    Why doesn't GGG talk in Russian?

    Watching him being interviewed is kinda painful, it seems like he wants to say a lot but can't put it together. Also Kovalev and Lomachenko speak English so much better.

        It is also commie mentality, do not talk about things you're not good at

          Yeah man he just always talks about the same **** over and over again to different questions

          "This is Boxing" "Big Drama Show" "Real fight"

          I'd prefer him just talking in Russian with a translator

            Maybe cause he’s being interviewed by English reporters? He’s trying to be professional unlike canelo who speaks English just as bad but doesnt want to try to apeal to the american fan cause he’s full of himself.

              Come on man, that's not all that he says. There's also "Thankyou to mai fans" and "I am happy".

                It works. Those dumb catchphrases he keeps repeating actually did help to market him in the US. It's annoying for fans like us who actually want to know what he thinks, but for marketing purposes silly english phrases are great.

                I always felt the same about Pacquaio. He never said jack**** worth listening to in english but the rare interview you saw with him in tagalog would tell you a lot more.

                  Kovalev speaks better English than GGG, Lomachenko doesn't though.

                    The way he speaks and what he says is just a marketing choice, it works better for his promotion
