Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Promoter: GGG Creating a Mike Tyson Effect

[GMAN SUPREME]

He has the stable to help the sport grow. If he puts a big name on NBC it wont mattee who they fight itll attract at least 3 mil viewers and if they look good itll boost up name and brand. Place sone lesser known fighters on undercard and getting that kind if exposure for them is crazy. Bigger fights on Showtime and im good.

Also see promotional companies bidding over rights to a fight.

Im excited to see what he brings. Hoping its good.

you idiot you are excited to see mismatches because that's what al gaymon will do.

how do ggg fans not want to see arguably the best fight that can be made in boxing as far as talent level wanting to see an historic fight is being a groupie? get the **** outta here with that ****

3 questions for you if you come back to this thread:

1. Why do you think GGG fans don't want to see him fight Ward?

2. Why are you so impatient that because the fight didn't happen yesterday, you have to look for some-one to blame?

3. Why blame GGG or his fans when it's obvious from what has just happened with Roc buying out Ward's contract that Andre couldn't have fought GGG before, even if GGG had gone stalking him like Briggs with Wlad?

We are talking about a historic fight between guys in different divisions, not a cup of instant coffee.

If golovkin is tyson ward is the real deal holyfield

GGG doesn't have to face Ward to be the best because, Ward isn't in his division.

That would be like saying Ward has to beat Kovalev to prove he is the best.

Not exactly...

I would like to watch Golovkin vs Ward AND Ward vs Kovalev... But above all I would like to watch Andre Ward fighting Beterbiev... This guy is a monster in "inside boxing"...

U obviously weren't there Cheese Man...
Tyson fought monthly on Free TV, for a couple of years...

Nothing today compares with that kind of Exposure!!!

You're right, I watched Tyson monthly usually on espn Tuesday night fights

If Golovkin & Ward both desire a major fight in 2015, their only option may ultimately be against one another.

Rule out trips to Europe (Kessler/Froch/Abraham/Groves/DeGale) and rule out Haymon fighters (Dirrells/Chavez/Bika/Jack/Love) and rule out developing fighters (Rameriz/Hart), Andre Ward has almost no options at SMW.

After his 2 tune up fights with guys like Fedor Chudinov and a wt. drained Cedric Agnew, I think we'll see Roc Nation & HBO get antsy and push for a ppv with Golovkin maybe at the end of this year. And I think Golovkin may jump for it.

Golovkin's options may dry up in 2015. He's not likely to get Alvarez/Cotto, GB doesn't risk Lemieux this year, the WBO & IBF might not be willing to unify with him, and rule out Haymon fighters (Lara, Quillin, Jacobs, Mora), maybe he gets a fight with Hopkins (find out if BHop keeps fighting on the 15th). After Murray, I don't think K2 & HBO will risk killings his momentum with fights against Jorge Heiland, Tureano Johnson, or Willie Monroe.

I don't care for the Tyson comparison. This guy is nothing special at all until he fights live opponents. He's the definition of a Euro-bum feasting on weaklings, including his next fight.

Grow some balls and arrange to fight Ward, or even Andre Dirrell.

Not asking you to join my excitement. Matter of fact i care less how you feel about it.

As strange as it may sound, I think Canelo Alvarez would give GGG a good fight and won't be intimidated. Still think GGG stops him late but it would be good while it lasted imo, Canelo has more dog in him than some fans give him credit for.

Well, when Canelo fought Mayweather, that dog was a pink poodle.
