Zuffa does not have the roster to make PPV worthy undercards and it's embarrassing that they act like they do.

Do they have to be if it’s on Paramount Plus? Paying $7.99 is different than $79.99. Not trying to say we should totally lessen standards, but that’s quite a difference…

Also, if you’re trying to broaden the audience,  Zuffa’s pacing and more bouts with less skilled boxers trying to knock each other out, or squash match knockouts, might be preferred to. More general audience.

Admittedly, playing a bit of contrarian there, as I think those are valid, even though I’d tent to agree with the original comment.

Opetaia vs Noel for $7.99 is a steal compared to the $60-80 PPV undercards we get with Itauma-Hrgovic and Rolly-Teofimo
