Golovkin vs Lemiuex should be on Premium Cable.

    I don't understand how any true boxing fan does not recognize this fight as a can't miss event.With whats at stake and two huge bangers it's a PPV winner.It will do the 250-300 hundred thousand estimate.:good

    This fight is not PPV worthy the very fact that you say it is tells me what type of fool you are.

    What denotes a PPV fight exactly, in people's opinions?

    I think the undercard is really good. Whilst I think the general consensus is on an easy GGG blowout for the main event, the idea is that it'll be enjoyable whilst it lasts. I guess it all depends what you like from your PPV.

    If I lived across the pond I'd be quite happy to pay for it personally

    Corrales Castillo I was on premium cable - and that was the fight of the decade as well as arguably one of the best action fights ever. Gatti Ward I was also on premium cable and that was a hell of a fight. Bumlovkin Lemieux would be LUCKY to amount to half of either of those fights.

    The point is, if Corrales Castillo I and Gatti Ward I can be shown on premium cable then Bumlovkin Lemieux has absolutely NO business on PPV. NONE. Period, end of...

    True, this level of competition is normally an ESPN level event, but today's marketing is based on the "What Will Fools Pay" principle, so when network execs see that casual fans will pay good money to buy a UFC Enuch Vs Female PPV, then why not charge for a sub-b level boxing event?

    Thank God for Al Haymon who brings boxing A level events to the masses for free on NBC.
    There is no way that K2 can possibly compete head-to-head with PBC, so they have no other choice but to find a niche within the UFC crowd that DKSAB, but show interest in the sport.

    Dawson-Hopkins was a much more relevant and important fight than Lemieux-Bumlovkin.

    Frankly, I think GGG is going to struggle to find opponents unless they are earning PPV money. You're seriously risking your life entering the ring with that guy, absolute monster. I'm in the UK so I get it as part of the Boxnation package that's £12 a month - I'd happily pay £12 just to watch this one fight!
