    Why pay $65 when you can go to church for free and be both preached and lied to!

    Why was Kostya Tyszu never a PPV fighter?

    Boring fighter with a boring personality. You need one or the other at least to be popular, he doesn't.

    Because his biggest competition can only sell 97,000 PPV buys.
    In the age of technology GGG is everywhere, yet nobody wants to buy his fights. Why?
    Because he has no personality. :admin

    In fact K2 hurt his negotiating power by putting out that ****ty PPV. Now he won't get **** to fight anybody with a name because he is tainted.

    Everyone will say what he said about Ward and Lara, GGG generates no money...give him $500,000 if he's lucky.

    PPV in general across the board will fade to nothing after the huge Mayweather vs Pacquiao letdown.

    Ha-ha-ha. His ppv generated enough money to pay $4 mil in purses.

    Golovkin is one of the most exciting fighters out there, while Ward is one of the most boring ones.

    If David LeMule would have been paid the same purse that Paul Smith got I bet GGG would have taken home $8 million after everything was counted up.

    Ward vs Dawson should have been a PPV.

    Bernard Hopkins is also partly responsible for ruining the PPV market in the 168-175 division by making people pay for a few of his garbage fights. Wasn't Bhop vs Winky a PPV? That fight was a monstrousity. Hopkins vs Dawson I? The worst rip off and a scandal fake injury.
