    Sounds like HBO didn't make too many good decisions?

    Cmon man it’s Canelo. You’re going like that’s a normal pay for US based fighters

    Lol if this fight happens 1-2 years from now, Canelo will destroy GGG. He's already more skilled, he just doesn't have GGG's durability, motor, and power. GGG's durability and motor will keep getting worse.

    Is GGG so unpopular that he can't even pull enough audience for a decent payday? WTF? HBO is acting like he's some kind of nobody. Tons of fighters less popular get paid more.

    Well it was Brook, a popular UK fighter. You're acting like everyone gets 5 million in the UK.

    There are tons of tons of less popular fighters than GGG getting paid more than 500K per fight in the U.S.

    He would be lucky to win them, and there goes his demand. 1 million dollar purses for the 10th best contenders who have lost already are pretty rare.

    Sullivan blew his chance ,and his highest purse.

    How is Canelo not financially liable for breaking the contract for a looming suspension because he tested hot? He should be paying HBO for Golovkin's May 5th opponent, and paying Golovkin and everyone else who lost money also.

    I had originally wrote about 500 world explaining why your viewpoint is wrong....But I didn't really need to as the following sums up my point pretty precisely:

    Darts may well be a sport involving fat men throwing arrow like objects at a board......

    But it attracts a higher attendance, tv viewership and more media coverage than a Deontay Wilder fight.

    Golovkin sells out, he sold out a MSG, in LA, everywhere. HBO is getting their arses kicked by Showtime, ESPN and now I read EPIX will start showing fights once again. They showed Vitali!!!!!!! HBO needs to wise up................hell, a good fight will be Usyk Vs. Gassiev, but USTV will boycott it because of prejudice against Eastern European fighters............

    Haha

    I actually like F1 too ... Still, you can't deny it would be about the least popular sport in the UK by number of participants!
