen a undercard fight in a commercial promoted for a PPV?

People will purchase this for Fury and Wilder not for Martin and Washington.

This isn’t always true , not for high priced ones many people look forward to getting their money’s worth . This isn’t as outrageous as the Ortiz card that had no match up .

If one was a real PPV hit you can make the claim you did . It always helps reinforcing a main event if any fighter is not known or reliable to bring in big numbers .

PPVs should just be the main event and that's all. If nobody is buying it for the undercard, why show it?

Plus he's always been favored by the IBF. Glazkov was the mando, Martin only got the vacant fight after Fury was stripped because the IBF needed someone for Glaz to fight.

Sorry but that’s not how it works .


Rule 6. Procedure When Title Becomes Vacant 6.A. Fight for Title
In the event any Title becomes vacant, the Championships Committee, with the approval of the President, may cause the two (2) highest ranked contenders, according to the current ratings that are available, to box for the vacant title or cause an elimination tournament to commence to determine the preeminent boxers in the division. If the vacancy arises unexpectedly and if one of the two leading contenders has a fight scheduled within the next thirty (30) days, the President and Championships Chair may, at their discretion, allow that bout to take place prior to notification to fill the vacancy and utilize any new ratings after the interim bout. “


Martin was scheduled to face Breazeale but cancelled to get a title shot .







If any favors were going on it was the actual main event With Wilder fighting Szpilka who had already been defeated by Jennings .
