Dissecting Golovkin's MW Reign

[IronDanHamza]

What the hell are you even waffling on about?

Golovkin is on Sky anyway and he has no casual fanbase in the UK. It's as simple as that.

At the moment we're at casual fans and hardcore fans not being a real thing.

It would absolutely not be bigger than the DeGale fight.

yes it would, it would probably be billed as GGGs first HBO PPV. It would be PPV in the UK, no matter where it was held. Simple as that.

It wouldn't even be on HBO PPV. Of course it would be PPV in the UK because Froch is a PPV fighter but it wouldn't sell nearly as well as the DeGale fight. How can anyone even think that?

The term casual fan and hardcore fan are not real? It's as if you're joking, but I know you're not.

They are very real. Very basic and simple things as I just explained in my
Last post.

Well yeah ok so "some" people might "watch" Boxnation maybe once or twice a year at there Aunties second cousins the point is it's extremely rare that a casual fan will be tuned into Boxnation making your point worthless.

It is factual. It's obvious and doesn't need explaining. Golovkin is unknown in the UK. Tommorow walk out into your street and ask the first 20 strangers you see if they've heard of Gennady Golovkin and see what they say.

Ok, it's clear you don't know what a fact is, nor do you understand that asking 20 people a question is not a valid method for finding out if a subject is 'unknown'. It's not factual, you don't know what factual is and you also don't appear to know Golovkins status within the UK.

Google the word term casual fan and hardcore fan, see if there is one definitive globally recognized explanation for the term and tell me how that goes for you. Pro-tip: trying to define terms which are essentially made up is ******ed. Get the point?

You're comparing ottke to de la hoya and calzaghe to Trinidad????

No, you're doing that.

Bernard had immediate options for six-figure fights to move up and fight those guys and chose not too (both right after the Trinidad fight). Warren & King came to an agreement where Hopkins would fight Harry Simon then Calzaghe, with him making more money to fight Calzaghe than he received to fight Trinidad. He turned it down and sat out until he fought Hakaar far later.

Hopkins also called out Michalzewski after the Roy Jones negotiations fell apart, Universum made a multi-million dollar offer, Hopkins went quite and continued on at MW. Today we consider Bernard one of the greatest all time MW's.

It's extremely obvious.

Golovkin is completely unknown in the UK outside of hardcore Boxing fans.

We don't need scientific evidence to know this.

Ok man, as you say.

Because the fight would be sold as the best middleweight on the planet against Britain's best fighter ,Sky would milk it for everything. I can't see how you can't see it

N'Jikam is still better than Stevens, which is when that fight should have happened. But it didn't. He's also better than Ishida.



they'd be better than Stevens, Rosado, Ishida, at the very leats, they're middleweights.



Murray is a better boxer than macklin and has a better chin than both. His biggest problem is his inability to finish a fight strong.



No offence at all, I'm just saying this so people don't get too carried away. GG is an excellent fighter but has had a very, very mediocre title reign.

Due to boxing being mediocre as a sport these days.
