So does seeing how good undercards used to be on a lot of the PPVs in the mid 90s.

I wish a big audience on network TV nowadays could see fights like Rosario-Ramirez II.

The undercard on Hopkins vs. Wright was excellent.

You'd think one of the networks would try and bring back boxing, particularly during the slower non-NFL times of the year. All three networks used to put in great cards on Saturday afternoons.

It was great watching Hagler, Hearns, Leonard, Duran, Ali, Sanchez on regular TV. No paying extra. I wish basketball and golf would go to PPV.

It was excellent by today's standards.

Some of the PPV cards in the mid 90s crapped on it.

I don't like it when people are overly nostalgic, because there are some great fighters and great fights in boxing today, but undercards is certainly something that has declined in quality in the past 10-15 years.
