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.
I personally think it will be boring,unless Floyd takes risks,risks which may be he does not need to take. I think it mainly depends on Oscar,whether he can rough Floyd up,cut off the ring etc. If he cannot,it will be boring.I don't think cuts will be a factor but you re correct,a bad decision COULD spoil or on the other hand,it could lead to an even bigger rematch....

Totally agree with you on the undecard. Boom Boom Bautista is a very good fighter and it should be an excellent oppertunity for him but I would love to have seen more fighters,like you said. I wanted to see a ram packed under card,which would slowly build up to the main event.

but with all the hype of this fight i can see boxing being hurt if this fight does end up being a stinker. but i cant see it happening now.

I agree with the Baldo fight,but I think if Floyd performs as he did in that fight,it'll be very difficult for Oscar to catch him. However,I really really want to see Oscar land that left hook!!!!!!! I think it's up to Oscar,to catch Floyd early,take him out of his rythm. I know it's easier said than done but he needs to give us something to cheer about!
