Comments Thread For: Loeffler Confirms Golovkin-Jacobs Did About 170K PPV Buys

Thats that they SHOULD of done. But GGGTards would still blame Oscar if GGG didn't like it. *** it could be for a BILLION $$$ and if he didn't like it they would still Bi@tch about it.

FYI $7 million plus 20% probably would be less than $15,000,000 after the networks and taxes take their cuts.

My whole point is that ggg is going to make less than the $15 million offered. It's sucks that Oscar wants to do this to him. Not even Floyd was that big of a ***

horrible compared to what? GGG vs an opponent the HBO audience didn't know sold more PPVs than kovalev-ward, which HBO spent a year straight building up.

would canelo have sold more against jacobs? sure. canelo probably would have sold 275-300k tops.

nobody is dis*****g that canelo is a bigger star than GGG. but GGG is still one of the biggest stars in the sport. in terms of active fighters, only pacquiao, canelo & cotto are bigger PPV draws.

pretty solid analysis.......

[OnePunch]

You think your some big shot promotor. After seeing these PPV numbers would you still turn down that $15,000,000???Considering that Canelo could probably fight Charlo, Saunders, and Lemuix all for under that???

I have maintained all along that I do not believe it was a clean offer. So the number itself is irrelevant.......

We both agree on that.

If it was $15,000,000,000 GGG still would turn it down.

GGG would have to currently fight like 6 times to get that much. Even if he fought 4 times a year it would still take him over a year to make.

Why doesn't he just take the $15,000,000 and have his JORDAN brand chip in a the rest? That's got to be worth something??? Over 1 million PPV viewers, a sold out arena, and GGG doing the advertising for Jordan Brand??? You would think that would be worth $15 million alone???

No way it does 1 million ppv buys....I'd be surprised it it was anywhere over 700k

Really??? Maybe your right? So that would be even less than ConChavez is going to do then.

What do you think was not "clean" about it??? IYO do you think the Chavez contract would of been better??? Someone even stated earlier thats they don't even think Canelo/GGG does 1 million buys and more like 700K??? Which would be less buys than Chavez/Canelo is going to do. For a fraction of the price to pay Chavez.

[The plunger man]

I hear you man. But it's kind of hard not to take GGG's side serious if they turn down $15,000,000. GGG just got paid like $2.5 million for Jacobs. Who else is making $15 million??? Pac?? Klitz?? Maybe Cotto?? And Mayweather. Ward got $5 million to fight Kov. Kovalov like $2.

I want to see the best vs. the best as you do. And we will NEVER see a cent of it.

By the way who you got in the rematch between Ward and Kovalov??? It's pretty my much a done deal. Kovalov just sent over the signed paperwork and waiting on rocnation's signature.

Ill answer your two questions m8.....as a proffesional boxer there main aim is to become a world champion and thats a fighters goal for turning pro....its irrelevent whether its tyson or canelo...yes goldenboy has said theres a 15 million offer on the table but we can't really take oscars word as gospel seeing how they backtracked on there proposed september fight last year....a split is fairer in my opinion and hears why...canelos last two fights he did 500k and 275k ....yes he has made bigger ppvs than golovkin but there far from huge...if canelo makes big numbers in his next fight against chavez i will agree with you on the 15 million and golovkin should take it..but if he don't and golovkin and him go on to sell 1.5 and golovkin just gets a flat fee its golovkin who has helped bring in those high numbers as well and he should be rewarded for it.....bro i dont know what to think to be honest and i just want them to sort it out and fight thats my true opinion ...and it makes no difference to me or you what agrrement they make on the fight we wont see a one cent of it ....we just wanna see it ..as for ward and kovalev...i have alot of respect for andre ward because he moved up and defeated a very dangerous figter in kovalev...the rematch ...I think kovalev will win the rematch and set up a third fight...it all depends if kovalev has learned from the first fight and keeps using his jab and keeps ward from frustrating him when up close.
I think kovalev will want to prove a point m8 in this one

They're not good, but in the context with the recent ppv market, it's not that bad either. It's a sad state of affairs when the top 2 p4p fighters in the sport barely break 150k. That was a ppv caliber fight and barely anyone bought it.

Top 2 p4p fighters do not mean they are PPV stars. The two are boring fighters. Chocolatito and GGG are overrated. The two are one-dimensional.

That pretty ****ty ppv boxing in America is dead!
