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

[Fetta]

GGG made me a fan this weekend with an impressive victory but it seems team GGG has turned off some by jumpin the gun on his popularity. I like him so hes cool but at 32 every fighter that makes him over 600K should make financial sense. Geale was a step in right direction but he should t take a step back with Soliman.

Love how some are trying to bring Floyd into this.

GGG is the real deal. I think cotto should go back to 154 and fight alvared.

[Nay_Sayer]

Should Canelo-Cotto happen for the lineal 160 title and then Mayweather fights and defeats the winner for the very same title will you claim that Mayweather is the middleweight champion?

Yes, because at that point Mayweather will be THE middleweight champion.

1 + 1 = 2

I'd love to see Golovkin get a shot at Cotto but Golovkin really doesn't need it to lay claim to be the man at 160

Yeah, he does. Cotto is THE Man @ 160.

[Nay_Sayer]

Really? So I guess geale went into that fight undefeated cuz hes so good. GGG has been knocking out bums. yes a stevens here and there, but stevens had already lost a couple of fights, so its not like it was top competition. Why cant GGG gain 8 measly pounds and fight ward?

Because Ward would beat the brakes off of Triple Duck and everyone on Golovkin's team knows it...

The usual TMT loyalists all over this thread revelling in GGG's setback

Mayweather fans sure do love them some GGG. They can't stay out of his threads. Marketing genius!

These dudes hate Manny Pacquaio and Gennady Golovkin but defend Adrien Broner

You couldn't make it up.

The race warriors have arrived to spew the usual garbage. Thread is about GGG's ratings drop. Any comments about that?

I don't usually care about ratings but GGG fans have been so obnoxious about it and putting down guys like Ward.

So this is kinda funny seeing them make excuses

GGG problem is he isn't American perhaps he'd get a lot more attention If he was fighting in the likes of Germany... I get the feeling the Germans would back him like one of their own just like they did with the K bros.

He's white though which helps in the US but the problem is that 160 isn't that great like they say it is. I do agree that he'd make more in Europe but then no one wants to go there cause they think everyone should be fighting in the US and forget boxing is a worldwide sport.

Ward puts himself down.

You sure?

Ok, finalized Ward-Rodriguez ratings on HBO: average was 1,029,333 viewers. Their average for the main event was 1,191,000. #boxing

Stop being a ****ing a hater and posting bull**** with 0 basis.

Man damn first the sales at MSG flopped now the ratings dropped. LMFAOOO how long will he or his team keep saying "most feared, ducc?" Keep being bias & ignore he needs real comp not bums.
