Over 3.5 million people watched GGG-Lemieux in Kazakhstan

It is one of the few countries where boxing is the number one sport.

You gents are missing a key ingredient as to why the fight didn't sell like it was hyped to sell. This is America and two white dudes fighting is just not that exciting. Not being racist, it's just the perception in America. That's why a Ward and GGG fight would have made a lot more money and the numbers would have been excellent. It could have been GGG and a Mexican or Cuban or any fighter other than white. Mayweather didn't make his money fighting black dudes. Think about it.

 

Something that will make a lot of Kazakhs extremely relieved is that GGGs probably now surpassed Borat as the most famous Kazakh on the planet

 

well said! bravo!

isnt it sad to watch these guys "strut" around the internet puffing their chests out and swelling up with pride talking about ggg like they are his relatives? "hes the best....hes gonna be the next floyd...hes gonna be a ppv star".....these guys talk about ggg like their reputations are on the line....their internet reps.....its obviously important to them because without ggg who could they back and talk about? these guys need ggg to be invincible and unbeaten...it gives them a sense of belonging...like some sort of h0m0 club.....

i too am a fan of ward...and im a fan of ggg..im a fan of boxing...i want to see ward/ggg...or at least wanted to...i want to see ward/kova badly.....only fanboys make excuses for their fighter ducking a totally feasible fight that would have been pretty big....as if their welfare depended on the outcome

 

For those people who don't seem to understand why this is important, this means more foreign rights money for Triple G and the higher the Demand = more $$$$$$$$

 

Apples and oranges man. There's no way you can compare someone's first PPV to someone's last, especially considering someone's last fight before retirement. And yes, it was horrible what he drew as far as numbers. (Mayweathers)

 

someones "last" fight after a stinker of a pacquiao fight.....victory lap against a c level fighter that was barely promoted and advertised....still easily did 3x ggg...you know ggg...the guy who is supposed to be the next "star" and the "new floyd" according to his fans

ggg fans have no idea how stupid they sound to real boxing fans

 

Really? So Ward needs 3 bums at 175 before fighting Kovalev and you fools give him a pass, but Golovkin offering fight to PPV stars in Froch and Chaves at 168 and 50/50 @ 164 FAIR offer to BET star Ward and you through a fit? Why didn't Ward's team respond? Why did they go silent for weeks and only came out with their BS after Golovkin announced his next fight?

 

Shockmaster really making the rounds tonight on ESB! Look out, people!

 

20% of Kazakhstan's population had watched GGG's fight live with a 9 hour time zone difference.
Amazing :nod

 

You're such a bandwagon fan.

 

Here, we have people making excuses for the sales and justifying the numbers. And others exaggerating how much of a "failure" it was. Everyone just needs to chill, Golovkin will be a star.

 

:thumbsup

 

He is not a "new floyd". He is not a boring runner.
