Gennady Golovkin vs. Dominic Wade

[Spicoli]

As of this morning I notice they've now ranked Tureano Johnson as his next mandatory. I can't blame a guy for taking care of business and blowing non worthy challengers out but this is getting a bit boring. If I was advising Golovkin I'd take out freeway signs and sky writing planes calling Canelo out leading into the Khan match. The guy struggles more in his interviews than he does in his last few fights, and I want him to do great things.

There just isn't that much out there for him to fight. There's Jacobs but he's a Haymon guy with a belt so not very likely. There's Saunders and that might make money in Britain but won't get the same license fee from HBO unless they hold it in the small hours. Other than that there's a bunch of scrubs, not even going to mention Alvarez because he's not going to fight Golovkin until Golovkin qualifies for social security.

If he can fill arenas and get a decent payday from HBO and break the defences record he probably will do.

HBOs biggest draw so far this year with 1.25 million buys so he's definitely a huge star now. Add to that his new Air Jordan Nike deal and his other sponsors and there deals = $$$$ for Golovkin.

[Fenster]

The fight was on "free" HBO, those were the viewers not PPV buys.

He'd be getting $50 million not $2 million if he could sell a million PPV's.

[Kirkland Laing]

Golovkin got two million, Wdae got 500k. And Golovkin would love to do PPVs but to establish himself as a bona fide PPV draw he's going to have to beat one. Floyd is never going to fight him and Alvarez is going to delay it as long as possible, maybe till Golovkin gets his bus pass. Other than those two guys there's nobody with the PPV mojo that Golovkin can fight to move him into the PPV bracket.

Having said that there is another way to get him there. If there were a load of decent middleweight challengers that Golovkin could fight they'd make them PPV. They made the Lemieux fight PPV and it did 150000 buys. But there aren't anymore Lemieux-level opponents out there so Golovkin just has to plod along picking up a couple of million a fight waiting for the ginger Mexican to give in and fight him.

In fact even after that fight who the hell do they put Golovkin in with to make the next PPV? There's just nobody marketable at 160 apart from Golovkin and Alvarez.

He would pretty much have to move up to 175 if he going to get a block buster fight. There is no one in the 160 or 168 division right now it kinda dead so GGG is fucked enless few of the stars from 147 or 154 move up because there is nothing until you hit the lhw it is pretty sad indeed.

This is exactly the point. Yes he can move up to 168, but there's nobody outstanding there, hence no money.
And I also think that a lot of Brits don't differentiate between UK PPV & US PPV.
Every Tom, Dick and Harry in the UK is PPV, but the cost is cheaper than in the U.S.

GGG has options at 168

a fight against someone like Anthony dirrell or AA or chudinov

and then take one of the titles

nothing wrong with that

No more money , probably less than Jacobs , Saunders or Canelo, so why bother?

Fair comment, but who's to say those SMW's you mentioned will fight him? believe it or not, he's in a difficult situation.

[erics44]

yeah, you'd have thought they would have explored this kind of avenue already wouldn't you

unless were the first to think of it
