He has NO fanbase that have Kazakh ancestry in the States like a Mexican dude would.
He doesn't really speak English well.
He isn't the most outspoken/braggadocios kind of person.
His promoter isn't helping his case ALL the way either. I think they are really neglecting the internet, like most Boxing promoters do. We should be seeing some epic pre-fight footage in terms of highlight reels from him made properly from someone like Gorilla Productions. We should be seeing a proper run-up to fight night YouTube series made professionally. We should be seeing some regularly activity through his YouTube like him showing his house, his family, talk about his story for the casuals. He should start a mini-series on how to throw punches like a technique sort of series.

It boggles my mind why Boxing promoters aren't doing these sorts of things to promote their fighter and then expect huge numbers. Who the hell watches TV anymore? Everything that is popular nowadays is geared towards the Youth, so why are they using platforms that the older people frequent more than New Media?

Golovkin fans going to come in and add the replay viewing figures to the number.

Replay was 700 something. Meaning many fans dropped off after the Chocalitio fight ended and didn't stick around for the replay of GGG.

Source? What type of PPV system does the UK have where numbers are coming back in two days?

Only 843k viewers for GGG. Far less then Fury vs klitschko which aired mid day in the US last year. Which drew 1.038m viewers. And is actually less viewers then GGG's last afternoon broadcast, fight with Murray drew 862k.

Eddie Hearn said it, he said it done better numbers than Joshua vs Whyte and it's broken 500k.

Boxing on Sky is run by Hearn, it wouldn't be very difficult for him to access this kind of info

Meh... I didn't watch it live I was away in Connecticut all weekend. But I planned on boycotting that crap anyway.

Are you still butthurt because your hero vacated his belt to avoid Golovkin? He would've taken a knee during the ring walk and crapped his trunks.

Anyway, Golovkin is not a huge draw, we already knew this.
