WHAT IF: GGG a PBC fighter
Collapse

The media narrative would be changed. Instead of guys being accused of ducking him the media would say Haymon gives him easy fights. Or he's an over protected bum. Broner was lambasted for turning down $4mil against Pacquiao but $10 mil for GGG vs Canelo is considered a low ball. The Broner vs Pacquiao fight would sell more PPV's than Canelo vs. GGG.Last edited by Motorcity Cobra; 10-16-2016, 10:25 AM.Comment

One, he'd be loved by the Haymon/Ellerbe/Floyd fanboys. Two, Lara and other PBC clowns would stop tweeting his name. Three, no he won't make more. Which PBC fighter is making or made more than $2 million in non super fights?Comment

You speak the truth about pbc fighters, but ggg will still be the killer
Thats kinda unrealistic though man, most of the pbc fighter who fights once a year are not draw amd uncharismatic
Free tv, best fighter at 160 and exciting KO artist!? Thats why Im thinking, it wouldnt be bad if jacobs and GGG fight at pbc, I really dont care who wins that purse bid lol just make the damn fightComment

Broner though is not as big as ggg, and I disagree about PacBronners outselling CaneloGGG, I say PacBro will do 500-600k and CaneloGGG does 1m+, I know you know it willThe media narrative would be changed.

Look at what Pac did against Bradley, a fight no one wanted to see. Pac consistently does 400k PPV. Broner has mainstream appeal from people who don't even follow boxing. For good or bad he's always on TMZ. Canelo brings in the Mexican fans. GGG brings in the hardcore fans. Both Broner and Pac have a casual following. Neither Canelo or GGG have casual appeal. Both have boring personalities. One doesn't speak English the other butchers the language. I'm not saying that to diss them. I'm saying that because you have to be able to communicate to the casual fans. In many people's eyes Broner vs Pac would be revenge for May vs Pac. That's why Arum called Broner before called anyone else. That fight would sell
Let me add something else to illustrate my point. Maidana got the Mayweather fight because he beat Broner. Floyd was able to sell that fight to the casual fans TWICE because Maidana beat BronerLast edited by Motorcity Cobra; 10-16-2016, 12:08 PM.Comment

Canelo/GGG vs Pac/Broner would be equally massive. Emphasis on "equally." As for the purse split determination, there's a difference between the two. Obviously, Alvarez is not as big of a star as Pac is. Also, beating Canelo is not as big as beating Pac. So it's a useless comparison.Comment
