    SHOWTIME TO AIR ENTIRE UNDERCARD OF ORTIZ-BERTO II
    By Ben Thompson | December 20, 2011

    "The time of non-televised undercards is going to be over on Showtime. There's going to be no more non-televised undercards because for the big fights, like this one here, undercards will be televised. They will be televised, they will be part of the broadcast which will be shown on one of the Showtime platforms," stated Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer, who revealed that the entire undercard of the February 11 rematch between Victor Ortiz and Andre Berto will in fact be televised. Schaefer made the announcement at yesterday's press conference, where the new Executive Vice President and General Manager of Showtime Sports and Event Programming, Stephen Espinoza, was also on hand to give more details.

    Read the rest below and also vote in the early poll.

      Yeah, i'm not sure if it's good or bad. Will promoters start to leverage prospect vs journeyman fights? Because that's what most untelivised undercards are.

            Normally the boxer wins the rematch in close fights.. but Berto is really a fighter himself

              Something tells me Broner or Russell jr will be on there, Hopefully it's a good card.

                    That was a HBO fight not Showtime...It seems like this is a Showtime thing.

                    I wonder if they will do it for all their fights or just GBP fights since the guy who took over for Hershman is in bed with GBP.
