GGG is the New Mayweather

[Luilun]

He has taken Floyd's place as the most hated and the most talked about man in boxing. A boxer's number of haters almost always correlates with his skill and popularity. This can't be disputed.

At least GGG gets Ko's and doesn't compete with Ambiean as Floyd did

[OnePunch]

It doesnt pay to be hated by the poorest demographic. Golovkin would be the next mayweather in terms of revenue if he found a way to make the general public hate him enough to want to see him lose.

EXACTLY. The people here that hate him are either too broke or too cheap (pm me a link plz!!!)) to buy a ppv or a fight ticket........

[Derranged]

Shit resume and 97k buys say he's not.

You missed the point of the thread. Try again.

Floyd was hated on by the media.

GGG gets a pass from the media.

Show me ONE negative article about Golovkin.

GGG's so called haters are all on boxing forums,and they are a small number.

The people that like him must be broke and cheap too because his PPV flopped and did only 97k buys.

...yet GGG and his KO's aren't getting him the revenue and success as Mayweather.

Floyd fought in tough division and moved up to fight bigger guys.
KO's aren't easy to come by in competitive divisions.

I'd say Canelo is closer to that #1 most hated spot tbh. GGG has a handful of critics that reside in forums. GGG's really a media darling, something Floyd has never been.

Just over 150,000 buys genius:

or if he stopped waiting for people to gain weight to fight him.

Are you saying sanders canelo cotto martinez jacobs and qullien didng avoid GGG??

Obviously fighters want ez fights for a lot of money in todays era, but they still avoided him
While campaigning in his weight class..

Id like to see julian williams or poo poo andrade fight him.

The media hates on sports figures for reasons outside of the sport itself. They are hated for what they say/do. The media used to love Manny but then he took the 'wrong' side on a social issue and now they hate him.

GGG doesn't get in to trouble or violate socially ******* media norms and so he gets a 'pass'. That's all it is.
