How Popular Is Golovkin? Forget PPVs, Let's not Troll, How Popular Is He?

[Jsmooth9876]

Even if you take away all the semi-retired guys, Golovkin is still nowhere near their name level..

He may be top 5 current guys, but that's just how far boxing has fallen.. A decade ago guys that were the 5-10 biggest draws were much bigger than ggg is today

Well let's not forget GGG just broke on the scene here about 3 years ago. Those guys have been around 10+ years having big fights on HBO etc..

Canelo is Mexican and is good, and as we've seen you don't even have to be that good when you're Mexican and you'll have fans and sell like Chavez Jr. Showed...

He has sold out both coasts and a fight in the UK...that's impressive. I think he's behind Canelo only now...

One of the ways to measure..
Edit - damn scripts don't work :-/

Here's a LINK

Perfect, and best answer. Truly //End of Thread.

To sum the link, according to Google searches Canelo is number one Cotto a close number two and GGG is number three. Ward and Kovalev barely register.

He is one of the most popular current boxers obviously

No alts and I'm anti race baiting, I've repeatedly said mods need to do better here on NSB. Half at least of the anti-GGG crowd on NSB are all race baiters as it is. If people want to crack jokes in the longue or whatever, that's cool, but it's specifically against the NSB forum rules.

You obviously do have a weird obsession with Golovkin. Whatever it is, you guys spend more time on here talking about Golovkin than his actual fans do, which is bizarre to me. If I don't like a fighter for whatever reason, I don't spend the majority of my time talking them. Nor do I make videos of a fighter i dislike getting punched in like their 5th pro fight and say "look at so and so getting rocked, almost KOd by a bum!" or inventing topics on NSB that literally no Golovkin fan has ever said just so you can dispute it. It's a mindset I don't understand, but whatever, if you find enjoyment out of it then by all means, obviously the mods aren't going to stop it.

Lil'G jab - great
Lil'G range control - great
Lil'G defense - good
Lil'G power - great
Lil'G offensive hunting - great
Lil'G's resume - weak
Lil'G & K2 + Abel - weak
Lil'G & HBO - pathetic propaganda
Lil'G & Kellerman - weak "the world wants nelo" (never challenges Lil'G with a North question)

It's ok NATAS. In three years time Lil'G will be gassed out. I'll continue enjoying all types of boxers. You'll remember these forum years too! Don't get sensitive to criticism. it's only a computer monitor

I voted he is in the top 10. On this board he is the most unpopular with guys like yourself. However you actual called him by his right name instead of lil g. See how easy it is to not call him lil G for a change.

[Zaryu]

Hard to say, the "casuals" I know only know about Mayweather, Pacquiao and Canelo. I think in general, people don't know about him.

[al-Xander]

Very popular to the demographic. In a negative way though.

[Ce1ska]

I'm not too sure, I think it's like this: Active fighters in the world:

Top 15 spots

Pacquiao
Canelo (Big seller via Mexican fanbase)
Cotto
(JMM?)
Joshua (biggest seller in England)
DSG
Bradley
GGG
Tied: Ward, Kovalev, Wilder, Wlad, Fury, Thurman
Tied: Haye, Broner
Tied: Brook, Khan
Tied: Porter, Lara, Crawford

Things will start changing up after November, and since GGG is getting exposed as someone who doesn;t take challenges, he will drop in popularity

Lol Ward is probably at the bottom of that list. I'm sure his stock will rise after this fight but unless you're really into boxing Ward is a complete random.

[Luilun]

He generates enough Black hate
