it all depends how you spell GGGs name.

[just the facts]

It's all irrelevant in the end - boxing doesn't really have a place in the mainstream. Figuring out the variable popularity levels with the minority is splitting hairs.

The majority of people on the street would have no idea who GGG and Canelo are.

This sucks but it's true. I think the majority of NSB posters have no idea how popular boxing was before the 90s and it seems to just be fading away.

I see and makes sense, agree on the last point, but still nice to see (for a fan) that GGG is getting more popular.

No one who is a real fan of the sport would try to claim that GGG is unpopular or doesn't deserve a percentage of the pie against Canelo. He's really not a world away from ginger kid in terms of popularity, that's for sure. I hope the Jacobs fight strengthens that point.

This pathetic.

Honestly I wouldn't put stock into any of this google search stuff, it's not like team GGG can bring out a print out of this graph to the negotiating table.

I just spit out some water.

agreed... personally it doesn't change my life one bit if GGG or Canelo make less for the fight but if they don't think what they get is fair the fight won't happen, for me i just want the good fights to happen.

A one month graph gives Golovkin an advantage because Canelo did not have any news until this past week while Golovkin's name has benefited from the Jacobs fight being announced.

lol.............

This is not a measure of popularity.

It is simply a measure of how many hits someone makes in the news plus how many searches done plus etc.

As expected, when news about a fighter is made, they will trend upwards.

That simple.

When the numbers from the Jacobs/Lil g fight get tallied, we will know how popular Golovkin is.

LMAO. GGG fanboys are just embarrassing themselves. This is up there with the idiots who argued on these boards that GGG was just as popluar as Canelo and Cotto and weeks before the Lemiuex fight were predicting 500K PPV sales because quote "There are more posts about GGG then those guys before their most recent fights" and posting Google search pie charts. Of course the GGG fight bombed doing less then 150k buys. Only an idiot thinks GGG is a popular as Canelo if you think that you in for another rude awakening when the Jacobs fight numbers come in.
