Is gg more marketable than Canelo?

[Scary]

Outside of southamerica yes, but Canelo will eventually, and probably already is, a much bigger star than GGG will ever be.

i am sure we know more here than those who already conducted a marketing study. This place makes me laugh sometimes...

[xhiddenx87]

first of all, this is most probably another aldo thread where he can unloads all his hate... lol

secondly, it seems that everybody is getting the term "marketability" wrong here...

this is not from a boxing perspective only...its about demographics, personalities, etc....not only the A side or b side purses or PPV buys...


with all that said....I think Canelo could easily surpass GGG because of his age....but for now this ranking is making a point...you may like it or not...its just and opinion and to me is a non-boxing related..so I give 0 f... about it.

Canelo is more famous, he fought the bigger names...Mosely,PBF,Cotto. .GGG hasnt really fought any known/popular fighters.

No he is not. If he was he would of sold more then 150K PPVs. Canelo draws bigger crowds can fill baseball stadiums (see Trout and Kirkland), has better ticket sales (owns 3 of the top 30 highest live gates in NV history) when he fights on regular HBO basically doubles GGG tv ratings (see Kirkland fight 2.2m viewers), did 4X or more PPVs his last 2 fights then GGG, has bigger and better sponsors (tecate paying him a ton to make him the face of their brand). There is literally nothing that is in GGG's favor.

Canelo has youth on his side but Golovkin has a more marketable personality and fighting style. A KO artist has an advantage when it comes to marketability.

This sounds about right. Canelo may have a dull personality and he doesn't look great in every fight, but he is a Mexican and his career probably isn't even half way over. Lot of upside to Canelo. GGG is more charismatic and speaks English at least good enough. Also has a KO streak.
