Does GGG need PBC/Al Haymon for more exposure?

[kafkod]

simple as that... do ya think he needs it? Especially after all the hyping up ya gggroupies where giving him. He sells arenas, he gets the most views, etc.



f^ck that all of a sudden he needs more exposure

just like his ppv numbers showed... he aint sh^t. that's why he only faced like 3 undefeated fighters his whole career. Everyone has to move to his beat, but then ggg makes no sacrifices.

Yep, GGG ain't **** ... that's why Cotto shelled out $850k to avoid fighting him and Canelo ran away and left the WBC belt behind when his turn came.

I think GGG would do very well on non HBO. I don't think he needs PBC because he gets a lot of push from HBO with support from ESPN.

He just may not be as popular as some of his diehard fans think.

that chart shows clearly that canelo draws more attention than ggg on fight weekend, of course the last stats only show gggs fight weekend since canelos is next week, but the difference is a lot, i expected ggg to be at least at half...

Right, but your statement was that no matter what they do, Golovkin's drawing power is not increasing. I used that chart and purses to show you that you're wrong.

Yes, Canelo is definitely more popular - which is obvious to everyone. That gap has been shrinking in the last 2 years. We'll see how Canelo-Smith does on fight night.

Why would ggg be at least half?? That's insane. Canelo's Mexican, appeared on 4 PPVs already and one of those was a Floyd PPV. Golovkin shouldn't anywhere close to that.

ggg and some of his fans claim the purse split should be 50-50, so go figure, some even have the nerve to say that he is as popular if not bigger than canelo...
but again the numbers that really matter are the ratings , and ggg did less than in the murray fight, which is the last of his fights you can truly compare... the guy is supossed to increase his numbers, not to go down, he cant sell ppvs here in the usa and even after all the time and money invested by hbo can even increase his ratings as a network fighter... if only all those keyboard warriors will tune and buy his fights...

No GGG is fine and I think K2 is doing a great job given the limitations. Could he be a bigger star with PBC or just a more powerful promoter like Bob Arum, yeah he could but those promoters have other fighters to build up while with K2 GGG is 1 PRIORITY so no I don't think he needs to make a jump or anything but what he should do is get out of that HBO Exclusive Deal, that **** deal could keep bigger fights from happening with a Jacobs or Ievgen Khytrov or Sergiy Derevyanchenko or Maciej Sulecki just because of HBO because they're with Haymon so I think keeping his options open as far as having Networks BID for his fights like they use to do would = MORE MONEY instead of giving it to HBO and having them dictate everything and have influence on who you fight

[Jewish-Reptile]

Whilst I can see a point Jav didn't GGG do 850k views ? That's exposure, sure it could've been better but it ain't bad by any stretch.

[Eff Pandas]

He should just fight on whatever network on a fight by fight basis. Free market *****es.

This is a moderate risk, high reward thing to do, but I'm surprised more guys with a name & following don't attempt it. In particular right now when their seems to be some competition for who's gonna be putting on elite level boxing moving forward. A name guy could flip all over the main boxing TV channels options right now & maximize his pay + increase his fanbase with new networks to increase his pay even more moving forward.

He just needs better opposition. If he can't get Jacobs,Saunders, or Canelo by next year it's time to move up and I'm a Golovkin fan.

The extended length of the bout stayed with the home audience, as the Feb. 21 late afternoon special edition of HBO World Championship Boxing generated 862,000 viewers. The event peaked at 938,000 home viewers, and—combined with its exclusive prime-time rebroadcast later that evening—was watched by 1.433 million homes.

oh like the reply that ggg gave when asked about ward?

was GGG fighting at 168 lbs? let alone holding the lineal title at 168 lbs? say what you want but cotto's fans can't say shit about GGG when the guy c****d his pants at the sole idea of having to answer a simple question.
