I peeped it last night and was very surprised. He has good people in his corner to score that kind of exposure, but he's not a star yet. PPVs make you a star. Gennady and his team have to find a way to sell fights in order for him to become a true star.
I hope the media in NYC gives this fight a good go in terms of coverage, it'll be a full house after all.
Actually it's the other way around. Golovkin is the initial angry version, Paulie is the calm old self post-Snickers.
There are levels to boxing as there is also levels to this star shet. Using Astronomy to indicate relative magnitude of star-dom we have; - This content is protected - * MAYWEATHER * (P4P Brightest, Hottest star. These stars are rare) - This content is protected - * WARD * (Second hottest star behind Supergiant and is a star in transistion) - This content is protected - * KLITSCHO * (Twenty times larger than Supergiant, but about 16,000 times cooler) - This content is protected - * PACQUIAO * (A star that is too small to achieve fusion) - White Dwarf - * GOLOVKIN * (Very small and very dense. Next transition stage will lose all of it's heat)
Yeah, without a doubt Andre Ward is super super super duper hot right now. I mean, he got 300k people to tune in to his last fight on BET! So hot right now! Sure, Golovkin will likely get close to 300k in PAY PER VIEW buys next weekend but you're whole super witty dwarf description is so funny, man!
