Comments Thread For: Korobov on Golovkin: I've Waited a Long Time For This Shot

[UNBIASED BOXING]

375k vs Angulo gave canelo close to 9 million, plus similar earnings for the network, 325k was prob 7 mill, that's still a lot of money for both network and fighter... on the other hand as per K2 ggg needed 200k for his ppv to be successful and it failed... just because you were disappointed by the numbers doesn't mean it was not a success ...

The point was:

Dropping from 2+ million PPV buys in probably the most bought boxing fight of all time to arouind 325k~ buys is not really a good thing. Golovkin has never had as much exposure as Canelo did. 150k was a failure, but so was Canelo going to 325k~ buys after doing such a high exposure fight.


Money aside, they were both failures and steps backwards. Canelo should be bringing in 500k+ viewers when he has legitimate fights.

consider people are streaming more fights nowadays.

so the new ppv star canelo can only sell 350k while past guys like oscar, manny and froid sold in millions or near 800ks? Yup sounds like a real ppv star to me. Stick to supporting your fatass catchweight daddy until he finally mans up and fights guys his size instead of his planned fight with rosado haha

those guys you mentioned had similar numbers on his early ppvs just like canelo... did I said ppv star? I said ppv fighter... again one can carry a ppv the other cant... by the way, is that the same rosado ggg fought coming straight from 154 ??
it will be a joke if canelo fights him too, but we don't know yet...

lol there is no one in the horizon that could bring in 1mil ppvs with canelo. He's stuck with his mediocre ppv numbers and competition. I wouldnt be surprised if canelo fights him. What other options does he have for 155? I doubt he'll even fight GGG but he has fought people has doubted he would fight before

Canelo could fight a Cotto rematch, or Tim Bradley, or even Antonio Margarito and still do well on PPV. Some of the welters like Kell Brook and Amir Khan might be interested in moving up to face him. He has a lot of options.

Golovkin's choices are far more limited.

lol @ khan, brook and margarito. The bradley fight would be pointless and would get alot of negative feedback leading up to the fight. The cotto rematch if made wont do better numbers though
