Let's face it, GGG vs Brook was a much bigger event than Kovalev vs Ward will be!

    There's a big fight of great significance on Saturday night, yet you, "The casual" wants to Continually talk about GGG... Face it Troll, Kovalev is better, more proven, and deserves all the Hype and credit!!! GGG hasn't earned **** yet!!

    You forget GGG gets other side deals from abroad he still got his 2/3 mill guarantee with hbo for fighting brook because they showed it on regular hbo
    GGG makes 5 mill guarantee eddie hearn sent him
    makes anther 2/3 mill at the hbo offices after they aired his fight on regular

    tell me about it

    i was on the phone constantly for 11 minutes and no joy

    in hindsight (no pun intended) when the Toad Whisperer threw the towel in i was mighty relieved i hadnt paid well over £500

    the hype for this - and in particular who this mysterious Khazak guy was - over here was huge

    GGG vs Brook had freak show appeal it was a modern day David vs Goliath, but in reality Goliath almost always wins

    Golovkin - Brook was a freak side show for drunken Brit fans and only showed that Golovkin is a mediocre MW, only worth playing a flat fee against a mediocre welterweight.
    It was a Brooks event.

    No just no,I may be a GGG fan and his fights are amazing to watch but you can't compare that mismatch to Ward v Kovalev,I don't care how many buys it gets Ward v Kovalev has been hotly anticipated for a long time

    He means bigger as in it was a bigger and more lucrative event. Kovalev vs ward is clearly the better fight but it won't be the bigger fight, nowhere close
