You know GGG is getting popular if Stephen a Smith skips Saturday night live to watch GGGvsStevens

[Warrios]

hbo are the best promoters in this game...

[Someone88]

That's really good!

[SkillspayBills]

GGG always delivers. You watch him fight, you know you are going to get what you ask for. Hopefully his numbers rise to the point where he gets good views.......but we don't have to pay copius sums for PPV.

[thebowtod]

awesome numbers, his popularity is growing at an incredibly fast rate

[AvoidDisaster]

Well there you have it, boxers can't use the excuse that he doesn't have a fan base or isn't well known anymore...

[Check_hooks]

I'm not surprised. I know alot of people were looking forward to this fight especially members of the Good Boy Club.

[kiaba360]

Cool, and his fan-base is bound to get bigger next year when he shows up on HBO three(?) more times.

Yup, Sergio martinez never even did that high a number against anyone

[Hougigo]

People probably heard the fighter was from Kazakhstan and thought it was part of a Borat sequel.

Most likely....I saw a bunch of dudes with thick mustaches in there
