Dissecting Golovkin's MW Reign

[Johnny Rubber]

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.

No, We just need scientific evidence to ascertain how you managed to speak to everyone in the UK.

I didn't turn anything Into anything, my stance has been the same the whole way through.

Why do I need to explain what a casual and hardcore fan is? A hardcore fan is an avid fan who follows the sport closely a casual fan is someone who doesn't really follow the sport and only knows the big names. Again why do I need to explain that?

My stance has always been that Golovkin is unknown in the UK outside if hardcore fans. That's factual, he is uknown.

You then combatted that by saying "do only hardcore fans watch Boxnation" to which the answer is obviously yes. As it's a Boxing subscription channel.

As for the last part, again, give me directions to the world you live in because clearly you don't live in the real world.

I don't know about you but I have bills to pay. My Sky bill costs 93 pounds a month, I have bills to pay, a house to pay for, phone bills, food to eat, family to provide for.

Ł12 a month ontop of that for one channel is a lot of money in the real world. Yes even for people who don't work in chip shops.

No causal fan is buying that channel unless they are very well off or still
Living at home with their parents.

Show Me the proof! I live in the UK and many of my buds couldn't give two ****s about boxing, but they know who He is, without my imput.

The only FACT is that you have posted an OPINION, nothing more.

I want Golovkin vs. Korobov in a unification bout early next year. Come on, its time to unificate those titles. The IBF is sadly with an Al Haymon fighter (Taylor) and the WBC is with Cotto who doesn't seem to keen on fighting GGG (but maybe Canelo is).

So at least capture that wbo title, that sure gets him some lavarage (and he would also be the WBC interim, for wathever that's woth)

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

No one cares who the best middleweight on the planet is. How on earth can anyone think a fight between a completely unknown fighter will sell better than a fight against a fellow Brit in a domestic grudge match? It's not even a debate.

Are you being sarcastic or what? It's plain and basic common sense. There's nothing opinionated about it.

[Agent Mulder]

so glad Rubio got knocked out in the 2nd. Cotto can't cherry pick him now

No sarcasm required, IDH has used the word "factual" without any means of substantiation other than His thoughts, which makes it an opinion.

To suggest that only "hardcore" fans will have heard of fighter is ridiculous.

Cotto maybe is the smallest middleweight… but the most skillful at middleweight. Nobody in the middleweight division is on Cotto’s level, not even Golovkin. Stronger yes, that’s it!

It's not ridiculous. It's plain and basic common sense. No one in the UK knows Golovkin apart from hardcore boxing fans. Your mate down the road might know him but that's a very small exception in the bigger picture. You really need to think beyond and realise that there's a whole world out there. Boxing is very much a niche sport in the UK - the vast majority of the British public don't watch boxing at all let alone know who Gennady Golovkin is.

How can people not get this?
