Is the "GGG" a major draw in the UK (using Brook's name) the biggest stretch?

[-Antonio-]

I'm not sure why more fighters don't go to the UK to fight. Boxing is dead in the U.S. It's a niche sport. Why not go to UK where it;s actually still very popular.

Keep up?

Nobody would pay a one off PPV to view it you thick c*nt!

Do you not think that things like that are taken into account before companies like BoxNation and Sky agree to host it??

You think nobody would pay to see Brook fight Canelo because it's in the US? You're a moron.

Canelo is a big name. If Khan was an Hearn fighter that would have been PPV too.

You don't know shit.

Because they can't make money unless they're fighting a Brit.

Probably because it's at 4am, it's not a good ppv slot

My point exactly. Brook is the main reason why it was PPV in the first place. GGG helped sold it but he wasn't the main reason why it got sold. It was more about Brook being the underdog against the huge favorite in GGG.

I would tend to agree with you guys as well.
Although I would assume that Golovkins star power in the UK is growing with victories over Macklin Murray and Brook unless those fights are causing UK fans to hate him lol
Could be a bit of both

And? Sky have had fights like Khan-Maidana on PPV at 4am. Brook-Canelo would be bigger than that.

And how did that do? Sky pulled the plug on Khan before his next fight, and stopped doing ppvs for a while. Canelo Brook could be UK ppv but there's little upside at 4am unless it's undefeated Hatton vs Floyd.

They're making money with PPV instead of losing. Little upside though.

Which is why Brook vs Porter, and all of Degale American fights were UK ppv, free money. Again, Canelo Brook is probably UK ppv, but gets less than 100k buys. But that's nice extra for a guy that was getting offered a career high 1m pounds for a unification 6months ago.

You accept it would be PPV, good. Now how many PPVs would Golovkin-Canelo sell at 4am in the UK? I'll answer, 0. Golovkin was the bigger draw though.


He was getting £1 million because nobody would come to the UK to fight him, so they had to offer the challenger £1.7 million.
