    No real notable names on it but I think its full of good competitive fights.

    Looks lackluster if just glancing over names/records but I think it requires a deeper look. Joe Santisima for example sure he hasn't fought anyone good and has 2 losses but he was like 16/17 in those fights, a mere boy. After watching a few of his fights Navarette might not want to look past him he looks quite dangerous albeit at a much lower level. This could well be a sleeper imo

    He has no real head movement but there is a lot to like about Santisima.

      By paying for this PPV people are saying to the promoters that it's ok to feed us that Wallin/Schwarz/Breazeale/Ortiz 2 crap for the last 15 months instead of giving us meaningful fights.
      Dude, you paid for AJ/Ruiz, which was garbage, but was a huge upset. You are going to pay for AJ/Pulev, which is garbage as well.

      You have no issue paying to see a fighter you like, regardless of who the opponent is. Don't get mad when other people do the same

        You would never know, yeah not great names on paper but that doesn’t mean it might not be a great fight.

          Even “on paper” you can make an argument for “former world champion vs former title challenger.”

          ****, I should get my promoters license

            The undercard is what made me decide not to order this pay-per-view. It's just disrespectfully terrible. This is probably the worst one I've ever seen, except for the Floyd/Manny undercard, which was highlighted by Leo Santa Cruz vs. a literal cab driver.

              PPV undercards are always ho hum. It's the exception going against the rule when there is a good one.
              The Errol Spence vs Mikey Garcia undercard was decent, as was the undercard for Spence vs Porter.

              There's no good reason why a paying boxing fan shouldn't expect more value for money.

              Especially if PBC is involved since they certainly have the roster for it.

                I bet you Navarrete runs right through him. Easy work.

                This is like a pro wrestling squash match where a superstar beats a jobber like Iron Mike Sharpe or Barry Horowitz...except that the WWE would show those on free tv to entice people to buy a PPV.

                In boxing they actually expect you to pay to watch the squash match.

                  Americans don't know how lucky they've got it. Us Brits have to be sat up til 4-5am watching that garbage undercard.

                    Hopefully they're quick KOs to get us closer to the main event.

                      That’s great for you. Great name doesn’t = Great fights, you should know that before getting your promoters license.
