Comments Thread For: Roach: Golovkin Must Raise PPV Numbers To Get Cotto

[Razcal26]

This is a discussion my man if you don't like it, sorry. If what Roach said is so cut & dry for you, then why even pop in? You want to turn a blind eye to his gates because that goes against your agenda. 97k-150k, the ppv did bad, but lots of fighters have had those numbers and gone on to big numbers like Roy. Fact remains; Golovkin's among the biggest draws in this sport right now.

Relatively speaking, Ward's drawing power is so low he can't even support his own payroll. Let's get something clear: 325k on BET and 5,000 comp'd seats is what it means to be irrelevant.

Sure mate, believe that.

I have NO IDEA why Freddie Roach is saying what he's saying.....not one clue.

Here I thought this thread was about PPV numbers and you're talking about ticket sales and Andre Ward.

Do whatever makes you happy.

FIomos were the first fans in history to actually back a fighter ducking fights...

They thought it made them seem more of a "real fan"

**** fans of ordinary men...

Where are the real fans of boxing itself...

[texasboi15]

Boxing "fans" praying that the Cotto-Canelo winner duck GGG.
What a bunch of garbage can mother****ers lol

Shut the fck up clown there are other fights out there that I'd much rather see that don't involve Golovkin

Like Canelo vs Pacquiao at 154

Does that make me any less of a boxing "fan" you fckin moron

[turnedup]

which they obviously dont care about considering hes not a true middleweight

That's fair but he seemed to care enough to hold on to it to ask for a tune up from the WBC tho.

Yeah, of course you'd rather see those other fights because you know Canelo gets his chin smashed by GGG.

Canelo vs Pacquiao lol

When was the last time Canelo fought at 154?
Garbage can mother****er

You know, its pretty sad when a sport sinks so low that a fighter could duck his mandatory with the excuse "he needs bigger ppv numbers". It's even ****ing sadder when fans get happy,and actually applaud **** like this.

The thread is about mr 97k ppv buys and reaching saying he not a draw, why are you going on about floyd he retire, he won the snooze fight may2nd get over move on keep to topic

When Sergio Martinez was at 100% & was knocking fighters out he constantly challenged Cotto & even offered to go down to jr middle(154lbs) & Cotto & his team were using the same lame ass excuses, but as soon as Martinez's knee & hands were shot, PPV, marketing numbers nor money wasn't an issue any more & the fight got done..If Golovkin was to get hurt & was an injury that would affect his skills & make him vulnerable, Cotto & his team would do the fight in a snap!!!

[NW1]

The problem for Cotto and Canelo is who else is there to fight that makes them good money, that isn't each other?

There's no big draws at 154 or 160 except themselves. Who is a big draw from 147 that can move up now Floyd is gone and Manny will be out of the game soon? nobody...

So actually GGG is probably the next biggest marketable fight out there for either guy.
