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.

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.
3-Time SADDO PREDICTION COMP CHAMPION.
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
Officially the only saddo who has had a girlfriend
