Good question.
I don't think this fight is gonna be boring. Nothing about both fighter's styles would lead me to believe it'll be a bore.
I think the thing that'd hurt the sport more than anything about this fight is if it ends in a bad decision or some other anticlimactical way like an early stoppage on cuts or something.
I think stacking the undercard would've been one of the most important things about the night.
With so many casual and nonboxing fans who'll be turning their attention to the sport for one night, it's a shame they couldn't get some of the young more exciting fighters on the undercard. Like a Berto or Miranda. A casual fan who's never heard of either of these guys who tune in to see them on that night will most definitely tune in to see these guys again. And a star is born.
Or assuming some crazy contractual agreement with Showtime, it would've been awesome to see some more "names" on the card and put something like Mayorga - Vargas together and undercard it on the night as well.
I'm not saying the undercard is absolutely dreadful as of now, but for an event like this I hoped they would've pulled out all the stops to promote the sport.
