GGG vs Brook. Who was the PPV draw?

[robertzimmerman]

How many UK PPV buys did Golovkin do before the Brook fight?

The U.K. fans don't pay for PPV's outside of their country, with the exception of Floyd-Manny.

The fights are available on Sky Sports and BoxNation.

In the UK, Brook. That's his market.

Canelo would be the draw against Floyd in Mexico.

Kell wasn't the draw in the GG fight.

[robertzimmerman]

You said "brook needed ggg" to be on ppv. if that's true then why is the spence fight gonna be ppv? Jesus christ

Brook-Spence could never be a PPV on it's own.

For that to be a PPV, it would have to feature AJ or a stacked card with title shots/defences.

[robertzimmerman]

Both guys played a part in the success of that PPV, so I guess you can't say one guy is solely responsible for the numbers.

The key thing is this though, without Brook there would be no PPV but a PPV was possible without Golovkin had the Vargas fight not fallen apart.

Because of that it doesn't make sense for Golovkin fans to use those numbers as bragging rights for Golovkin... the same way it doesn't make sense for a Canelo fan to use the 2.2 million against Mayweather for his bragging rights.

That's not true at all.

Brook was a last minute replacement for Eubank, and he was given the exact same terms. Both guys walked away with around $5m.

The Eubank fight was also going to be on PPV, and it would have been just as big, if not bigger.

The Brook-Vargas PPV would have been a part of Fury's rematch with Wlad. So it would have been a Fury-Wlad PPV with Brook on the undercard.

A Brook-Vargas PPV wouldn't have sold anything. Matchroom wouldn't even have attempted it.

[robertzimmerman]

the fight itself was the draw but the headliner was Brook and ggg was the oppenent in terms of a side b side.

Brook wasn't the headliner.

GG was the headliner and Brook was a last minute replacement for Eubank.

[KillaCamNZ]

Why would Brook be considered the drawcard, when he had never drawn a dime before the GGG fight?

People watched to see GGG, not Brook.

[Raonic]

Kell wasn't the draw in the GG fight.

I think Brook sells more PPV buys in the UK than GGG does.

I think Brook sells more PPV buys in the UK than GGG does.

GG has only fought once in the U.K.

His other fights have been available without having to purchase PPV.

So yes, Brook has obviously been involved in more U.K. PPV's. But that doesn't tell the whole story.


If GG was to come back to the U.K. to fight Eubank on PPV, and Spence was to come over and fight Brook on PPV, GG's fight would obliterate it in terms of revenue.

I think only a fight with Khan in the U.K. could replicate or surpass the figures he made with GG.

All those are against British fighters, which would be the draw. If Golovkin fought Jacobs in the UK how well would it do?

[FinitoxDinamita]

Neither.. neither can draw on their own but them fighting each other made it possible on ppv.
