When was last time when really good main event had really good undercard?

[Cent0089]

Zuffa boxing is probably only boxing cards with undercard i really enjoyed. Evenly matched fights, entertaining, unpredictable, upsets. On the other side, main events were just low level. Evenly matched, but just not a big fights. Then, we have a big fights, often PPV, with undercard i would not watch even for free. Always the same, undefeated prospect vs someone who is there to take beating. In early undercards there is even 10x worse. Undefeated young prospect against a guy who is like 3-28, short, fat, slow. It is almost never evenly matched fight until its main event. I watched some ufc cards this year, and while i dont really like MMA, ive noticed almost all of their cards are STACKED from rock to bottom.

Last time i watched full stacked boxing card with big fights was Bivol - Beterbiev 2 and maybe Alvarez - Crawford. What about youguys ?

Makes you yearn for the mega bills of Don King

i was thinking this event too.

Zuffa is pouring money down the toilet on the whole, but the undercards I've seen have tended to be more even than Hearn/Warren cards for sure

Same as UFC model. Even fights throughout the card. Which make them more entertaining. Makes you want to watch the whole card

Even fights but overall their cards have been absolute stinkers in terms of name value in recent years.

Yh UFC isn’t what it used to be. Most of the newcomers are just fake wanna e McGregors

The undercard of Gassiev-Kadiru:

Joyce-Suslenkov
Ataev-Uzcategui
Yallyev-Khalidov
Gadzhimagomedov-Martinez
Dzukaev- Egorov
Rogozin-Deniega (very good opponent for a pro debut!)

Say what you want about Don King, but he did put good cards together a lot more frequently than any promoter these days does.

Say what you want abut Don King and he was mostly a prick but he did put on good undercards.

[RuudOEN84]

I have high expectations of the Fury-AJ undercard, although time is kind of running out on that one. Considering fighters need to prepare atleast 2 months for a big fight.

[Eolaithe]

Three potential fights that have been discussed for the Fury–Joshua undercard:

• Joe Cordina vs Manny Pacquiao
• Rico Verhoeven vs Deontay Wilder
• Frazer Clarke vs Joseph Parker

Given the reported negotiations, I wouldn't be surprised to see a few of these six fighters appear on the card, even if their opponents change.

There's also been talk of Jai Opetaia facing Wilder, although his Zuffa Boxing ties could complicate negotiations, given the contractual dispute over Zuffa's involvement in the event.

Nothing is confirmed yet, but these seem like realistic possibilities.

[londonwar]

Cordina pac would be a circus act
