came over this,wouldnt be a bad fight to watch bika green.
While the co-feature is set [Chris John vs. Rocky Juarez II], BS.com was advised that two more fights are being discussed for the Floyd Mayweather Jr vs. Juan Manuel Marquez pay-per-view undercard on September 19 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The more likely of the two, as far as landing on the show, is Michael Katsidis in a lightweight bout with Vicente Escobedo. The other bout would pit super middleweights Sakio Bika and Allan Green in a fight with some heavy potential for fireworks. Neither fight is a lock for the card.

Mayweather Promotions and Al Haymon are taking the lead on the show's promotional end, and the money. I hear the amount of money being offered will be the main determining factor in whether or not these fights will land on the show

That would be a truly stacked card if those fights come off!

Katsidis, Chris John, Bika on PBF/JMM card?

Not confirmed but the following bouts have been talked about for the undercard...

Katsidis v Escobedo

John v Juarez II

Bika v Allen Green

I'm hearing Sakio's purse is the sticky point for getting this fight made. Hope they work it out.

Fantastic card if it comes off.

I heard Bika was offered a purse that was considered unacceptable by his people.

Cheers mate.

I'd say John v Juarez is a lock. He is in camp and sparring.

yeah, I've heard that is a lock for the main support bout.

I'd love for the others to come off as well. Escobedo looks like a good fight for Katsidis.
