Comments Thread For: Golovkin: I Look Forward To Headlining on Cinco De Mayo!

I'll let you into a secret.

This sport is all about money. Money determines what fights get made and don't. From the orgs rankings to the fighters voluntaries, all determined by money. So how much a fighter sells is very important.

Thanks for the inside info. When I choose to watch a fight, a movie, a concert, I could care less how many tickets are sold. If I want / or like to see something numbers dont influence my spending or viewing habits. You whine about and mock GGGs numbers like you have loaned him money in the past

Ima best pissed if spike gets the nod over Andrade or derevyenchenko... spike is a bum, Eubank absolutely schooled him

[landotter]

TOP 5 in each sanctioning body where GGG is champ:

IBF: 1)Derevyanchenko 2)Jacobs 3)Charlo 4) Alvarez 5)Andrade

WBA: 1)Alvarez 2)Jacobs 3)Andrade 4)Brant 5) Sulecki

WBC: 1)Charlo 2)Alvarez 3)Jacobs 4)Centeno 5)Andrade

Fighters busy in April/May: Jacobs, Charlo, Sulecki, Alvarez (suspension), Centeno,

GGG must do the right thing and fight Derevyanchenko or Andrade. Personally I think it should be Derevyanchenko because he is the Mando for the IBF. I'm not paying PPV for anything else and if it's Jamie Munguia I'm off the bandwagon.

Those are the best case scenario. A Jacobs rematch would be fine as he is in training for an April 28 match and Suleki could be enticed to step aside. I actually heard a rumor that 168 WBC Champ David Benavidez was a possibility for his title at Super MW.

Numbers do influence spending and viewing habits. When people see a PPV price tag for Golovkin-Osullivan most will be "fuck no, i'm not paying for that shit", yes i'm mocking Golovkin because he's the clown that going to have this **** on PPV, I mock his fans because they're clowns that support whatever he does.

I've always got to laugh at "fans" that root for small gates, poor viewing numbers and low sales unless it's their man crush fighting. It's like a lot of folks just want the sport to go away.

keep laughing man, you are gonna miss a lot of fights...some fans dont give AF about 'gates' 'ppv #s' 'instagram followers' we just like to watch boxing. Keep up with the kardashians instead man, they are doing great numbers.

Well ok. We see things differently. Lol. I understand what you are saying.

they could simply defer the fight until they have selected a top opponent

just like everyone else does

[WesternChamp]

I hope the fight does well. Unless there is a pivotal nba playoff game I might get this fight depending on who the opponent is.

I want the sport to do well even if that means supporting this fight. Can’t blame ggg that odh/Canelo did some foul shit.

cough garbage fight cough not watching cough.. ..

now its all bout supporting this sport! lol

even ray charles could see right thru this act

being a hater is such a waste of a life, have fun man

Hopefully, those fans that saw him with Alvarez in September will result in him being a better draw. He deserves a good fight and for fight fans to give him good numbers. He needs a real opponent, but this could still work.

May 5 is a good date without a ton of counter programming. It is an uphill battle, but there is potential here for Golovkin and his team to pull something nice out of all this trash. The opponent will be a big thing.

yep, but I see it a little differently.....

Golovkin only "deserves a good fight and for fight fans to give him good numbers"..... IF, he selects a good opponent

they could simply defer the fight until they find a suitable opponent
