Golovkin's next fight will draw around 1.5 million viewers on HBO - again. And after that they will ask for a 50/50 split or even 60/40. And they will do it rightfully. At the end of the day nobody cares about the resume. Boxing is a business. Golovkin's last fight at the theatre MSG was a sell-out and it wasn't because of Stevens. Nobody cares about Stevens. The people were chanting Golovkin's name. Ward draws 3.000 people in his hometown. Let's be honest: Golovkin is on his way to become a cashcow and with every fight it's getting more and more unrealistic for Ward to ask for 50/50 or even 60/40. He knows that and because of that he wants the fight to happen fast.
I guess I don't have to mention that Golovkin is already a bigger star in Europe then Ward. People forget that it's not only about the money HBO puts on the table. The German, English and Eastern Europe TV companies are also paying money to see GGG fight - not Ward.
