Where all the 97k trolls at now?

This doesn't change that. 97K was PPV.

Only 7k attendance for this fight though.

[The Problem Child]

The face of boxing and the greatest fighter of all time, period. Meanwhile Clenelo couldnt even pull 900k against COTTO lmfao. Gennady the A-side, PEDelo will have to get on his knees now to avenge the loss.

[HeadShots]

He's doing Deontay Wilder type numbers. But people say Wilder isn't known

Deontay fought a legit great contender and had a full length of promotion leading into the fight.


Still only got 1.1

Confused, is that 1.2m PPV buys?

97K was alleged PPV, by an unnamed source.

97k was 150k, as a matter of fact,.

The announced attendance for Golovkin-Martirosyan was 7,837. The announced attendance for Garcia-Velez was 6,625. In several sections, there were rows upon rows of empty seats for both cards. I think the maximum capacity for boxing at StubHub Center is roughly 9,300.

They were giving tickets away for free and still couldn't fill a 9k arena.

On a network with far fewer subs. These numbers are within range of previous GGG HBO Championship boxing fights so the lack of promotion time didnt hurt it.

[IMDAZED]

No need to hate, GGG brought the TV crowd in impressive fashion. That may be the last we see of him on regular TV. I’m not sure HBO will get him on the cheap like that again.

[Boksfan]

So over a million is a good number for Murica?
