Wouldn't that help him become a star at a faster rate than if he fought only on PPV & HBO?

Imagine the ratings he would do on HBO if he fought on NBC, FOX, and ESPN before going back to HBO.

networks and promoters are too greedy to do something like that

would help boxing out as a whole if our best fighters fought on regular tv now and then.....look at mma

PBC has tried this.

And it has completely failed or have you not noticed Showtimes ratings?

None of the PBC guys who went back on Showtime had improved ratings. Matter of fact almost all of them have had plummoting ratings.

It just doesn't work like that. You can't just throw fighters on network tv and expect people to suddenly give a crap about them.

So you're saying that it's best if GGG did NOT fight in front of 4 million viewers?

Gotcha LOL

So.. he should betray HBO, who has invested 4 years into him and gave him an opportunity and put him on PPV, in order to go on PBC, who pay less than than HBO, and have absolutely no 'popular' fighters.

If Canelo was a man, he clearly is on the Caitlyn Jenner path, and would fight Gennady, Gennady will be averaging 5 million views on average after he KILLS Canelo.

Well It hasn't helped any of the PBC guys.

Wilder, Cruz, Jacobs, Quillin. All guys who headlined PBC on network tv.

All of there Showtime ratings have gone down.

There is a reason television shows are on the same time and same channel. It's called consistency. Something none of the Showtime or PBC guys have which is why Showtimes ratings plummeted.

In general, no, PBC pays more money for **** matches.

For Golovkin specifically, which is who you're talking about, he would get less. I know you're allergic to facts and have no sources for any of your crap, but here are some PBC purses:

While Golvokin made 1.5m and 2m+ from his last matches.

Oh... so you're saying it wouldn't be good for Golovkin to fight in front of 4 million viewers rather than less than 1.4 million viewers?
