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

[AliBombaye]

Fine by me that it's on PPV, number 1 vs 2 guy in the division and it's 100% going to be a KO win for someone, plent of excitement, shouldn't be any wrestling and clinching unless Jacobs adopts that strategy.

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.

He sold out or just about sold out The Forum which holds 12,600 against Monroe. He sold out Stub Hub and holds the record for attendance against Rubio. You ask for a link showing attendance because you didn't believe the fight sold 20k, then you proceed to be a smart ass because your doubts were proven wrong, for something over a year ago that many people already know. He's obviously not the biggest seller in the sport but stop acting like he can't sell. Not many can do what he's doing in the sport right now.

The Forum holds about 17k depending on seating arrangements, but Golovkin sold 16,300 there vs a complete nobody in Wade.

Oh damn. I was just referencing the other two since I attended both. Didn't realize he sold so much against Wade.

Everyone remembers Roman being on his undercards. That's not what I'm getting at. Sure, you'd pay for Gonzalez alone, but for many of us, paying 60+ for one fight isn't cutting it anymore. Take UFC for example. They stack the **** out of their cards, with several fights having major significance for the division with a title at stake. A lot of fights on undercards tend to be a showcase fight of sorts in boxing nowadays. Now if Roman was facing Estrada, Inuoe, or someone like that, then I'm intrigued. Cuadras II seems fine though.

You make a valid point and for that reason i am trying to get myself into ufc. Boxing continually lets me down. The amount of ppv fights which have been foty in last 10yrs is VERY low (single digits).
You know the reason they don't stack the undercard? Its a cost that comes off the revenue of promotor and/or boxer. Greed and capatilism. Viva Fidel!!

Are you saying GGG can do 20k without a Canadian ppv star ?

12k is good for a Asian/Korean, Mongol or whatever he is. His handlers are right to avoid moving to 168 and were right to turn down Ward too, I don't blame them.

Well as Eastcoast just pointed out, he did 16,300 against ****ing Wade. That says a lot. And of course when you have nothing else to say, you go and talk about **** that's not even in discussion.

Fight won't happen if it's not on PPV. Jacobs wants too much money for a guy who his detractors admit is not even a PPV star. Yet they justify Jacob's greedy stance.
