GGG is the new Mr.HBO

[US Dirk Killer]

Only took a year for people to warm up to him..... coming for all your asses

[A_Jeffrey]

And to be perfectly honest, even though GGG is an excellent fighter, he's not THAT exciting, I mean he's no Pacman and he doesn't have the looks of Canelo.

wtf are you talking about?

[I Love Jesus!]

Isn't Broner putting up less numbers on Showtime than HBO?
Not Even Broner/Rees beat Golovkin. What was it? 1.4 to Golovkin's 1.5?
That's sadder
Getting beat out by a foreigner

Broners nothing hes another Berto

lol Broner is like 7 years younger and will build a name for himself more so soon. It was him they wanted on PPV.


And Andre Ward is Mr HBO. If GG wants that spot he can try to go get it from him

My point was Broner been on the scene longer and both networks and Golovkin took a year to get more than him.

Golovkin does his talking in the ring,in brutal fashion.Broner is in press conferences talking smack of the highest order,and posting pics of himself eating ice cream when he can't make weight.GGG has charisma and a workman like charm.AB has none of that,even his performance against Paulie was questionable.

If or when GGG fails won't be laughing quite so hard as when AB does,I have the feeling we will have a long wait for GGG to trip and fall,whereas AB not so long

the NSB hate for GGG is steadily building as well which is a sure sign that he is moving in the right direction. NSB hate is proportional to success the more haters you have the more successful you are.

There is rarely a GGG thread which doesn't have somebody ****ting on him at this stage so when that gets to the point where every second poster is ****ting on him he'll know he has truly become the king of boxing.

[HeroBando]

The guy pulls in numbers, and hasn't seemed to duck anyone. Hell, every time they interview a fighter after they have won and ask him who they'd like to fight, they always dodge the question... GGG straight up said Martinez. He's ready, willing, and able to make the big fights happen.

GGG is doing big numbers due to his consistency. Hes fought 5 times in a years span, and already has a fight lined up for Feb 1 against a grade-A fighter in Murray.

Most times when HBO is hyping a fighter up, that fighter becomes complacent with fighting once or twice a year. That, in turn, gives the public the chance to forget about them. An "out of site, out of mind" kind of situation. GGG stays busy all year, which keeps his name floating about so it doesn't give people the chance to forget about him.

Good points as usual

[KingTito]

People are interested in him of course. He has a fan friendly style and pretty much delivers a KO/TKO every time he fights. If he continues to win against increasingly better opposition, he will be a star in boxing.
