Free TV vs. PPV Thoughts? :think Gennady vs. Murray had 2,2 Million viewers in Germany. 1,064 is a very, very low number. How did this happen? :huh The US has over 300 Million inhabitants. Gennady could sell 150k, as a Kazakh, against a Canadian fighter who didn't bring many fans like the Mexicans and Puerto Ricans do. 1,064 is not good, no. Especially if Ward is considered as the most intresting, entertaining fighter, ATG status and a good sportsman. I doubt he could sell more than 35k.
ward=boring ward=irrelevant ward=has no fans ward=doesnt sell ward also makes the same money as ggg... thats all you need to know
all you have to do is be worth it to one outfit....thats all you cant refute it....ward still gets the same money jayz and roc are getting ward a big fight...one of the most anticipated of the next year.....whats k2 getting ggg? i bet ward makes more than ggg from the start of 2016 to the end of 2018
That's a lie seeing as America hosts the biggest fights and garners the most money. All Europeans have to go to America if they want to make it big in the money and make it big in general in Boxing.
The difference is we matter more because usually the biggest fights end up happening here not the other way around.:deal If it's a mega fight 99/100 it happens here.
You only have Mayweather and Canelo and only Mayweather would sell out in Europe. In Golovkin we have a European who can sell out in USA. Plus staying in Europe never hurt the Klitschko's. Times have changed the USA is just a small % of boxing nowadays, plus if Crawford is your next big ppv star you're going to be found wanting.
GGG fights in the US he draws decent at the gate but doesn't sell PPVs. Kovalev fights here or in Canada. Who's this next big star other than Fury that you're referring to from Europe?
Golovkin isn't selling out anything in the US as proven by the flop of a PPV that got a man fired. Quit fooling. Eh what? Vitali became a superstar after he fought Lewis...in America. If he never fought that fight, in America who knows what might have happened. Point is sooner rather than later he had to come to America. It took a Manny Stewart revival and fights in America to make Wlad a big name in the HW division after the Sanders loss. Also I am not Amerian.
