Comments Thread For: Korobov: Golovkin Better Matchmaker Than Fighter; All Propaganda

[Kagami Taiga]

Golovkin may not have had any stern challenges this year, but he surpassed those other fighters in marketing. His show vs Wade had the highest HBO rating this year so far and drew over 16k fans. Even his fight vs Brook had higher ratings than Crawford replay vs Postol or Ward's fight vs Brand or Kovalev's fight vs Chilmeba, we'll see how it compares to the Ward/Kovalev replay. And growing his brand in Europe with the Brook fight is significant for making future fights there. GGG's year wasn't wasted.

Hmmmmm that's all fine and well but I honestly don't think it matters in the grand scheme. He's not a superstar, isn't close to being one and everyone's numbers are down across the board. So as a hardcore fan, all I care about are great fights. Golovkin didn't do that this year. He didn't even really have a good fight. Just saying.

Do you only watch HBO fighters? Couldn't help but notice how you ignored Thurman vs Porter and Frampton vs Santa Cruz.

I did say I could keep going. Lol. I didn't want to be there all day. All great fights. PBC led the way early in the year, HBO came on strong towards the end.

Business Model is correct bit like Adonis Stevenson and Billy Joe Saunders hold world titles captive likes theif and wanting for highest bidder so you can collect. if you have a title you can do this otherwise you are like a girl who turns 30 jump into bid with anybody so long as you get married at the end of the day

Damn, Korobov putting GGG on blast with hard facts and the truth.

You Team G-String Divas take the practice of nut-hugging to whole new levels.

Four rounds and his new highlight reel moves Lee to the second slot.

Golovkin may not have had any stern challenges this year.....

or, any other year for that matter LMAO

you just proved Korobov right

The right question here is 'why no Jacobs?' (yet)

We've got this virulent dynamic in boxing now where opponents are demanding high levels of compensation to take on anyone they are likely to lose to. We will see it with Loma too.

Canelo, Mayweather, Pac, can/could all meet the bride prices being demanded. If all of Lee, Quillin, Jacobs, Saunders and the rest were jostling for position to get at GGG, do you seriously doubt GGG wouldn't take them all on in the same year ? (if he could).

Right question is what's stopping it from happening. Why is Saunders allowed to fight someone ranked as low as Akavov as a mandatory ? Why couldn't Jacobs be ready for December- when WILL he be ready ? Quillin needs to get back in the game, why isn't he jostling for a shot at all of GGG's belts ? Lee has stated he would go there - why aren't we seeing it ? WTF is going on with Eubank Jr ?

Do we really think GGG is the problem here in not getting these fights made ? Why ? What would YOU do differently if you were managing him ? Pay the higher bride prices ? (serious questions - is it really just about paying the higher bride prices in circumstances where there might not be enough money to satisfy each boxers requirements ?)

rip GGG all you want about Brook, but that fight only went down because Eubank got in a war with his OWN promoter, and his OWN promoter said f this, so Brook stepped up. Would you rather have seen GGG go inactive instead after Eubank suicide-bombed the fight with GGG ? What alternative would you have pushed under those circumstances ?

of course he is, don't be so fkn ridiculous

and asshat's like you are enabling it

* he refused to fight Ward TWICE
* he refused to fight Mora
* he totally refused to negotiate on the weight with Cotto
* he refused to fight Lara on multiple occasions
* he totally refused to negotiate on the weight with Canelo
* he refused 10mil to fight Canelo
* he low-balled Saunders, and then LIED about the offer
* he low-balled Jacobs, then called an early purse bid

The fact is, Golovkin could have fought Ward, Lara, Mora, Cotto, Canelo, and most likely Saunders/Jacobs as well.

Golovkin is 100% responsible for his resume, just as you are 100% responsible for the dumb shht that you post.

Ggg is not a superstar????? Lmfaooo Ggg is the current face of boxing you moron it doesn't matter what any of u casuals say, undefeated, heavily ducked, ko streak that dates back years, 3 titles, made the ex face of boxing tuck tail and run, on his way to making middleweight history defending the titles more than benard Hopkins in a shorter span.... The most talked about fighter today is ggg. Nobody cares about anybody else
