Comments Thread For: Golovkin-Lemieux Talks Heat Up, Looms For 10/17

This I agree with. A good fight, but does not belong anywhere near PPV.

It's a world title unification fight between 2 all action punchers, both with a good fan base. I think it will do well.

So whats your explanation for the cw barcham? He wanted to move up to fight Chavez and Froch at 168 why not Ward?

Already asked and answered about a dozen times in about 4 threads in the last 24 hours. Look around, you'll find it. Tired of repeating myself.

Fighting Alcine & Rubio's leftovers smh. Lemieux is tailor made for GGG, he has no defense or punch resistance. He was getting rocked a bunch and nailed by wild telegraphed shots from Alcine, made Alcine look like Roy Jones Jr. lmao.


GGG fans already trying to hype up Lemieux.

No one is hyping up Lemieux. There is no middleweight in the sport today who can beat GGG. Unfortunately, Golovkin is a natural middleweight and is fighting in his natural division and it is not his fault that he is so far above everyone else. Lemieux does have a puncher's chance, however, and that should make it an interesting fight. People should also not judge him on fights he had years ago when he was first starting out.

I give it 4 rounds, maybe less. Hard to make predictions with Golovkin though, because you never know if he will carry a guy for a few extra rounds to get some work in. We should have a good idea how it will go after the second round or so.

I think it will do better as a PPV than Ward-Smith did as a free fight on BET.

he continues to duck ward....

I'm living in MTL and I really love David... But I really doubt he can win this fight. I mean.. he need more experience with high level opponent.. not with a p4p! I wish he'd have at least another fight before fightin' GGG. I really hope this fight won't happen now as they mentioned here. He should have another fight and then takes the loser of Canelo/Cotto fight and GGG would take the winner.

Cotto is not fighting Lemieux in this life or any other. Try to be happy for good fights, normally there is a favorite - very rare to get 50/50 fights. I have this 65-35 GGG - but if GGG allows Lemieux to hit him like he did Monroe then he's going to the canvas and we'll find out how good his chin is.

Its simple hes ducking Ward...He cant go with the "money" issue cuz jay z has plenty of that, so whats the next excuse he goes for?? "Oh i want a cw of 164, but im willing to fight chavez jr and willing to go to england to fight Froch at 168, the weight is no problem"....

If you cant see thats a duck, then its obvious you need to stay off this Forum and boxing forum24 as well, cuz nobody wants to read your garbage..

It's not a bad fught by any means. Not a great fught but it's an even worse ppv fight. This fight doesn't belong on ppv and it will bomb

If it does 150000 in Canada and 100000 in USA that is not a bad start to a PPV career. Gotta start somewhere - can't all be doing 1 million from the get go.

You switched your tune..i remember bringing that upto u on the boxing forum24 and you said both fighters are not ppv fighters, and you starting moaning and groaning like a female cuz i shut u down... whats next barcham, you going to report me some more?

[SteveM]

I guess they testing the waters with GGG on pay per view. If it bombs might end up getting murdered in the negotiations with Ward and Cotto/Canelo even worse. Even if its a success Cotto/Canelo could double it. But I like the fight. I personally would pay for it.

You have to start somewhere - 250/300K would not be too bad.

Marketability, Chavez and Froch have it(Fan base) and Ward does not. Simple math really, the almighty buck.
