Interesting that there's no mention of the live gate anywhere, from what I've seen

Folks have been swooning over themselves about the "OMG, Golovkin put almost 21k people into a building !!!!!!!11!!!!!!!!" headline, yet I do recall a poster, on this site, talking about how they were going to see the Golovkin fight live with a $25 ticket.

Canelo Alvarez put nearly 45k into the stadium for his fight with James Kirkland; doesn't change the fact that said fight barely did over $1m at the gate, since they were moving a lot of $15 tickets.

The again, this is Golovkin we're talking about; hype over substance, every time. Will laugh my ass off when the quietly note, in a few weeks, that Golovkin did under $900k off of over 20k tickets sold.

[note; Floyd Mayweather, when he was fighting, routinely did north of $1m in merchandise revenue for his fights. K2 jumping for joy over $120k in merchandise sales (Wrestlemania having been at MSG for I, X, and XX has me doubting the relevance of K2's numbers) smells a lot like when K2 was jumping for joy over selling out StubHub, though later admitting that their "sellout" barely did $500k in live gate business.]

Cotto got evicted

Not bad. I bought myself a hat on the way out. I brought 8 friends. 7 of which had never been to a fight. They all said they were having a great time well before the main event even started. Great show and great night overall. The atmosphere was outstanding in there.

Cotto sold out MSG 10 times, this is nothing lmao... #CottovsCanelo tickets are more than $3000 for each ticket, is not even close comparing this with Cotto vs Canelo event.

K2 needs to start bringing Usyk, so he could fight on GGG undercards.
It's too bad that Loma and Gvozdyk decided to sign with Top Rank instead of signing with the Future, K2 promotions.

Kovalev needs to drop Kathy Duva and sign with the real promotion.

would you give floyd oral *** if given the opportunity?

[Slip Stream]

Nice. Good to see a boxer doing well and getting in people that spend money. Just too bad he is aligning himself with *****-although that will surely lift his profile immensely.

Meh, I figure he'll break even with aligning himself with *****, all Golovkin has to do is keep knocking people out, the politics will take of themselves....

No. Unlike the Golovkin Defense Force, I'm neither a closeted *******ual, nor a person willing to turn ***** for a fighter that fulfills every wild fantasy that they've had of the "macho fighter".

Interesting that you immediate switch to *******ual talk once the reality hits you that Golovkin-Lemeiux probably didn't even do $1m at the gate after 4 fights at the same ****ing building. [For comparison's sake, Danny "Swift" Garcia, 5 fights into his run at Barclays Center, is already drawing $1m gates and he's still filling out his building]
