Comments Thread For: Gennady Golovkin: Building An International Superstar

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Jake Donovan - Even on the heels of a sensational 2013 campaign and a hectic schedule, complacency was never on the table for Genandy Golovkin.

The unbeaten middleweight titlist was last seen in the ring just 12 weeks ago, scoring his fourth knockout win in as many fights on the year with an 8th round stoppage of Curtis Stevens. The bout aired live on HBO from Madison Square Garden Theatre in New York City, his third appearance on the network in 2013 (and fourth overall) and second on the year at the world famous NYC venue.

Understandably, there was disappointment expressed when his next fight – an upcoming title defense versus Osumana Adama this weekend in Monte Carlo, Monaco – would not be carried on American airwaves. The bout will still air live in several markets throughout the world, including BoxNation in the United Kingdom. [Click Here To Read More]

I really hope he keeps winning and adding up 'Good Boys'. He needs to take the strap from Sergio. Beat Quillen, Sturm and Murray too. If he does that he'll have cleaned out his division and will be in the same boat as Ward. He's my favorite fighter and I want him to be an indisputable p4p fighter. He sure does pass the eye test.

It's a clever strategy and one missing from many "stars" in the sport. Fighting in Carlo and the US builds up a wider fanbase and I hope he manages a UK trip and maybe a couple other Euro countries. But when he becomes a bonafide hit, fighting in the US and US only will become the norm for him sadly.

And probably only for 2 fights per year...

Good plan. so long as HBO pushes him while allowing him to feast on mediocre opposition he will continue his rise to stardom. The problem is the AMerican audience is going to tart asking him to face real competition. If his people try to avoid this by simply taking him to other countries to fight the american audience could turn its back on him.

Like it or not, the US is the mecca of boxing as of now. GGG can always opt to stay overseas and become the next felix sturm or darius michaelzewski (sp).

yawn.. let me know when he's ready for that beatdown from Ward.

[hitking]

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Same **** different toilet. Everybody's scared of GGG, so he's gonna keep fighting tomato cans. Step up and fight SOG b1otch.
