    of course there will , if golovkin was black and from the US we would be half way there already , floyd has set the bar nobody can argue that but imagine another fighter with floyds attributes that can actually KNOCK PEOPLE OUT !! , at some point someone will come along that can do that and new records will be set , the fans will always be there ready to pay there money when the right guy comes along .

    of course. ppv success is just a product of good marketing. it just happened that floyd has speed and skill that they were able to maintain him being undefeated. a true great is different for they will continue fighting all challengers and dominate the sport without the need for biased officiating and uneven playing field.

    possibly but it will take a combination of

    unquestioned skill
    resume
    charisma
    intelligence

    Bro stop being a damn troll GGG needs to beat top competition to be a PPV star, if GGG was black with his resume he'd be Wilder who most of you guys sh!t on.

    You have to put on PPV worthy fights vs guys people consider legit, GGG has fought noone legit.

    I dont know why the **** he was so popular. He was actually boring.

    Probably De la Hoya has the answer.

    I never got it, really. There was hardly ever any drama in any of his fights.

    Yes, and No.

    Yes, in that there will be other boxing stars who sell good PPV, generate a lot of money and get paid as well or more than Mayweather. That's a given. People earn more because the currency is worth less.

    No, because although they may earn more doesn't always translate to being as skilled as the previous generation. Look at Vlad Klitscho and the point is apparent.

    dont call me a troll , im far from anything like that , seems you are more like the troll by taking the discussion off topic and belittling golovkins achievements , he is on a quest to be UNDISPUTED middleweight champion of the world , how the **** can he be ducking anyone !!

    i believe my comment to be 100% correct , the fighter to come along to be the next PPV star has to be american to attract the numbers floyd generated , as good as golovkin gets and as far has me go unbeaten he will never get the american audiences on his side .

    Is Manny Pacquiao American? Isn't he a huge PPV fighter in America?
    America is a place especially in sports where all you have to do to be a star is be the best and capture the peoples minds.

    The public just saw the best guy on GGGs resume, get ramroded by Cotto.

    Until GGG starts fighting people that are considered elite, he'll never be a star the #1 prerequisites for being one is putting on matches people actually care about.

    And what achievements does GGG have, he did not become a real Champion til last year and did win one in the ring til this year vs a guy who's never beaten a elite fighter in his career.

    Excuse me for not being easily impressed.

    Also Canelo is on his way to becoming a PPV star and he's Mexican.
