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

[The Big Dunn]

LOL the guy wrote the book was probably White...It was a biography and not auto-bio..

Would a racist be a fan of Ali? Who was a very outspoken fighter? You focused on the authors... the point was I was a fan of Ali... pretty sure the first rule of being a racist is not having admiration for a Black person.. especially an outspoken one like Ali...

And the fighter I respect most now..is Pacquiao.. is he White?

You accused me of being a racist..while ironically being obsessed with race but justifying it because of historical injustices...

Have justified criticism of Triple G not just race-based BS...

WTF? dude you have some real issues you need help with.

The criticisms I have of GGG-his weak resume and the unwillingness to go to 168 to fight Ward, have nothing to do with his race.

Talking about his failure to meet PPv sales expectations-not about his race but about the number.

Right and if Kova and Triple G were Black and Ward was White..you'd have a totally different take on the situation..the point isn't your criticisms specifcally it's that they can apply to Ward and Floyd as well...but you "ride" with them...

No criticism of Ward not fighting Kova even though he just fought at 72? Hmm..interesting..

Ward is not even on PPV..he ran to BET to avoid committing to fight Kova and got the idiots at Roc Nation to pay him to fight a bum and paid a Network to televise that garbage fight..

Link your posts to criticisms of Ward.. or even Floyd...

I'll wait...

Wow, little g fans are incredibly silent on this one! So much for little g being a "PPV Star"!

I just don't get the black hatred against Golovkin. Oh ya but it's easy to put a big white girls but on the beach. I hate whites but not the women. LOL

K2 and HBO - they should keep doing the work they are doing for GREAT G.

G vs Quillin/Jacobs winner is a PPV fight, hot and extremely big.
G vs Froch is a definitely big dual-PPV (US/UK) fight (if Carl decides to fight).
G vs Canelo
G vs Cotto

Do you realize that Cotto-Malignaggi was a Top Rank Closed Circuit PPV not an HBO ppv?

"It's a big problem," Greenburg continues. "It's getting harder and harder to put fighters like Manny Pacquiao on HBO World Championship Boxing. If Floyd Mayweather beats Oscar, he might never fight on HBO World Championship Boxing again. But if HBO stopped doing pay-per-view, the promoters would simply do it on their own [like Bob Arum did with Cotto-Malignaggi in June 2006] or find someone else who will do it for them."

Then, in 2006, Arum matched Cotto against Paulie Malignaggi, only to learn that HBO was planning a pay-per-view telecast of Bernard Hopkins versus Antonio Tarver from Atlantic City on the same night.

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

In reference to your last sentence , I think a lot of the flak GGG gets is legitimate boxing fans (irrespective of color) , like myself who see him as a viable threat to anyone he fights , even Ward . We all know that the best fights r the ones where its viable threat vs viable threat .

GGG should not have said , or allowed his camp to say "Anyone from 154-168" if it was just an elaborate hoax to garner attention .
Nor should he have said he'd fight anyone at 168 , except Ward . Even u said that was dumb , so stop thinking everything is race based when people like myself who enjoy watching GGG have real legitimate reasons for being disappointed in him

Ward and Floyd do not have the same resume issue GGG does. I am a Floyd fan. not a Ward fan.

Of course if Kov and GGG were black things would be different because. Posters like you that have deep rooted issues wouldn't adopt these fighters as "heroes of your movement", thus the conversations would be a normal exchange of opinions.

Why would anyone criticize Ward for that right now, especially when he just signed a deal that we expect culminates with a Ward fight?

[matt22]

White boys in USA got to stop fearing ****** boys. Then white girls will come back. USA is the only place where women are more attracted to blacks. The most beautiful women in the world are from Latin America and they love the white sausage there. A met a black dude in Latin America and he said man girls don's pay me no mind here hahaha. Meanwhile I was ****ing model type broads hahaha.

I was probably the first one who criticized Triple G for that 164 catch weight **** with Ward..

Ward hasn't done himself any favors to help make the fight happen either because he's been making himself less marketable.. but yes, I do agree that Triple G has a double standard when it comes to Ward..which in turn shows he's ducking Ward at 68'...

If Triple G can't land the Cotto-Canelo winner and Ward is there at 168...he needs to take the fight or else it's just a pure duck..
