Comments Thread For: Gennady Golovkin To Hit New Markets in 2016?

[The plunger man]

One thing I think we all have missed is if canelo beats cotto....who besides golovkin can bring high PPV numbers if canelo is the belt holder..there ain't that many high profile fights for him as well..you may think it's strange but they might be able to get 1 fight before its golovkin and it might be lemeuix who will be the tune up for canelo before he has to face golovkin....there both golden boy fighters so stranger things have happened....but if the WBC are good to there word then canelo or cotto must face golovkin next....if I was golovkn I would take a voluntary early next year....let canelo have one as well...and then the big one next summer in May

When he fights Alvarez, there'll be too much money for it not to happen in Vegas. MGM pays you to fight in their arena and shares ticket revenue with you on top. Compare that to paying to rent out and operate the Alamo Dome or AT&T Stadium.

Potential Golovkin fights-

• vs Lee/Saunders winner - would sell out O2 arena in London w/ 20,000.
• vs T.Johnson in Kazakhstan would sell out the new arena w/ 15,000 or South Korea w/ 13,000.
• vs Murata in Japan w/ Gonzalez on the undercard they'd fill up the Tokyo Dome with 40-50,000.
• vs Korobov or Fedor Chudinov in Russia would be major

Kind of surprised given GGG has lived in Germany they haven't mentioned that stage, one of those big futbal stadiums.

I think he has some bitterness over his time in Germany. His tv ratings there are still very strong during their prime-time (2.3mill tuned in for his Murray fight).

None of that is realistically happening if it makes some much financial sense it would have happened already

You make no sense. Golvokin's brand has clearly grown over the past year as evident between his fights from Geale to Lemieux.

Interesting list. I'll add another one. Golovkin vs Korobov and Roman vs Shiming in China with the help of Top Rank.


It will help the Top Rank fighters (Korobov and Shiming) to fight for another world title after failing the first time.

Add Lomachenko if PPV..

[TheBloodGod]

Dumb Vegas is where all the money is at. Canelo can sell out in Vegas by himself. 50k people paying 15$ is not the same as mgm sell out not even close.

Then why didn't he fight Kirkland in Vegas lmaO?!

The Chinese government would execute Bob on the spot if he put on Shiming/Gonzalez.

LOL.......


But stylistically on paper it will be very interesting though. Middleweight champ and former olympic silver medalist against former world amateur champion (GGG vs Korobov) and P4P no.1 against two time olympic gold medalist (Roman vs Zou).


It will expose the Chinese market to the pinnacle of boxing finest right now..

First I'd like to see Murata vs Shibata II for the OPBF belt. Defend the belt vs Daniel Geale/Sam Soliman/Anthony Mundine.

When tickets only cost $16 each, selling 20,000 of them if not that impressive.

Nonesense! Even stars like Broner can't fill half of that when the tickets are free.
