      hbo is garbage these days. not sure how else he can get on ppv, but i don't expect golovkin to fight for 2 million bucks on hbo again. if they can even still afford to pay that. let HBO die if it really wants to die.

          He's done well to build something in New York over 6 fights, and in California over 4 fights, but even then he has to dance around with staging and gimmicks (an Olympian and freaking medalist pretending to be Mexican is some of the saddest **** I've ever seen).

          Short notice or not, Golovkin went from possibly getting $15m-$20m as Canelo's B-side to maybe putting 7000 people into StubHub to watch him fight Vanes.
          I’m sorry but this whole post is just hate filled garbage that ignores the facts

          Short notice or not , They did 7k on 2 Weeks notice against non-name opponent that no one wanted to see and I think it still broke The stubhub gate record. Yeah what a failure are you for real and he still gets the rematch $ you claim he lost out on with a higher % then originally agreed upon , chalk that up as a huge L for Gennady I guess

          You think it’s sad that a boxer and his team decided to market themselves and be embraced by the largest boxing fanbase because he offers a fan friendly style . A fanbase That supports l. Are you f.ucking for real. I wasn’t aware he was claiming to be Mexican and forgot his roots , my bad I guess that robe he walks in with is a Sinaloa specialty( did you get all up in your feeling when Mayweather walked out with a sombrero) . Hating on a f.ighter because he decided to market himself outside of the 5000 Kazak boxing fans in the States and become a draw , what a dummy

          I think it’s sad when P4P talent can’t draw flies To sh.it and if they’re lucky have some support in their hometown and have the personality of cardboard and no one outside of the hatdcores care if they fight. , why knock a guy trying to build his brand. I think Broner acts like a f.ucking c.oon who goes out his way to be a modern day minstrel show character, but at least he markets himself and get people outside of boxing interested in his fights. And suprise suprise he one of the biggest draws in the sport

          Outside of Canelo who is Vegas catering too. In the last 3 years with the exception of Canelo what active boxers sold more PPVs in the States . In the last 3 years what fighters have sold more tickets then Gennady. In the last 3 years how many fighters get higher ratings then Gennady

          He’s near the top of the list for all those questions but I guess you’re right he’s not a draw

              There's plenty of fighters who are not signed that can be on HBO but of course I meant scramble to keep GGG.

                    If GGG beats Canelo, what's really left on HBO to extend him another 2-3 fights outside of one more Canelo fight?

                    He might as well become a free agent.

                      What fighters. HBO works with fighters who have promoters. What promoter without a deal has a stable ready to go?
