Comments Thread For: Arum Wants Golovkin On ESPN; Open To Golden Boy/Canelo Deal

[champion4ever]

This would be a very good fit and move for Golovkin; Fighting on either ESPN or the PBC. He can still keep his high American profile and publicity while still fighting on non Pay per view television.

On the other hand, It would be a very bad move for him to go into virtual obscurity, while fighting over the internet on some online streaming service called DAZN, where he will become very hard to find among the casual fans.

Ah forgot about that. Hmm, they might be willing to pay him for the boost in subs?

Either way, we know Showtime will give him the heavy bag lol

canelo is makin like 30 mil a fight. Has to fight on ppv. Even his weaker opponents he will make 15-20 mil

C’mon Johnny, do a little research before you post such nonsense. The amount of revenue they generate is not even close. Go look at how many homes both are in and then do the math on how much ESPN gets from the cable and satellite companies PER SUBSCRIBER them compare that to how many subs Showtime has and what they get for each.

ESPN is free in most homes with a basic cable subscription showtime is not free at all to get they channels so there is your answer

Espn isn’t free wtf? It’s an extra charge in your cable. Costs like $9 a month in your cable bill multiply that times over 100 million households.

Now u see who is bigger

Canelo would be a fool not to go to ESPN or Showtime. Then again, his boss is an idiot.

Loeffler and Sanchez had been talking about GGG fighting Murata so maybe he'll go to ESPN to make that fight.

those are his only two real options

[The plunger man]

If canelo signs with showtime , he will have to mix it with the new hungry lions with haymon so don't expect an easy ride.
They also might want to pick better fighters for him than that lemon lemuiex seeing as there be the ones broadcasting it.
Things are gonna turn interesting now.

ESPN doesnt make the same money Showtime does.

You have any real proof of this? Sounds ******ed to me but im open to proof. No arguments or this n thats...just a proof link

Just because it’s not a premium channel for the subscribers does not mean that it’s free. The per subscriber cost that the cable and satellite providers have to pay Disney to carry ESPN is by far the highest price of any cable channel and has been for years. It’s one of the reasons cable and satellite TV is so expensive
