Golovkin sure only had 150k buys his first time stepping up but he was never really showcased like canelo was 3 times he faught on Mayweather undercard and once on mosley . 2 other times he was the b side (Mayweather,cotto) the one time he stepped up by himself was vs lara and he did 300k buys. So if 150k buys more makes him an 80/20 split and choice of catch weight. Golovkin has the same right to 80/20 split with ward and choice of weight. (*flamesuit on)
With PBF and Pac retired and Cotto MIA, canelo is basically the biggest draw in boxing right now, nobody comes close except wlad over in germany.
Whether you want to call that a "PPV star" or not is up to you. Hes not a tyson, DLH, Tito sized draw but hes the biggest today.
u forgot his ppv vs angulo and remember how many times floyd asked for canelo on his undercard to boost his ppv numbers
Your right i forgot angulo which did 350k . So its safe to say Canelo has about a 300-350k draw power. Which did boost fmj numbers
Cotto and Alvarez split $20m before a single anything was sold to anyone. For even Golovkin's PPV fight, the most he's ever split was almost $4m.
Andre Ward split almost $2.4m with Barrera, almost $2.3m with Paul Smith, almost $3m with Edwin Rodriguez, and $2m with Chad Dawson.
Alvarez split $2.5m with Lara (before counting the PPV and Mexico TV rights), almost $5m with Kirkland, and $2m with Angulo (before counting the PPV and Mexico TV rights).
Golovkin split $1.6m with Monroe Jr, $1.4m with Rubio, and $1.4m with Geale. When things get disclosed, I doubt that Golovkin ends up splitting even $2m with Wade.
From an objective perspective, Andre Ward has more money backing him than Golovkin has backing him; 50/50 is pretty darned generous when you look at it.
I think the draw power is what tips the scales. Hbo are either some broke *****es or pbc over pays

He may not be a huge star but he is the top draw today by a good margin.
Other than Fury/Wilder, I can't see another fight coming close to the 300+k Canelo would do.
Hes scrapes through every single fight he wins
Not the dominant force a PPV star should be like Pacquiao and Mayweather
If GGG steamrolls top opponents like Lara and Canelo he would be a P4P superstar

Canelo is a bigger cash cow than Cotto
he only accepted the b-side treatment in order to get the prima donna that is Cotto in the ring
