    Golovkin's following, getting pretty big

    I know you guys heard it, but to those of us that was there.... he draws a pretty big crowd. Definitely most the people there were for Golovkin (a lot of Khazak people, and hot damn Khazak girls are fine) and almost every seat in the building was filled. At the time of the fight, I wouldn't doubt less than 100 seats were empty.

    Dude's starting to gain some real traction IMO stateside... or at least in NY.

    HBO will most likely try to pick up the Monaco fight whoever he fights

    Also, to the people posting the Good Boy Killah shirt, I saw like 3 people wearing it

      Honestly, the place was like a little under half full in the first undercard fight (another Khazak guy).
      By the time Ola/Polish guy was on it was about or over 3/4 of the way full

        The place was packed when i came in there and Dusty Harrison was about to fight! He had a lot of fans there.

        Usually people dont show up until the last fight but the place was full really early. Most were def there for Golovkin, chanting different things for him and this was Stevens home town

        How was the show for you Houg?

          Was awesome, i came in at 7 so I was there the whole time. I enjoyed all the fights though... glad I got to sit closer this time compared to the last time I was there.

          Dusty does have a good following though. The entire back right row were there for him. Thought it was cool he was just walking around and talking with people.

            Nice, i missed the first fight, only got there at 8 but the seats were really close. He had very big unusual crowd for him considering he's not even from NY or anything.

            Did you get to meet any fighters?

                  What section where you in?
                  Kovalev was walking up and down, so I got to meet him real quick and get him to sign a glove. Also Dusty and his family where all over the place and got to meet with him too. Then I met Billy Briscoe near Affina hotel, met Paulie (really cool guy) saw Kevin Kelley just chilling outside the Affina talking to some people, Stevens when he came back to the Hotel and Golovkin when he was doing pictures and signings in the hotel

                  Maybe, I know there were more than 2 empty seats because the two seats next to me were empty.

                    There were some, but they weren't as loud as the USA chants and definitely not as loud as the Khazak/Genna chants
