I'm going to try to attend this fight - but I think it'll be a box office dud. Lemeiux will be I suppose his best opponent to date - but it is the same guy who got beat by Alcine and Rubio
I predict barely over 200k made up of hardcore boxing fans. GGG isn't ready to be the solo headliner, he needs a bigger dance partner first to get his name out to the casuals.
If he sacked up and fought Ward, I think they'd do 500k. Lemieux is another match that heavily favors Golovkin. A lot of people will enthusiastically watch that for free but not many are going to pay for it.
I've heard they're going to make this PPV very affordable. The price will have a major effect on the buy rate. It's very important to charge less than Floyd or Cotto/Canelo.

I doubt it. Ward-GGG is a hardcore fan's fight and I don't think neither has a big casual fanbase. Like someone said before, not even Chavez-Martinez hit 500k and Chavez had the the mexican fanbase behind him on a Sept. date.
