How popular is Ryota Murata in Japan?

[HeadShots]

If he's so popular he'd be headlining his own cards.

this village idiot should be banned for ******ity.

Wait, I mixed things up. It was Murata vs N'dam that had drawn 30 million and it was the main event.

Murata was the undercard of Higa in his last fight and Higa was the undercard of Murata in the N'dam vs Murata that had drawn 30 million views.

Wrong. Shiro-Guevara was the main event.

"The main event of the card will be another Japan Vs France bout as 2012 Olympic gold medal winner Ryota Murata (12-1, 9) battles WBA Middleweight champion Hassan N’Dam N’Jikam (36-2, 21) for the second time. This bout is a rematch from a contest in May, with N’Dam winning that bout on the same show as Higa and Ken Shiro won their titles, though comes with the caveat that Murata was robbed, in the eyes of many. In fact the French-Cameroonian was dropped once, hurt numerous times, and seemed to be the clear loser, before getting the shock decision in Japan. The decision was so bad that the WBA ordered a rematch almost instantly, and suspended two of the judges from officiating their bouts for 6 months."

"The fight is the main event of Akihiro Honda’s eight fight boxing card at Tokyo’s Kokugikan and the card also features two WBC world title fights in the light flyweight and flyweight divisions. Check out more details in this latest TBC report."

The N'dam main event drew well and I've heard his face is well known there and on all the subways. I think he would draw huge with GGG in Japan. Anyone who doesn't think that is a draw is ******. He had 30m people tune into the N'dam fight and N'dam isn't that known to Japanese or even Boxing fans in general. I think a GGG fight will attract more viewers even and a good gate.

Not sure what that's offensive to some.

Just stop man. If Golovkin doesn't fight Canelo/Saunders/Derevyanchenko next he's cherry picking. Murata isn't a top 6 MW.

[Larry the boss]

Now this guy who no one on has even talked about will be hyped up..this is sad as hell man

What has Murata done worth a damn man?? seriously

[Robbie Barrett]

Exactly what they're doing. Pathetic that they're trying to defend Golovkin being interested in fighting this guy that is a lower top 10 MW.
