Nobody knows who Golovkin is

[KingHippo]

I know what you meant. I was just poking fun at it.

True that neither those guys are superstars or house hold names

I'm pretty sure Canelo is a household name in Latin America. On the other hand, I doubt Golovkin is a household name anywhere in the world.

I know quite a few casuals who know about GGG.

No one knows who Andre Ward is though or Sergey Kovalev for that matter

The only person I met who knew who Golovkin was was a hardcore who also knew Spence, Beterbiev, etc...

Bottom line is that Golovkin may have a growing following worldwide, but if he was the "face of boxing" as some people claim here, he would be known in the biggest market in the world, even to the most remote casual fans.

All these things matter in negotiations.

Nobody knows who he is, yet you clowns want him to offer Lara $4 million. You now see how ****** that is?

[Madison Boxing]

Well the UK public knew him before Brook, overwhelmingly voted him as best fighter on the planet on sky sports. He's very well known here

That's the second time someone mentions Lara. Is this a Lara thread?

I don't know about 4 million, but I remember talks about "career high paydays" though.

Consistency is the key to ever getting credibility in these forums. You say one thing in one, then completely trash it in another will just make you look ******.

You say he's not popular, thus no huge money to generate, yet you want him to offer Jacobs more than what he deserves. That's just stoooopid. Where will the money come from?
