Its almost cringeworthy how HBO tries to push GGG and yet he cant even do 300k buys with all the money they put into him, Im no hating because I dont hate him, he is a nice guy and all but they tried so hard to make this guy the next lovable foreign fighter to fill Pacquiao's shoes but that Mexican style and Mexican blood pandering is kinda sad. Pac never had to pander he just fought hard and got the love of the Mexicans.
Chavez Sr has mad love for Manny
I doubt GGG would get mobbed on like this in Mexico
Who is telling GGG to say mexican style, or im mexican blood?
HBO was trying to build GGG up like another Pacquiao, same broken English and boyish personality.
Only thing is GGG doesnt have that IT factor that Pacman had.
Pacman never needed a push he was an instant attraction in America, ask anyone who watched him in the feathers, dude was fun to watch the most exciting fighter in boxing
GGG is slow, plodding, he has power but to me he is just a robot style, basic just knows how to impose his will, no defense either.
Pacquiao was dynamic people say Manny had no defense but he has defense he was very slick you dont mix it up that often and not get knocked out, Manny would always get the better if you would throw hands in close with him.
GGG just stop, you will never be an Honorary Mexican no matter how hard you try
Pacquiao earned it without forcing it or pandering, Pac is legit the only boxer today who is considered an Honorary Mexican.
GGG cant even break 125k ppv buys, Pacman was doing 350-400k buys in 2006 at a featherweight division with no publicity or social media promotion at the time just hearsay from people watching him on hbo boxing and telling people you gotta watch this guy fight he is exciting a little monster.
GGG has so much push yet how come this guy cant crack 125k buys? come on man its sad.
HBO is done.
Ggg did 97k and 115 thousand on his ppv, how is that a draw? Sounds more like a loss on investment.
Ya you failed to answer my question tho. Who besides Canelo has bigger drawing power ?
In TODAYS market he is a draw because he dont have many PPV draws. Ok 97k buys. Thats 97k more than most top fighters today
this could be his calling. i think canelo alone is more popular than morales, barrera and marquez combine. but this whole mexican blood in him and mexican style is kinda embarrassing. fake ass mr.capone lol
Mr capone is from the middle east bru.
Metho leave that floyd fan boy chit out of my thread man, why you bringing uo peds? This thread got nothing to do with false accusations, and pacquiaos acne was due to the pain killer he was using, his body never changed composition like maequez did in the last two pac fights under memo a known chemist.
You still keep holding onto this pacman is on peds to downplay pacs greatness out of racial insecurity, who cares the greater pac is the greater floyds win is, the more you downplay pac and diss him that means flouds best win is nothing and his legacy was built on cherry picking and a hype job on roids.
HBO used to push no name American fighters aswell tho. They have always hyped up their fighters.
No one is in Mayweather, Pacquiao or Oscar league when it comes to PPV but in todays market GGG is one of the biggest draws. Outside of Canelo who can draw more than GGG? Most big fights nowadays arent even on PPV
Ggg did 97k and 115 thousand on his ppv, how is that a draw? Sounds more like a loss on investment.
Why would they have to push so hard to make an undefeated middleweight champ with 3 of the 4 world title belts, 16 successful title defenses, 15 won by KO and a streak of 23 KOs in a row and 33KO wins out of 37 fights look good? Hell, he is good. You are always bragging about your ability to pick the winners of big fights. Who do you pick to win, Canelo or GGG who HBO is trying so hard to make look good?
Canelo will win by body punch stoppage late
I don't need to mention what Hopkins did after he left 160. I was pointing out that he spent 5 more years in the division than GGG spent fighting professionally before he moved up. He didn't have to wait 16 years to move up in weight.
Beating DeGeale wouldn't have meant a damned thing to anyone. Being a two division champ doesn't mean as much as unifying a division. Beating a guy who may not even be the best 168 pounder wouldn't mean as much as beating Canelo.
Beating Ward would have meant a lot more (I wouldn't favor GGG and my P4P rankings prove it) but he hasn't made 168 since November 2013. For all of Ward's blatent attempts to use GGG to remain relevant during his long period of inactivity that fight probably couldn't have happened anyway because Ward probably couldn't make 168 anymore.
As for that whole, I would fight anyone from 154-168 thing. He said that in 2012 and he's tried desperately to get guys into the ring with him. During that time Sergio Martinez, Felix Sturm, Miguel Cotto and Peter Quillin all ducked him. Carl Foch, Chris Eubanks Jr and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr negotiated for fights with GGG but either pulled out or (in the case of Eubanks) got pulled out by his own promoter. Erislandy Lara chose to talk ***** from 154 while wasting his career fighting Vanes Mate"whateverdafukhisnameis"yan and Yuri Foreman. GGG finally managed to pin down Canelo after at least 2 years of negotiations. He fought Danny Jacobs in March, will probably fight Billy Joe Saunders in December if he wins Saturday and would have to fight that middleweight Charlo brother if he decides to stick around 160.
F*ck all the haters who don't see GGG trying to make the best possible fights.
Im not reading all of that, but ill respond to the first part.
People ALWAYS try to bring Hopkins up, and still don't like it when the fact that the fight with DLH was a CATCHWEIGHT of 157...Hopkins spent all of those years at 160, but knew if he wanted to make the fight that he was going to have to go down, despite being the champion. IF you must compare Hopkins to golovkin, at least admit when the big opportunity came, golovkin didn't want to drop any weight to make the fight (again, what happened to 154-168?) Hopkins was willing, and did. Canelo wanted the fight with Floyd, he dropped 2 lbs to get it, Cotto had to drop 2 for plankman, margaretardo had to drop 4 for plankman.
well, for one, you dont grow more abs and get more ripped as you get older compare to when you were younger! lol
so i guess all 36 year old is suppose to have nice clean clear skin then? LOL
Oh no, zits all over your back is a good indication of a short ester usage, look it up genius.
It's so fascinating that in a GAYLOVEKIN thread if you talk bad about plankiao, all of the fans of the same guy (and their alts) come out and whine like bleeding puzzies....RIP 5-2-15
and every boxer gets popped with an illegal IV in his arm using damn near the exact dosage that lance armstrong used to use to mask PED use?
again, you're just a partisan shill acting like he got some of floyd mayweather's money :lol1:
don't expect me to take you seriously.
I really couldn't care less, you don't have to respond to me.
and every 40 year old has alien type abs. way more than when he was in his 20s. LOL
So I guess all 40 year olds are supposed to be fat and out of shape then?
