Alternates fights

[Alpha]

I'm talking pros and realize nothing changes unless it has to. Just thinking out loud. When promoters are putting on shows, an undercard fight should at least try to be between 2 other rated fighters in the division, as a back up to one of the mains dropping out.

Lets use SuperFly as an example, if one of the main guys pulled out one of the guys on the undercard could have just as easily slotted in. The replacement is not pulled in on short notice as they would also be in training.

It's a right idea and what the fans deserve, I just don't think the higher ups will burn through name attractions, top 10 guys as replacements and ticket sellers last minute to salvage the event when they can just put a band aid on it for the night. Boxing just doesn't have the uniformity.

They do try to do that where they can afford it.

Remember Lennox took on Vitali when his original opponent pulled out.

Yea I'm saying use it as a deterrent for those who blow weight, get busted for PEDs or get injured etc.

I think it would be too late if it was after the weigh in when the alternative​ fight could really big with the right publicity.
