Dan Rafael: On Golovkin vs Jacobs "Strong chance it will be on HBO PPV"

[Deletrious]

How is this a mismatch? DJ is one of the top guys at 160. I'd rather watch a fight for free than pay for it, but this is better matchmaking than below Smith or below Khan.

Wow I didn't realise Lemiuex had that big a following prepared to follow him, I knew he was ppv in Canada I guess that's why GGG and his handlers were so desperate to face him.

GGG could never do those numbers on his own against the usual fodder he faces not that Lemiuex isn't fodder the Canadians just back their men, they even call a sex offender Superman, stay classy Canada.

The crowd at that fight was overwhelmingly pro GGG. And I read that it broke the MSG record for merchandise sales - hats, T shirts, etc, - mostly GGG merchandise.

Are you the proud owner of a GGG cap ?

Doesn't matter where I'm watching it live

pbc fanboys and their free handout boxing. real men buy their boxing. this is an elite club. only 97k people are invited

same here fellas can't stand watching fights in replay

I really want to see this fight. I dont want to pay the PPV price for it but I guess I have no choice.

Good fight. If they put it on PPV,its an embarassment

[al-Xander]

You can't complain that it's on PPV when you're one of those people who justifies Jacobs' demand of $3 million, then cite GGG's abysmal PPV numbers. GGG himself hasn't tasted getting $3 mil in any HBO fight in the US.

No. But I've ordered a Gennady Golovkin female fit T shirt for Xmas and I can't wait to get on top of her while she's wearing it!

WTF.

You telling me your sexual orientation is straight now ? I assumed with you being a sailor and the GGG obsession you were definitely a f@g.

If you're telling me youve bought it for your daughter I'm not only gonna be upset I'm gonna fall out with you.

I'm sure we would all prefer every fight be free as opposed to ppv, but people saying this shouldn't be a ppv because it's a mismatch are nuts. Daniel Jacobs is the next best 160 after GGG. Some would say Canelo, but I'd like to see him fight against a 160 at 160 and see if his power carries before agreeing with that.

#1 v. #2 or#3 depending on your preference is not a mismatch.
