WARD would help GGG draw triple or 4x the numbers he did with Lemieux
People who are huge GGG fans don't like the fight because they are not too sure that GGG would win, but the true boxing fans, they'd pay some good coin for this one.....classic boxer vs puncher fightComment

If Glazer is right then this whole making GGG a PPV star is going to be put on hold and that is a good thing for us fight fans. Back to regular HBO for him and that is a great thing. Now I just need to resubscribe to HBO.
I love watching GGG fight but the higher jumped the gun on this. If they truly want GGG to be a PPV star he needs way more tv time. They need to get him on late night tv (ala pacquiao and jimmy kimmel). Get him involved with advertising and just flood the people with GGG. His issue is his name and where he comes from. Regular Americans don't know him and they need to put him front and center so they can see who he is. Because if they are just banking on putting him on HBO and expecting that will parlay into PPV status then they are wrong. They mainly need to step up the marketing 100 fold for GGG if they want him to be an American star.
I think he should also officially change his name to Triple G. Be creative with marketing him.
Remember when Lance Whitaker changed his name to Goofy Whitaker as a marketing ploy when he started making noise in the heavyweight division.
Change his name to Triple G, have him appear on WWE with Triple H

do you really think GGG vs Ward wouldn't do good numbers on PPV and gatewise
GGG sold out the garden with someone of Lemieux low notoriety, what do you think will happen if he and ward fights??
I say a sell out at the gate and prop 300k-500k ppv buys....depending on when it happens maybe even more
Its starting to become the new Mayweather vs Pacquaio on this site...people will pay to see it happenComment

That's marketing 101. Get your product name out there for all the masses to see. Floyd did wwe and dancing with the stars and look what he got out of it. Pacquiao was a regular on the kimmel show.
So getting GGG to do these type of things helps build his brand and he needs its becausrc right now his brand is nonexistent.Comment
