Comments Thread For: Golovkin-Brook Did 843K Live Viewers; 833K For Chocolatito' Fight

Casuals are smarter than promoters think. Contrary to what many believe it's not the name alone that sells but a combination of the name + competitive matchup. If Floyd fought Golovkin's competition his whole career he would still be on regular HBO earning $1m a fight.

So he goes from 1.325M with Wade to 843K because he becomes so unpopular in a 4 month stretch that he loses 500K viewers?

I guess if he fights Jacobs that fight will just totally fail on all levels, right? Probably do less than 1M as well...

again... he's not AS popular as they put him out to be.

Reading comprehension is important.

so he does less than the murray fight, ggg isnt improving as a draw, neither his fanbase is growing at all, and he was supossed to be stealing canelos fans...
but, but him getting a vacated title from canelo made him a bigger star doe....

But he deserves 50/50 because he has belts! Canelo's star is falling. Forget about the fact that Canelo is about to put 40,000 in a Stadium in Dallas. Forget about the fact that Canelo has first pick of HBO dates. Forget about the fact that Canelo made the champ come to him while GGG had to travel as the champ. Forget all of those facts! Canelo's star is falling and GGG deserves 50/50!!!!

You can't be serious.You do not combine numbers unless you are tryng to artificially inflate GGG's numbers because they are lower then expected.

You should be ashamed.

It's not artificial inflation.

How do you explain that he lost 500K viewers in a 4 month stretch?

What's more likely?

a) The Time Slot

b) His popularity hitting an all time low and losing an unprecedented 500K viewers in a 4 month stretch

843k in the afternoon at 2:30, 5:30 pm is amazing. Wow the demographic is in full agony again. It was a UK fight you tools. UK viewership matters here. 90% of the promotion was in the UK for the UK.

Who except hardcore fans and people without a job are sitting at home at 2:30/5:30 pm and watches boxing in the afternoon? Most people i know still work at that time.

Kovalev is fighting Ward on PPV in Vegas (where GGG has never fought). The first 36 hours of their tickets being on sale has sold more than GGG's highest gate. And people are doubting he'd be a bigger star if he fought Ward? No wonder some of these people failed at promoting.

Reading comprehension is important.

'Not as popular' doesn't account for losing 500K viewers... He wasn't as popular as people thought against Wade and Monroe and both those did 1.3M. Now suddenly from April to Sept something so devastating happened to his career that he lost an unprecedented 500K viewers.

ggg deserves 50-50 and is 160 or no fight, even if canelo becomes the 154 champ... anyone from 154 to 168, but but they all have to come to 160 doe...
