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

[texasboi15]

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 dumb fck he fought Kirkland at 154 last May

You fckin idiot

[Bandman]

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.

canelo can fight his brother on PPV and it cracks 250K easy. little g is NOT a draw!

all that effort they put in force feeding him to casuals, only to pull 97K..pathetic, i guess casuals are not as dumb as we thought.

i remember the golovtards celebrating his apple commercial like woooo hes a star now LMAO!

lemeiux was the attraction in that fight.

boxing is a BUSINESS! ! golovkin is high risk crap reward. thats the excuse they used to dismiss ward and guess what, the golovtards loved it!!

But people are starting to know GGG, even if they weren't willing to put their hands in their pockets for a PPV right now.

But put him against Canelo and i'll bet it'll do better numbers than Canelo will do against anybody else, aside from Cotto.

It's marketable, even if GGG has no history of good PPV numbers, all it takes is the right fight to capture peoples imagination and this is one.

Freddie Roach, trainer of WBC middleweight champion Miguel Cotto (40-4, 33 KOs), is not impressed with the pay-per-view numbers of IBF/IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (34-0, 31 KOs).

Wonder what kind of PPV numbers Geale, Trout, and Rodriguez pulled in to get their fights with Cotto?

If you scared, just say you scared.

Can't wait to watch Canelo squirm and try to talk his way out of fighting GGG in the post fight interview

Sounds like an excuse to me not to fight GGG. If Cotto is on a card it will do decent numbers, doesn't matter who he fights. We all know it's not going to do 2 or 3 million, but it does respectable numbers. He's the most well known Puerto Rican fighter out there today. Any way you cut it, everyone makes profit from the fight. Good PPV numbers, sold out if the fight happens in MSG, stock rises in both fighters, more money for all involved, it's a win.

[LA fight fan]

he would also need to raise his ppv #s for floyd

recommendation - fight ward in a match ppl will actually pay to see - maybe if its good it becomes a sequel or even trilogy ... then you will have ppv power

[Bring It On]

ya but u dont have to share much of the purse with them. u could make the same argument about ggg and ward. team ggg said ward is not big enough then they fight willy monroe i mean u guys cant have this **** both ways

The problem is that you assume that I think something that I don't. If Team GGG actually said that Ward wasn't a big enough draw, and that's why the fight doesn't happen, then that's ridiculous too and I would have no problem saying so.
