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

[The plunger man]

The same people that are complaining about people making fun of the numbers, are the same guys that said Ward is a nobody who fights on BET and doesn't deserve a shot. ggg flopped and now we see his real worth. I bet Ward is no longer interested because there is no money with Golovkin; probably more money with Kovlev. Hopefully he goes that route, and once his exclusive is up with HBO he goes and fights the PBC stable.

Bet is for free.....imagine how poor wards numbers would be if people payed out 50 dollars...might get 78 ppv buys lol

Don't take notice of any fan with a photo of Al haymon on his profile.....I don't think wilder and povetkin will do better do you

this thread is about GGG, why are you deflecting from its failure by talking about my avi and asking questions about the PPV sales of wilder/Povetkin?

the fight hasn't been signed, nor do we know if it gets signed, if it will be on PPV.

Come on King, no it wasn't. There are reports this sold 97k (glazer so its likely BS) to under 150k. That is not a good number for a guy who some of his fans see as the face of the sport. There were some positives-sell out, merchandise sales.

It doesn't help his negotiating position with Canelo or Cotto, and now makes the things he and his team said regarding the Ward situation utterly ridiculous. He comes of as a little guy acting like a big boy.

Unlike the other ppv stars, he lacks a great win before going the PPV route. He needs this.

I do think the replay should do well.

Well- I was strictly referring to the actual event itself and the people who attended. Not the PPV numbers.

I said when this fight was announced that it shouldn't be on PPV, it would of gotten a lot more viewers on regular HBO and the Garden was gonna sell out regardless, most likely.

But it is what it is, it was on PPV and I could care less how much money Loeffler/K2 lose. It probably would of had more success on HBO, but it being on PPV and having only 100k buys or whatever, does that really hurt him?

I feel you about the fans talking about starpower and crap.... but me personally: I don't give a *** about A-Side bullcrap, I just want GGG to fight Canelo next. Canelo is the superstar, do what he wants- just make it happen. GGG needs that fight. And yes, you're right, a win over Canelo would be a win that will give him "PPV starpower"

But as far as the actual event, it was definitely a success. That crowd was rockin' bro. Everyone there was for GGG, basically. I saw all kinds of different people wearing GGG gear and it was definitely not a pro-Kazakh-Eastern Euro crowd.

You're telling me to imagine. I can tell you exactly how badly ggg flops when asked to pay for his "big drama shows" lol

ok, no doubt. the low sales took away from an otherwise positive event.

Let me just say this to you-I hope you, natas and some of the decent GGG fans reject the stuff from Misanthropicny, jc8804, mr fantastic and the rest of the guys using GGG as a symbol for their twisted racial beliefs. Liking GGG doesn't make you a **** and not liking GGG doesn't make you a racist.

Canelo doesn't really need to fight GGG so GGG is going to have to make a choice-Lee, heiland, Johnson or go up to fight Ward.

If he beats Ward, then beats Canelo (which is very possible)he has the resume defining win like the other PPV stars had before they took off.

The reason why I say that cigar man....is give the guy a break...it was his first venture into ppv.....he is not household name yet so it won't do massive amounts.....you have 4 boxers in the whole of boxing who will do more numbers than golovkin...one is retired ..the 2nd has his last fight next year and the other 2 are two affraid to face golovkin at middleweight...selling msg is no small feat especially if your not even American lol..get a grip

NO, I don't choose to give him a break. This isn't the Non Stop Ho Saving Board.

I analyze what happened. Had he met expectations-I'd have said so. His fans got a little too high on him and now posters are calling them out on that. That is what the forum is designed for.

There are more than 4 IMO but that isn't the issue.

The issue is simple-GGG failed to meet sales expectation for the PPV. If I and other posters want to discuss that-we surely can and will.

If you don't like that this is the topic of discussion go to another thread.

Haters trying to say 90 k .lmao

I heard it did 160k
Thats pretty good.
Live gate was a record as well.

Keep hating tune up nation

I wouldn't call it a flop.....a flop is when you lose money....the event made over 11 million dollars.....golovkin got 2 mil lemeuix got 1.5 so do the math.....wasn't spectacular but the day boxing becomes based on how popular it is on ppv is the day boxing days....how many ppv did Barrera vs morales do...or gatti vs ward ...that's the kind of boxing what I wacth....not some overhyped Kim kardashian look at me I got my melons out fight......if your into ppv go to the oscars and the wait on the red carpet....u mug

[SchoolTheseCats]

If Kovalev -Ward happens,where does GGG go from there if he can't get Canelo-Cotto?

Praying lee wins to try and fight him or he going be fighting ibf mando johnson
