Serious question... how did Golovkin's popularity rise so fast?

[Boxing Goat]

Becuase he's on HBO and people like his seek and destroy style-?

[US Dirk Killer]

Yeah since he is KO'ing all the guys he is fighting

More rising fighters should buy into this notion then. Fighting often will keep you in the public's eye compared to fighting twice a year

Rios doesn't even pull in those kind of numbers... he got 1.3 against Mike

I agree. It got Donaire FOTY.

If Andre Ward acted like Floyd Mayweather, he'd be one of the biggest stars in the sport.

I don't know but I really hope his English doesn't get any better! His interviews are perfect they way they are!

He gives number 1 interviews in all of Kazakhstan

[US Dirk Killer]

I guess K2 found the perfect way to promote their fighters. HBO should be happy they got him for so cheap

The haters drive the ratings up. Look what it did for Floyd, Canelo, Danny, Broner, Manny, and pretty much every popular fighter out there.

How can you hate the guy though?
