Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Golovkin a Big Star? Why Does He Sell 100-200K on PPV?

[Tomjas]

Money makes things happen! Canelo equals money! Canelo has been eating very well without GGG, and he could eat nicely in the future too! Andrade looked average, but he wasn't the only one! GGG looked very average vs. Jacobs! Charlo is from Houston, so that's a no-brainer! Zurdo would jump at the chance to fight Canelo! What if Brook beats Spence Jr.? You don't think Brook wouldn't accept a Canelo fight? GGG needs to find his own path, and his team needs to find a way to make him a star without Canelo, or they must accept the flat fee!

He's doing fine without Canelo and will retire a wealthy man whether he fights him or not

Here's the problem with your theory. The only PPV Floyd did that grosses higher than Canelo is Manny. The only PPVs Cotto did that grossed more than Canelo is with Floyd and Manny. I honestly don't even remember Khan ever headlining a PPV prior to Canelo. And even Canleo's fights with guys like Lara, Angulo, and Smith are at least doubling what everyone else is doing. And outside of Lara, GGG has had supposedly intriguing matchups on his PPVs. Lemieux in a "unification" that GGG's fans think is the holy grail of boxing. And Jacobs in a #1 vs #2 in the division matchup. And both flopped. You had Crawford-Postol in a #1 vs #2 in the division matchup that did like 50K. And Crawford is P4P one of the best fighters in the world. And the ultimate shocker to me. A legitimate superfight in Ward-Kovalev only managed like 160K. That told me that PPV boxing as I once knew it is gone. So even in his shows that didn't sell, Canelo is killing the current market.

Sad to hear it but it's true.

well in the U.S. the most passionate and dedicated boxing fans are Hispanic (mainly Mexican and Puerto Rican). that's the only reason Canelo is the bigger "star".

if GGG was Mexican he would have a statue in that country already.

using PPV numbers to not make the fight is punk ****.

I guarantee that if GGG fights Zurdo at 168 on PPV his PPV numbers will skyrocket.

Floyd and Pacquiao didn't do **** on PPV until they faced a big Mexican star (Oscar).

that's the curse of being non-Hispanic boxer in the U.S.

this is why GGG wears Mexican sombreros, eats at Mexican restaurants and calls his style Mexican style.. all that to appeal to that market.

if Canelo was from Kazakhstan he wouldn't be doing **** on PPV.

any fan that supports this fight being stalled further over PPV numbers is not a fan of boxing but a groupie.

Your post is gotta be the ******est one I've ever read.... 😆
If little g was Mexican he be selling alot more PPVS.... Well if my grandma had a **** she'd be my grandpa.
If you was at least a little good looking you might have a chance of getting laid you dumb ****!
The fact is that Canelo is the biggest star in boxing and little g and all you dumb, ****ing nuttriders think he deserves as much as Canelo is ridiculous! Little g needs Canelo so if he wants the fight he better take what's offered to him. If not he can go back to fighting on regular HBO for 2 million a fight. That simple!

He only fought class B fighters. And all the supposed Class A ducked him like the plague.

Lineal duckers: Martines-Cotto-Canelo

Even Mayweather retired because he knew what the fans were asking more and more.

Fight GGG.

[iamboxing]

GGG's doing well considering Mexicans are the biggest boxing fans right now. No surprise Canelo gets more PPVs (also why GGG is learning Spanish).

[aboutfkntime]

He's going to

In Kazakhstan

so.....

* Golovkin cannot sell more than 180k PPV's
* a number of insiders are questioning his resume
* he may not even be the best middleweight

and his solution to that problem is.....

He's going to Kazakhstan

hmmm..... ???

[BigStomps]

When all the illegals are gone that's what Canelo will be doing also lol

And when your back in prison for ******ing little boys the world will be a much better and safer place!

Don't get emotional, I'm sure you'll be able to write letters to your friends and family born here. And Canelo is on for free there so think of all the welfare money you're saving not buying the PPV, you ignorant ****

[JASON SHAW]

so now your swinging off canelo's and oscar's nutts?? 😆
you sorry piece of shet!

no just telling the truth... Only you hang from oscars nuts... Thats your job

[BigStomps]

Canelo did 290k in his last fight and acts like he's Floyd or pac in the ppv market. Everyone knows that ppv sales depend on demand for a fight and right now there's no fight in boxing with a higher demand than Canelo vs ggg. Oscar is just coming up with another excuse to avoid the fight and canelos ****** fans will run with it as if they're the ones who are getting paid off the negotiations. I really hope Chavez Jr somehow wins and ruins life for Oscar and all of Canelo's mindless fanbase.

STFU you sorry child ******ing b itch! Your just a ******, sorry ass punk who likes to hate on anyone who's succeeded in life! It eats at you that Oscar and Canelo have made it and your still a ****ing loser living in your mommas basement and living off welfare! So go eat a **** and keep your mouth shut you piece of shet!
