wow now..everyone use to use Glasner like he was always right so???

[i'm a fun haver]

Ward says he will fight him at 168 so why would i not say him??

Degale is there as well

Abraham

Andre Dirrell

Anthony Dirrell

Badu Jack

George Groves

lots of challengers with different styles

Ward signed a 3 fight deal with HBO for LHW fights.
Why are you talking like Haymon fighters fight on HBO?
C'mon, man.
George Groves, Abraham...who else? Zurdo?
You really going to get excited for GGG vs those guys?

[meme_man]

Where is the poster Golovkin?

[PK3434]

really?? really?? they used his numbers EVERYTIME a Mayweather fight came out to discuss

A couple people did but for a while now most people cite Glaser for entertainment purposes only. He's a funny guy that takes himself seriously.

[ИATAS]

It really doesn't matter that's why it's funny to see NSB go full ****** acting like Golovkin vs Lemieux is like a Mawyeather or Pacquiao situation here. I gues years of argueing over PPV's makes people now think this is super important (on NSB PPV buys are more important than the actual fights themselves sadly).

They made the PPV so they could the Lemieux fight. K2, Golden Boy, GGG & Lemieux aren't hurting because of low PPV numbers. The purses have been paid, which weren't all that high anyway ($2m for GGG and $1.5m for Lemieux) and there wasn't some massive promotion behind this fight. Basically both sides got what they wanted.

100k x 50 = 5 mil, 50% to cable providers = 2.5 mil. HBO takes their split and the undercard fighters need to be paid. This was a massive flop.

So no live gate huh? Absolutely no money generated from the sold out MSG?. All they have to do is break even and if K2 and Golden Boy take a loss does it even matter in the grand scheme of things?

The main point from K2s perspective was getting a title and a decent opponent. If Lemieux walked they would have been forced to fight another Willie Monroe type of fight which wouldn't have been acceptable at this point.

That may have been a flop compared to what people were expecting bit i really dont think it was that bad.

GGG pretty much carried that PPV. He was fighting a guy who doesnt bring much in the way of fans, name value or ability to win the fight. His undercard was a (great) flyweight fight and a couple randoms (by casuals standards). That looks more like a regular HBO show to me.

Is nearly 100,000 buys in those circumstances that bad?

The actual fight ******. The only notable thing about it is was that people were asked to pay $60 for an obvious mismatch. What else is there to discuss?

I'd get your point if we had a great fight that was worth discussing, but we didn't.

glasgow is lying. it did 1.2 million my sources tell me.
