        To use Ronda's argument about per minute pay against her I think Floyd crushed her in per PPV Buyer pay doe. $30M for 550k buys & maybe $5M-$7M for 1M buys.

            Everyone relies on their opponent. Think Tyson (vs McNeeley) & Holyfied (vs Foreman) had some novelty level PPV buys but the rule is the strength of the opponent increases or decreases PPV numbers accordingly. Manny found out the same thing vs Rios (475k) & Algieri (350k).

              No argument there. But Ronda is now the highest paid fighter in UFC and that is saying a lot. I congratulate her on her success and hope it continues in her upcoming movie career.

              That has always been the case except for, strangely enough, Ronda Rousey. People tuned in to watch Floyd lose and they tune in to watch Rousey utterly destroy whoever is standing in front of her. And considering the level of competition in women's UFC, it is a remarkable statement that she drives the numbers she does.

              I think Golovkin has the chance to attract fans in much the same way as Rousey does, by destroying his opponents as badly and as fast as possible. I hope his team gets that idea through to him that carrying someone for a few rounds is really not required to make the fans happy and satisfied. I'd rather see GGG destroy Lemieux in one round than see Floyd dance, duck and run for 12. I think that by doing so, GGG could pick up a lot of cross over UFC fans for his fights. Especially with Rousey talking about him at every opportunity.
