Comments Thread For: Golovkin a Hit in The Ring, But Moves Backwards In Ratings

[DoktorSleepless]

Shouldn't BOXING fans be hurt since the top two in the division aren't fighting each other?

Why should we be hurt about missing out on a blatant mismatch?

The two best guys at 160 did fight on Saturday.. im confused.

i thought geale was decent.......but maybe his fight with barker had people saying this guy has absolutely no hope (he looked horrible in that fight) people are looking at this & are saying "i no longer care about the ko because the division is just so weak" hints his ratings dropping. hbo has done everything in their power to boost him and promote him to the fans but people will naturally stop caring if they don't get golovkin A good opponent. now he will be fighting sam solimon? thats even worse..............people are fed up. they want groves, froch, ward, bika. anyone thats challenging. he's ready. no one wants to see sam solimon...........

this right here^ "oh but he says he wants to clean out his division" then he changed his tune after ward said hell fight him.

What's also shocking about this is that Kovalev vs. Agnew did better ratings... That fight had 250K more viewers than this fight. Kovalev was also just building up his name. Agnew is obviously no where near as popular as Geale is.

So this is just shockingly bad.

The lineal title. One that can be traced over ten years. You'd rather it defended by a JMW or WW? Boxing fans should always want the Champion to defend against the #1.

im more hurt of a guy saying hell fight anyone at 168 but when someone, the number 2 p4p at that, says that they will fight him, they say it doesnt make financial sense. hypocrisy at its finest.

I'm still trying to figure out how Ward doesn't make financial sense

Golovkin has pulled more fighting worse. This seems an anomaly. Maybe not, his next fight will tell us.

it's gonna be a lot lower fighting solimon next...........

Im actually shocked.... I guess the casual fan isn't a fan of GGG like I thought they might be.. Cotto's team might actually be right... I don't think a GGG Vs Soliman fight will do any better.

In fairness, Your RBR Pre fight discussion thread initial post wasn't really about 2 MW's fighting as much as it was being happy GGG was back and how much you liked him.
