Comments Thread For: Loeffler: Golovkin is One of The Most Marketable Fighters

BIG BUM SHOW IS DUCKING WARD BUT HIS FANBOYS BE LIKE

[PulpFriction]

Triple Flop has Apple backing him up, plus he can sell $120k of merchandise alone. He is definitely a decent B-side for other star fighters. Cotto and Canelo should strongly consider fighting him in 2016. They'll have to pull in most of the PPV buys, but merchandise and $25 dollar tickets would sell like iPhone's at launch date.

I watch football on weekends at various people,s houses, normally there is at least 10 sports fans there, I ask who is triple GGG Golovkin, a few knows he is a boxer. I ask who is Andre Ward, replies are "who is he?" nobody knows Ward.

Ring Mag reports it did over 150k buys and The Ring is owned by Oscar De La Hoya's company.

They also broke a merchandise record at MSG.

"A lot of people focus on the American market, but he had one of the highest rated international shows in the U.K. on BoxNation, on SAT.1 in Germany and the biggest channel in Russia. He was also on Polsat, the biggest channel in Poland, for the first time. And on top of that, the Garden told us we broke the merchandise record for any boxing event there: over $122,000."

Now that's funny

[Scipio2009]

Lol Mundine. You just love being laughed at, eh? I'm still cracking up over Fonfara Cleverly "likely" doing 800k-1m

Fight was good and the actual viewership was closer to the 800k figure than you'll ever have the confidence to admit.

Laughing isn't going to change the fact that Anthony Mundine is apparently worth $30m (unsure if he's got any major endorsement deals, but he's boxing business in Australia is far more significant that what you're ready to acknowledge).

Spin and ignore; you seem to be half decent at that.

[Scipio2009]

If what I've read is correct, Apple spent 5 1/2 hours taping him, this is just the start. Apple hasn't denied it. And if Team GGG is lying, it's be stufpid.

Likely, he really does have endorsements coming down.

The PPV were not idea, but his first we're not horrible.

Jones had less in his 2nd PPV.

The idea that we put PPV in some kind of scale that it means something other than cross over appeal is just strange. Are these guys fighters are movie stars.

Screw Canelo, just because he has a country behind him doesnt mean he'll ever be great. He is going to duck ggg, it is all but been done. Coward.








GGG is a bigger star than Lara, Andrade, and Ward. Andrade and Ward have fought once in a year and a half.

Lara talked his way into a Canelo fight, but you want him to get a GGG fight.

So what, he can run all night and eventually get caught and KO. GGG gets no credit from the haters for doing that to Lara.

Andrade wasn't fighting, and now he says he wants the fight, eventually.

Not even Ward wanted the fight this year.

And none of them bring much in the way of Star power. So I'm not exactly sure how GGG's team isn't correct.

lol. Time will tell; if Christmas comes and no other Golovkin content comes out, hopefully you have the decency to stand by your words, admit your logic was flawed and move on.

Golovkin's camp was talking about the fight doing 200k, Golovkin's fans pushed that number up to 300k, but the actual result ended up being 100k (The 97k Glaser number is likely short, but I doubt that the actual number gets beyond 110k-120k)

Keep trying to spin things; no one is actually buying it.

[Scipio2009]

You go with the low number by some guy on Facebook, because you are a hater, although the 150,000 has been reported by credible sources.

And who is buthurt. If he is so bad, then why make up things.

I am fine. GGG is on a 22 KO streak, and about to unify the MW division. Take four belts. And mostly without even sweating.

Nothing for us to cry about.

I think it is funny you guys cant knock the guy for talent, so you suddenly put PPV above skill and everything else.

These guys are fighters, not actors.

Accepting the 150k figure, directly from Tom Loeffler (event promoter), as credible is akin to accepting Espinoza's 1m figure for the Guerrero fight. You can't square those two statements with any type of honest reality.

Well if loefler is going to lie he would say 280k or 350k not 160k would he lol.....you only lie to make something look good....you won't make 160k look good.....but who cares it's a his 1st PPV and when he gets a bit more profile and people really start getting into his fights then he will sell more.....the funny thing about this is. Mayweather and pacquaio done 4.5 m PPV and everybody screamed bad fight.....disappointing....terrible.....this was a great showing by triple GGG and we're talking about numbers lol.....I look at the fighter not the PPV War golovkin
