Comments Thread For: Froch: Golovkin is Not PPV, I'd Need a KO To Beat Ward

[bojangles1987]

Stevenson never fought a single rated contender at 168, let alone 175 before he fought Dawson. Kovalev smashed a top three contender before he ever so much as got a sniff of a title shot.

You're criticising Golovkin for not fighting anyone good, all the while criticising him for wanting to fight said good fighters.

Don't bother.

"Real Talk" is either a unabashed liar or completely clueless. Either way, not worth arguing with.

What basis do you have to say that his stock has fallen?

People were saying his stock fell after the Martinez loss and then he comes back to score the highest ratings on HBO with a guy like Vera.

Just Golovkin fandom. I mean, I'm a fan too but arguing he's as big as Chavez Jr. is ridiculous.

competitive drive? this guy is thinking money or retirement.

People are crazy if they are complaining hard as **** about a guy lookin to retire takin a money fight and the people who are here to stay takin money fights and look to it as a showcase/tune up fight. wheres the competitive drive there?

Why is GGG not a PPV fighter? Because none of the PPV fighters want to fight him. It's as simple as that. I find it a bit sickening that people would actually support Froch for wanting to take the Al Shame-on approach to match making. As long as fans keep validating this lowest risk for biggest purse mentality, we will continue to see unexciting, noncompetitive match ups.
And just for the record, Mayweather may be #1 p4p and thus carry the biggest PPV draw but I find his fights are getting more and more boring and predictable every time out. It's beyond me why people actually keep supporting this slime ball. It seems like some fans have become so consumed with admiring the biggest bank account that they blindly accept whatever decisions "money" makes. What a shame.
