Oh my lordy!!!!!! Fight of the century!!!! This is the best fight in boxing history!!!!! Golovkin is taking on the biggest puncherin this sport!!!! Its tge time baby!!! Time to show what we're about gennadyy!!!!! Waaaaaarrr!!!!!!!! Killkillkill!!!

Ouhhhh ma Lawwwwd! You are a funny guy! But i like this fight too!

i don't think HBO expects big numbers from this match up.

like i said, golovkin is poppin his cherry.

it was clear from day one that HBO were creating GGG as their next PPV star, there you have it.

it's a good thing. only big names next.



i'm not sure what you're falling to understand.

golovkin's first ppv is a unification fight!

not guerrero, not algeri, ortiz, rios. he's unifying the mw division.

when floyd and pac fought the fighters i mentioned above, they were already ESTABLISHED ppv stars.

I think anything over 150k will be considered a win......

Lemieux is very brave to take this fight. Could be entertaining until the expected tko/ ko for Golovkin.

WHAT?!?....he's a world champion, this is the type of fights champions are SUPPOSED to take!!...miss me with that brave **** bro....what's with you dudes here?!?...Swift fought Lucas and cats said he was FORCED into the fight...no bravery points was given to the young lion....BHop fought Krusher and cats said he was FORCED into the fight...no bravery points was given to the 50 yr old young lion tamer...but DL is brave for fighting a fighter he's SUPPOSED to fight huh? GTFOH..smh

Canelo vs Kirkland was a forgone conclusion as soon as it got signed yet I thought that was still a fun fight. Idk how one couldn't think this is gonna have fun fight potential or be a fun fight. And actually the more I'm thinking of GGG's (imo) subpar defense & I do believe Lemieux to have ****** KO power that maybe some interesting **** could go down. Wouldn't bet on it, but who knows.

Still not a fan of this as a PPV, but from a business standpoint I can understand its kinda a no lose situation for them so why not.

Fair enough, fun fight I can understand, for as long as it lasts though, I just love the tension even matchups bring, this fight serves to show if Lemieux has indeed improved since his defeats and KO, that makes it a little interesting to me.

why wouldn't he have fans there? he's not like andre ward who can only sell(somewhat) in his hometown. he already sold 8000 when he wasn't very popular but he can't sell now?

Yeah, but that was before he was like 164 for Ward and 168 for Jr and Froch and everybody at 168 doe.

this fight is perfect for the GGG haters. They get to spend the next 10 weeks yammering on and on and on about how Lemieux is a scrub and GGG is gonna KO him inside 3, and blah blah blah. Its perfect for them. That way if GGG DOES ice him early, they can say "see, I told you Lemieux was a scrub!!!!", and if they are wrong and its a competitive fight, they can say "see, I told you GGG was overrated, he just went life and death with this hobo Lemieux!!!".

Perfect.

I do. Have some friends over, drink some beers, and enjoy the show.
Chocolatito is a nice bonus too.

Kagami Taiga is right, and those who say this fight does nothing for GGG's legacy are right too, or are we gonna pretend we don't know that GGG will KO Lemieux in a few rounds?
This fight is a mismatch like the rest of GGG's fights, Lemieux is a sloppy come forward fighter with power, who's already been KO'd, that kind of opponent is easy money for GGG,
I don't understand how some of you are calling this fight exciting, how can it be exciting when you know the outcome beforehand?
For those who still don't know it the style to beat GGG is that of a good boxer with movement and good defence, not some sloppy come forward hard punching guy with no chin.

So you only watch "exciting fights" - fights where there is absolutely no favorite? Guess you are not much of a fan then eh? You probably only watch half a dozen fights a year.

As for the outcome being known beforehand GTFOH with that line - GGG may be a favourite but 95% of the fights made have a favourite. So the outcome is not known with certainty and if ever there was a fighter that typified "he has a puncher's chance" it is Lemieux - that is why it will be exciting.
