And GGG had zero to do with it of course.

Of course not. They would rather keep calling him Mr. 97K to make themselves feel better.

[Real King Kong]

That gate and over 1 mil ppv buys...not bad at all.

[boliodogs]

Good. The fight deserved it. A very good fight between two of the best in the world. GGG should have won it but that is the fault of the judges. The fight and the performance of the two boxers was excellent in my opinion.

[IronDanHamza]

Impressive.

[JK1700]

That's really good. The rematch would do even better for sure.

It needs to happen.

[Squ□redCircle34]

Very good, the rematch will sell much better and likely be better!

Looking forward to the GGG WILL KO Canelo threads again and GGG won't take it easy this time threads!

I expect another boxing class in session by The Mexican maestro without no robbery maybe even a ref stoppage if Reynoso bros can figure a way to boost Canelo's stamina!

Those body shots showed a lot about GGG(that he's got a great poker face) and i think Canelo will stay on the inside more this time and go downstairs much more too!

It will certainly happen with those type of numbers.
