GGG fans just last week were saying how good the numbers would be. Now we are hearing excuses saying he not American and cant speak English.

Ward breaks 150k in his 1st ppv bank it.

Of course, it can still be successful. But there's no one in boxing that are big mainstream stars right now besides Mayweather and Pacquiao. GGG is not a mainstream star, not even close. Don't be surprised if Cotto vs. Canelo doesn't even hit 1 million. Years ago, that was a guarantee. Not anymore.

I don't know that 1 million was ever a sure thing for that fight, so I wouldn't be shocked.

I do agree it is kind of a transition phase for boxing currently and PPV is not really the place to build star power, it can be done if someone steals someone else's shine.

Problem with triple G is he has ZERO personality. He can knock people out, sure but that's just one part of the equation. There's nothing interesting about him, and the fact that his division has the same type of boring players, people find it hard to either root for or against him.




I just hope people would now realize why Mayweather Jr's "TBE" title is justified. He brought numbers accross the boards and made boxing exciting in terms of bringing drama and hype to his fights. I know I'm going off a tangent here, but I thought I'd throw this in here anyway.

why his fight did 250-300k against Berto?

I renewed my Boxnation subscription this week. I am guilt free of any responsibility

[BlackSoul]

got damn thats lower than even I THOUGHT.
well they cant use the EXCUSE that Ward isnt a draw bc really tho neither is golovkin

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

If you think about it thought two non American fighters neither of them being Latino did 150,000 on PPV on HBO is pretty successful don't you think.

but the headliner is exploiting the Hispanic group which is the largest single demographic of PPV buys.

Now had GGG done this by coming saying the Kazakhstan style that would be impressive as it stands I contribute roughly 70% of his PPV by the Hispanic market.

It's 450k bruh, but nice try. Still, you illuminated my point. Mayweather after coming out of a "boring" Pacquiao fight still pulled 3x the number from a rising superstar and KO king Golovkin lol

If it was against Ward, they would have had to pay people to watch.

Like you've been told since you started to GGG butt kissing around here. Nobody cares about GGG except hardcore fight fans. The fight most hardcore fans wanna see is Ward-GGG. So unless ya monkey spank fuel wants to sack up and fight Ward. Or, bend over and he anally rapped in negotiations by the Cotto-Nelo winner. The max for ya boy and his bull**** unification, aka I don't want my ass brutalized and humiliated by Ward crusade. The max for him is gonna by these kinda numbers. Enjoy history homie. #alt #hkndbldn
