Comments Thread For: Mayweather CEO Not Surprised By Golovkin PPV Stats

[Deevel916]

As I stated in the other thread pertaining to the ppv results....

Whether it was 100k or 150k, I dont think anyone outside of GGG's team thought this would be a ppv hit. You have a Kazakh fighting an unknown Canadian for the first time on PPV. They got caught up with the sell out of MSG and thought it would resonate to PPV sales.

I see people comparing it to Floyd's first ppv results. Lets not forget that Floyd's first ppv was against a very popular fighter in Arturo Gatti. I can still remember the promotion slogan for that fight. "Thunder vs Lightening. That fight did 350k buys. What GGG just did would have been the equivalent of Floyd facing a guy like Diego Chavez on his first ppv appearance. I can see that fight at that time doing similar numbers.

At the end of the day this was a fight that had no business being on PPV and hopefully they learned their lesson.

And just to clarify, this fight wasnt put on ppv because HBO thought it would be a big hit. It was a ppv bout in order to satisfy the purses of both parties involved.

Woooow....

There isn't any coming back from that.

[Calculating...]

I remember people on these forums were pushing Pacquiao who started at 106... to move up and fight Sergio Martinez or Canelo at 154...

Dude would be fighting in his 9th weight division lol...

Ward can't fight Kova one division up which was his Olympic weight...

Ramon G..can't move up..he's too small...

Rigo can't move up 4 lbs to fight Loma etc..

Floyd can't fight Triple G at the weight he's fought at and his supposed to be the recognized champ in...

Wow, racism does still exists..unfortunately the media doesn't care about racism towards Whites..it's actually even encouraged...

I mean these little ****s watch boxing focused on race lol..it's hilarious...

You can't do much about it, it is what it is. I encourage the Eastern Europeans and Latinos to continue knocking out these Fl0mo's favorite fighters. Only makes them more agitated, "BUT ROY WAS BETTER DOE"

GGG PPV not doing well is starting to reveal a little to much racism for me

It has always been here and sadly, for some weird reason more and more of it is being allowed

The gennady groupies right now all this race talk over his weak numbers. Holy shlt

it is pathetic

150,000 PPVs means that Cotto or Canelo is the "A-side." Get ready to fight @ 155!

Let me find out Barcham really starts his own boxing website.

I think it also has to do with the guy he was fighting. Yeah Lemieux was a big puncher with a good record, but who him? A lot of people didn't know who Lemiuex was before his fight with GGG was announced. Now if he fights Canelo or Cotto, which I doubt, the numbers will be a lot higher.

Hey dichead of course ggg numbers would be higher if he fought someone w a much bigger fanbase than his own. That fight ggg's ppl were hoping that little girl had a big enough fanbase on his own but as it turns out he doesn't.
