Fight is extremely underwhelming but it's great to see public's interest in live fights. GGG selling on each coast.

But is GGG testing himself ?

Ward vs Dawson did 8500 and apparently lots of free tickets were given away. Just saying.

Loeffler likes to brag about how many tickets Golovkin fights sell. However, I have never heard him or anyone else tell the fans what the live gate is at these events. It doesn't matter if you sell 8,000 or even 16,000 tickets if you are selling them for the same price as the average cost of a high school football game.

He said 2m for Lemieux. And ticket pricing info is readily available

for fans to lay they like competitive fights and then to go out and buy 8k tickets of this mess...lol u ppl are the reason boxing is all jacked up tbh

but as a real fan i can sit hear and name nearly hundreds of fights that hbo passed on where the division is stacked just to invest in GGG mismatches..
i dont care about the ibf crap..if they belt org is doing a crap job u shouldnt want to be their champ..simple as that

You have never even been to a live fight. How can you question anyones "realness" as a boxing fan?

On ESPN LA yesterday, they were excited to hear about GGG fighting in LA again.

I paid over $150 for when he fought Rubio. Not sure what high school game costs that much.

not bitterness..it s the sport you love spitting in your face...and they will continue to do it as long as it makes money...roman and ggg vs sure fire wins...if that is exciting for you idk wat to say...i like competitive fights with or without blood..not mismatches that might produce blood..just tired of hbo selling me a storyline instead of competition...

So why didn't any of the previous middleweight champions make money with GGG?

[Vasyl’s dad]

I get called worse! I even RANKED the MW division

#1 GGG
#2 Canelo
#3 Cotto
#4 Jacobs

But still get called out. GGG passes the eye test and has skills but so did Broner before he moved up in weight and fought much better fighters! I don't think GGG has ever been less then a 18:1++ favorite. He needs to give up the mandatory chase and now go for GREATNESS or be happy never making the boxing Hall of fame. The MW is ran by him and EX-139 lbers.

How old was Bernard after he got tired of beating blown up welterweights and Allen and Echols five times? What was his age when he finally decided to chase greatness and move up?
