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

[HeroBando]

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.

I think it'd sell some, not many but neither is Brook. If Ggg was a Hearn fighter it'd be sky box office for sure.

So the combined budget for the best available fight in his weight class is less than just his share for the Ggg fight, as a replacement. Speaks volumes.

And the combined budget for Golovkins fights on HBO are less than Brooks on Sky.

He a bigger draw though.

No dum****, Ggg makes 2m+ on HBO these days. That's much more than Brooks career high offer for Vargas. Sky doesn't pay much for non ppv, and Brooks best domestic ppv option was Vargas and 1/3 the money and buys.

£1 mil Brooke + £1.7 Vargas = £2.7 mil, even at todays ****ty exchange rate that's $3.44 mil. More than Golovkins fight purses on HBO.

That was gonna be ppv also, just much lesser than boxing superstar (per Hearn) was passing through town. No Ggg > sub $1m purses for Brook

[Robbie Barrett]

But that's cause boxing superstar (per Hearn) was passing through town. No Ggg > sub $1m purses for Brook

So Vargas is a boxing superstar?

Golovkin just isn't the super draw you nuthuggers think he is. That's why he had to be the B-side in the UK for a flat fee to get more than double his highest pay day.

The total purses for Golovkin-Lemieux PPV were only $3.5 mil.

Golovkin isn't a big draw. FACTS.

No I misread your post dumb****, see edit. Vargas was gonna be ppv just much lower performing. Fact is, Brook made some 5x his career high when he stood in for chump Eubank

His first ppv. How much more is that than Brooks first ppv? Like 5x?

What's that matter? Golovkin-Lemieux was worth the same as Brook-Vargas. Golovkin the draw though.

You can pretend he's a superstar all you want, it still doesn't make him one.
