They weren't all good but he earned the right to fight cab drivers because he'd already fought beasts. What has Golovkin done to earn the right to fight Monroe Jr & Wade?

Beat every top ten contender and champion that was brave enough to get in the ring with him.

So basically, the same exact thing every other fighter has done.

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

bc they are ****ing former 140lb average fighters..and once again u have taken my argument and made it about ggg...im not worried with him.,im worried with hbo's direction...they dont sell competition unless they are willing to lose a guy..other than that they are selling storylines..the story line has you all consumed i can see bc u just tried to preach it to me: "EVERYONE IS AFRIAD"

everyone is a afraid of a lot of ppl in boxing but i dont see them having 2.5 million dollar budgets for mismatch unless the promoter is overpaying to drive out competition like haymon

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

i dont go to live fights and i dont want to..i love watching from home..i dont like cramped arenas full of drunks...

but paying for a fight doesnt make you a boxing fan no more than the man that has it on every time it comes on TV

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

For sure, I made the drive down for Monroe and the atmosphere was fantastic. I'm passing on this one though, just can't get excited about it

Can't stand a white boxer being popular eh? Too bad bro Golovkin is a star, Joshua is a star in the UK, his home country, when Golovkin fights at home you can make a comparison.

Golovkin earned 2 million vs Lemieux

Joshua earned 5 million vs Whyte

Joshua > Golovkin

Go back to your Klan rally, you racist bastard

Actually, a paying fan supports boxing more than the guy who gets excited for "free boxing on tv". But Im sure its because you care about the fighters financial state.
