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

[MrRolltide91]

You asked why UFC gets away with PPV when boxing does not.

I gave you an example of why - because UFC gets a pass because they're UFC.

Thus why CM Punk can show up, get schooled and get paid too much on PPV for a terrible experience, yet someone like Adrien Broner can't get PPV to save his life. Because there's a bias towards UFC.

True.......

Other than the obvious and well documented budget cuts, HBO has hyped up and build Golovkin for 4 years now, maybe they want to make GGG a PPV regular. They're gonna have a hard time because Middleweight doesn't have good dance partners, and GGG himself is not exactly an A side guy. GGG also refuses to do anything that catches his detractors attention, like Khan fighting Canelo, or Brook fighting GGG, Ward fighting Kovalev. He won't fight Lara, who's been on PPV already, he won't go up to challenge himself. Jacobs is a good fight but it's not worth $60
