Golovkin vs Proksa - 658,000 viewers
Golovkin vs Rosado - 813,000 viewers
Golovkin vs Macklin - 1.1 Million Viewers

I see a trend. Do you see a trend?

Now lets compare this to the Danny Garcia vs Zab Judah and the Kid Chocolate vs Guererro card, which peaked at 850,000 viewers while Quillin was not even the headliner. Now that card had to compete with the Martinez/Murray fight, and it would have done better if not for that, but it still says a lot regarding Quillin's drawing power. He is still on undercards for a reason.

I'm going to the fight... so i'll be able to judge the crowd to when he first started against Proksa in bum fuck nowhere Verona, NY

They're still mad that GGG is headlining his own card while they search for bums to feed to Kid Ducklate for scraps. He's so mad that he actually used Ward, an HBO fighter to feed his "argument".

There's video out there where Quillin directly admits he will not fight GGG. That's okay for Golden Boy though considering there's always roasted snail vendors like n'dam n'jikam he can go life and death with on an undercard.

You're such a **** rider bro. If you think Kid Chocolate is fighting bums then what the hell is Golovkin fighting? As I recall, Kid Chocolate has fought more world champs than Golovkin has. Golovkin only fights CONTENDERS that are PAST their PRIME.

Abel has been very mouthy as of late, I hope he isn't turning into the next Freedie Roach in this regard.

Don't get fooled, this is just the boxing media stretching out interviews over a period of a few days to make it look like Sanchez is talking a lot; I bet apples to oranges all these news bites and articles about what Sanchez said equates to a half hour of interviewing.

Kinda dissapointed in quilled, I had hoped that after he won the tittle he'd step his game up, smh

Only 1 fight in 2013 with nothing lined up? yup.

On one hand, a low venue like Turning Stone is a good stepping stone for boxers. On the other hand, Turning Stone is a crappy place; about 50% of its customers and 90% of its staff are sad faced Indians. Everyone else are frat and sororiety college students and electric chair chainsmoking old people.

GGG is a bad ass. Chocolate chip isnt.

SCREW Who Has The Largest Ratings; We Care About The Best Fighter Is!

Floyd Mayweather has the highest ratings of everyone, but you're going to see he's not the best fighter; he'll get stopped by Canelo, on Showtime. Quillen can't beat GGG on HBO or Showtime. Ward is much larger than GGG, and GGG beats Ward on either Network. Canelo can fight GGG on either Network, and thats a fight for the ages. Who cares which network, who cares who creates the highest ratings. Go knock everybody out, unify the titles, and everyone will want to see you fight. Nobody knew GGG 9 months ago; but he has come on the scene like a young Mike Tyson, destroying everyone in front of him, and he's trying to go to the next level, and the level after that. I wouldn't expect his ratings to be in the millions at this point. But put Quillen, Sergio Martinez in there to get knocked out by GGG, then you can stage a Super Fight with he and Canelo or move up and fight Ward. In the meantime, shut up about the ratings.... nobody cares.

I read recently that Dmitry Pirog was making a come back. Why not fight Pirog, who never lost his belt in the ring.

Peter Quillen has never headlined the card and therefore that statement about him drawing more crowds can not be proven until he headlines one.

As for Golovkin getting low ratings... In his 3rd fight with HBO he topped 1.1M views.

Vs. Proksa .... 658,000

Vs. Rosado.... 813,000

Vs. Macklin.... 1.1M

He's getting more views every time. I expect The Stevens fight to go over 1.1M. He's being brought up very nicely.

I also expect Quillen to headline fights on Fox Sports 1 lol.

BTW, Fox Sports 1 boxing debut did HORRIBLE ratings. I believe it was 150,000 ....

[mathed]

LMAO, is Schaefer on crack for real? "Quillin and Ward moved on to bigger things because they draw bigger crowds" Bro come on with that trash, Ward won't hardly leave Oakland because he can't draw flies to schit. He has like 5k people in attendance in his own backyard. Over 20 of Quillin's fights have taken place in his own backyard of New York as well so if these guys are such major attractions, why aren't they filling the MGM grand like Mayweather?

Look Schaefer, all I want to know is where are the PPV numbers from the Mayweather-Guerrero fight? Golovkin is much more widely known than both Quillin and Ward, he is known by people in Macau, Russia, America, etc.

GGG is a bad ass. Chocolate chip isnt.

How do you prove GGG is bad ass when he hasn't fought the level of competition Kid Chocolate has? Your statement is invalid.
