So Glaser says GGG got 97,000 buys? He better start cutting carbs

If you don't think manny/floyd had an adverse effect on the casual fans, then you are wrong..
97k is beyond crap for a PPv.. Even mosely-mora and hopkins-dawson did more than that, and this was by far a better card..

I'm not trying to spin it for ggg,, it appears to be a giant flop, but I do think casuals just don't give a **** anymore after floyd/manny...

Know why? Cuz Mosley and Hopkins are known names who had already been involved in bigger fights against A-list opposition. Unlike Golovkin. Also, odds didn't reflect any fight on this card being competitive (in spite of what a bunch of delusional people said on this site). So you have a card without a star but with uncompetitive matchups. This is what you get.

The first two fights on the undercard were sad mismatches.

In fact, all four fights had a predictable outcome, although the two main events were between top 10 boxers in their respective divisions.

If it would have been Ortiz vs. a top 25 heavyweight, and Johnson vs. someone good (like Monroe Jr, Magomedov, or Eubank Jr) the PPV would have done better.

It was a great card, but it did not belong anywhere near PPV. GGG is a very popular fighter, but because of greed in this sport, nobody got to see him to allow him to grow further. PPVs were at one time to be used to get 2 great fighters to meet in the ring. That was OK. Now they try to use it for any popular fighter, and it does nothing but push fans away.

mosley and hopkins are well known fighters who fought against other big name fighters


Mosley fought Oscar, Margartio, Cotto, Foyd, Manny, and Canelo

Hopkins fought Trinidad, Oscar, Calzaghe and Roy.


who is the biggest name ggg fought?

[deanrw]

We, as fans, win here. I like GGG, but will not pay a premium to watch him on TV just because. If that PPV was a success, every fight he would have been beyond it would have been PPV.

If true and it only did 97k buys, then boxing is basically dead in America, and the floyd/manny fight killed it. Ever since that fight, PPv numbers have been way down (albeit a small sample size)..

No, nobody cares about Golovkin fighting mismatches for $60. Boxing isn't even a top 10 sport in America. To ask people to spend $60 on a boxing mismatch is just gauging the number of idiots residing in this country. Apparently 97,000 idiots reside in America.

Now if Cotto-Canelo does 97K, sound the alarms. With that said, I'm a diehard boxing fan, and I didn't even stream that PPV. I just didn't care, and by the numbers, barely anyone did. I didn't even stream Mayweather-Berto either, I made other plans that night. I barely have tolerance for mismatches of free TV, why would I pay $60 for one? I mean that is just the height of ******ity.

It's so bad, I couldn't tell you. I mean that's really all we need to know about his resume. Mind boggling.

Martin Murray, IMO.

I will be honest, it is somewhat amusing watching people die by the very same sword that they sharpened.

Nobody become a Superstar on 1 SATURDAY NIGHT! It takes many Saturday Nights to become a Superstar and the "A Side" in boxing. I guess some people have learned the HARD WAY!
