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

[-MAKAVELLI-]

it's because he's fun to watch...relentless and ruthless

[From Russia]

KO's, fighting style, appearance and also important thing:

GGG looks very charismatic in the ring, his composure, the way he calmly stalks and destroys his opponents and how focused his face looks is just amazing. Other fighter who had that charismatic aura were Toney, Tyson, Hearns.

nobody wanna say it, but i will. hbo and the rest of the white boxing fans have given up hope on having a good white boxer. then, this guy comes along. that's all it is-- a white hype.

This pathetic alt's got it figured out, HBO has a long history of shoving Russian/Central Asian dudes down our throats.

Why would he? He created that alt just so he can share these gems with us, without sullying what little is left of his primary account rep.

Word of mouth, he is KO'in people and word is going around.

[Russian Crushin]

Well I don't see much of them, all I know were they looked hot and they were all carrying the Kazakh flag and I just assumed they were Kazakh

Yep, and for sure they didn't look like Provodnikov)
You shared a link with American Kazakhs, but those are immigrants, and that doesn't give you a true picture. There are many Kazakh students studying in the US (that's why you saw many young hotties). Still, those students are so patriotic that they decided to come to MSG from all over the US just to support GG, i.e. not just NY. So, even if you end up meeting some KZ hottie on GG fight, she would be prob'ly not from NY city lol.
