Comments Thread For: Golovkin Promoter: Lemieux Had To Be PPV To Happen

Neither was Ggg Monroe, which you were crying about just now. You might wanna reread the post I just responded to.

And where did I have a problem with that fight being on HBO? I said it's HBO's fault for overpaying GGG for such a horrible fight and now charging for this matchup is even worse and they brought it on themselves for paying an unproven draw 1.5 million.

The difference is GGG is a HBO fighter on PPV and Cotto is a PPV fighter on HBO. Vastly different situations, nice try. Stay salty my friends.

I guess nobody really bought Pac/May tickets since they were instantly on the secondary market.

I guess when the Garden is full, we'll just assume they're all 1Iota free PBC seat people

WTF... why is it when someone provides facts, it's automatic hate? I'm not saying this fight isn't selling well, will sell well or bomb. I'm just stating presale tickets are just marketing bull****. Wow, so many people are defensive over nothing lmao.

i know everyone hates pbc and loves to stroke hbo but if what we are hearing is right that means none of these fights we want are going to happen they cant afford it and any halfway decent fight being on ppv doesnt seem very good for boxing. i dont know it just seems like all week we keep hearing about how fightsd cant be made cause hbo cant afford it and really the only things they got scheduled are ppv fights. One things for sure arum and the others will not just sit around and put up with it no doubt they will go back to showtime and let the 2 out bid eachother. i dont understand why hbo cant just increase their boxing bank tho their ratings were very good in the spring

Yeah I don't understand that either.

ggg ward would be way bigger then people realize

Probably would be very big right now.

I wouldn't be shocked if we see it in 2016. If GGG wins his next 2 and Ward can continue to show us that he's back and why he was #2 P4P, the fight would be too big not to make.

Boxers don't like to take pay cuts, you think the rich executives who pay them do?

How do you know if GGG isn't a PPV fighter or not? He hasn't had a PPV and he's one of the top draws on HBO next to Kovalev.

I bet this fight sells more than Cotto's first PPV.

well 2 or 3 is deserving for his resume..and yes popularity does get some buy but rigo is not popular and for the last 2 years he has been the highest paid 122lbers..
resume and matter sometimes, but much less that popularity most of the time...
ward was becoming the exception..

lol stop it rigo had to go to china and japan because nobody cares about him.donaire made much more money then rigo when he was at 122.I think frampton has made more as well.

Seems like a pretty promising draw, after his last 2 bouts and the current monster sales

I don't see how it's so different. Delvin was a bigger mismatch that cost HBO more so if anything, it was worse. No titles on the line either nm unification

Anyway dumba$$, Ggg had to go ppv at some point if they wanna make it worthwhile for name opponents. No better time than unification vs another aggressive huge puncher. So far the ticket sales are proving them right

[BazookaGomez]

What does my HBO subscription have to do with PPV?

You here hatin but youll watch the fight admit to it.. dont be a ***** boy

[BrometheusBob.]

HBO paying 1.5 million for Monroe was the problem. $60 to see a 14-1 favorite, I'll be double checking to make sure these same people aren't complaining about Floyd on PPV then.

$75 to see a 45/1 - 100/1 favorite is worse, can't see how those two are the same in anyway. Keep reachin sucka

If you have never fought on PPV wouldn't that make you NOT an PPV fighter?
