      50 percent will be gone once he can get in the ring with one of the other champs, too bad he can't

        they'd get in there with him if he could sell some tickets....

        the guy's personality is comparable to that of a bar of soap...

            What are Golovkins ticket sales?
            Like what was it for his last fight against Macklin?
            We already know people watch him, I can't find anything on his ticket sales other than my own personal experience in the Proksa fight

              Duh, that's because Chavez and Quillin are popular names so there is more of a statement to make when sparring them, so obviously he will put in more effort and not focus solely on defense... common sense really.

                He sells tickets because he has effective style not because he talks and acts like an idiot. You knowm like Floyd. Or Toney.

                  Cool, too bad that has absolutely nothing to do with his talent or skills as a boxer.

                    You mean clean? I don't think it is necessary to be an [insert adjective] like your namesake in order to sell tickets. I assume his knockout power is a pretty good selling point. The other middleweights clearly don't think he is a hypejob, the money they'd get for fighting him is hardly spectacular but is well within the realms of a good payday for virtually all of them. The money is just not enough for the risk of getting knocked out and having their careers set back, or worse. That is why the guys who have fought him have been three fighters with losses who were willing to take risks to quickly advance their careers - Rosado, Macklin and Proksa and an aging fighter wanting one last pay day and a chance of a world title - Ishida. Stevens is in much the same position as Rosado, Macklin, Proksa, and much like they did, he fancies revealing a hypejob. I suspect he will suffer the same fate but only quicker.


                    All the Golovkin sparring that has found its way onto the internet never has him sparring hard, only primarily working on defence.

                      lol he should've let those two beat him, lull them into a false sense of security to secure a fight.
