Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Promoter Rejects Talk of PPV Doing Poorly

[SchoolTheseCats]

He had met expectations of the PPV. That came straight from HBO.


The fans (and most casuals) will go with what HBO/ESPN is reporting. The haters will think they're trying to save face and assume 97k was correct. We will probably never know who's correct.

The other possible problem is that Loeffler is on record saying that 200k+ will be a success. The haters will assume that he meant that 200k is the break even point. The fans will assume success meant them being "very happy" with the performance.

I personally would rather believe the official network and assume that the event was successful, but did not live up to the expectations of the promoters. I also respect Loeffler for saying that he got caught in the hype and overestimated.. but his and Taffet's reasons are solid. The fight was on at the same time as the Cubs/Mets game. As someone who lives in NY, I can confirm that the Mets have been generating huge amount of buzz over the past 2 months - there's a Mets related conversation in the office literally every 30 minutes. I can't speak for Chicago.

That has nothing to do with a fight that started after the game was over that's just cop out for low sells and let's you know it did not meet expectations

Haters gonna hate.

34-0, 31 kos

GGG

Almost as good as Wilder's resume, 35-0 34 kos

No that's not true at all....but if you see that then I also see that in you......I have the feeling that even if it done really well at ppv you would still say something negative about it....crawford,joshua,Degale,brook,leonard,Lewis,h earns and hundreds more are some of my favourite fighters in fact leonard is my childhood hero and I boxed because of him...I am not eastern European....I have no ties with the Russian Mafia....I don't drink neat vodka and I don't go to neo **** rally's and have not joined the Arryan race.......160 k is not a bad result and selling out msg is not easy to do considering he is not from the states and there was not American fighter on the bill.......if you judge a fighter because his ppv numbers are not up there with the mayweather and pacquaios you need to find another sport because that my friend will not make a fighter an all time great

It's time to end the not an American crap so that's why didn't sell, pac wasn't American and he sold well here because he had defining fights before venturing off into ppv, GGG have yet to do that, his team thought giving off the impression no one wants to fight him, he the boogie man knocking out anyone who dears to step foot in ring would sell to casuals but they not as dumb as we believe them to be or bought into hype not to mention his team last month and half showed he not as invincible as they let on with the ward situation

dude, your join date is Oct 2105 so maybe you are not aware of the Rick Glazer phenomenon on NSB.

Fans that do not like Floyd always used the number Glazer reports because it's always lower than the released number. Then he released a low number for Pac/Rios and Pac/Algieri and then suddenly those same posters changed their opinion of him.

If you notice I said to King that 97k was Glazer's number so IMO its BS, but for the legions of Glazer supporters on NSB, its hard to watch them pretend Glazer is a "hater".

I'm not getting into petty stuff. I can understand there were other sporting events that cut into sales. Of course there are the GGG fans that wouldn't listen to this when fans gave these reasons for other PPV's not meeting expectations either.

A lot of GGG fans want to give him the benefit of the doubt and others are not inclined because the scumbag wing of GGG's fanbase posted such insane positions.

As I told king, the low sales shouldn't take away from the overall successes of the event.

dude, you posted that garbage of your own free will, that's why I see you that way.

"well you would've said" bullsh-t, that is weak. you have no idea and are posting that just to try and justify your comments. You liking black fighters doesn't change what you posted before dude.

Nothing I've seen shows more than "about" 150k.

stop deflecting-no one is judging him based on the PPV sales. We are discussing the failure to meet expectations.

Obviously, you only want to talk about the positives. NSB doesn't work that way.

Oh my god so it comes back to the ward situation lol......ward has his hands full when he comes up against a fighter his own size kovalev......golovkin is not worried about ward for sure.......ward has nothing that triple ggg wants at the moment....let him get a title and then we will see if he takes the fight....I don't think any fighter has to take a fight with a guy 13lbs naturally bigger than him who has no title...who has boxed nobody in the last 3 years and has lost his p4p title by the ring for inactivity...I hope answered your question

wtf????????????????

[bigjavi973]

It flopped harder than a prime Reggie Miller
..

hey man don't disrespect the king!!!

[bigjavi973]

Cottos first PPV did 60k, so 150k is really good.

Haters gonna hate.

GGG keeps rollin and fighting, Ward tries to bully little australian schoolkids and sends hoax offers to a guy he is shook of.

This is a bold face lie.

As I have said in another thread. Cotto-Malignaggi was a TOP RANK ppv and HBO was doing their own ppv with hopkins that same day.

Cotto's 1st HBO ppv was vs Judah and that did 225K+ buys.

Well I'll be damned.

Thought his first PPV headliner was Judah.

it is. HBO backed ppv not a closed circuit top rank ppv.

Look ok 150 k is fine by me and it's fine by them...ita not huge by any means but for first ppv against a Canadian fighter not known really....it will get better......I couldn't give a toss what you think I am......I've been reading a lot of your posts since I joined and it's always been pro mayweather, pro broner, pro wilder and it's always been no pacquaio , no golovkin , no kovalev lol.....the scary thing is you don't even know your doing it...but crack on son
