    You were flapping your gums about Golovkin being "the man" and some kind of superstar that Ward had to bow to. Then he barely breaks 100k buys ans suddenly you "don't care" about it
    You haven't seen me make a single comment about it other than explaining to you that the video made sense.

    It was never to do with his PPV numbers. I said his numbers overall crapped on Wards and they do.

    Ward pulled in 350k on free TV ffs How has he got any demands to make vs GGG?

      That was on BET. Is BET a boxing channel?

      Post their HBO numbers.

      Neither of them are superstars like you claimed Golovkin was before his PPV tanked.

        And is Spike TV a boxing channel? Is NBC? CBS? No they're not.

        And all of those have pulled in really good ratings.

        Ward pulled in 350k.

        Why? GGGs ratings are better than Ward's on HBO too.

          They're more well known and watched than BET. Do you even know what BET is?

          Post the HBO ratings. GGG's ratings didn't get much better until Ward became inactive and even then, they aren't THAT much better.

          There's no A-side and B-side because neither is a star.

            Yes I know what BET is. And so? If Ward was a draw, he'd draw. But he doesn't.

            Ward has pulled in 1.1 and 1.2 in his two fights on HBO. GGG has pulled in 1.5 and 1.6 against guys nobody heard of like Munroe Jr for example.

            But I bet GGGs good ratings only happened because Ward didn't fight

              Do you have a link for that? You could be right but I swear I thought the #'s were different.

                Avg was actually only 1.029 for Rodriguez, not 1.1

                Talk about anything boxing related here. Where the boxing discussion is always Non Stop!


                Vs Dawson they hit almost 1.3:



                GGGs:

                vs munroe - peaked at 1.47 and avg 1.3

                Gennady Golovkin delivered a strong TV rating this past weekend, continuing what has been a good year for HBO’s boxing brand.


                vs Rubio 1.3

                http://******.craveonline.com/news/3...ratings-on-hbo

                I admittedly thought I read it was 1.5 ish, but still better than Ward, who's best numbers were more than 3 years ago. Hardly anything to bring to the negotiating table.

                  Ok yeah not such a significant difference that one can pretend they sit in an ivory tower. Neither are big stars.

                    No one said Ward was a draw. But fighting on BET is the equivalent of fighting on Babestation or something. No one would even expect boxing to be on there. GGG's ratings against Murray were poor but I suppose you're going to tell me that it being held in Monaco was a factor.

                    I'll use your response - "If GGG can draw, he would draw" lol....

                    Ward has been inactive. He came back to fight Rodriguez with barely any promotion or fanfare but pulled one of the highest HBO ratings that year. 1.2 against Rodriguez and 1.3 against Dawson have been his last two HBO fights.

                    Golovkin has started to pull in 1.3/1.4 type ratings. There's no need to cook the books, he's never done a 1.6.

                    Is that really "crapping on" Ward in the ratings? Not quite. Then when you factor in the different levels and type of hype they receive, it actually makes the numbers virtually dead even.

                    Plus now Golovkin has disproved your theory of him being a PPV superstar and we have what should be a 50/50 fight.
