    No one going to talk about how Canelo drew 18 million viewers for the fight?

    You think Golovkin will do what Kovalev did and fight a match in his hometown? HELL NO! Golovkin is def. no Manny Pacquaio.

    Only? Mexico has 120 Million inhabitants.

    Germany has 80 Million. Klitschko vs. Peters had 10 Million viewers. Klitschko is not even German. :qmeparto:

    18 Million is very, very poor in this context.

    I believe it was free to air in Mexico, 18 million sounds very impressive in isolation but if you break it down, free to air, population it's good but not amazing.

    Nigel Benn Vs Chris Eubank over 18 million here in the U.K back in the day and that was free to air, a country the size of the U.K. had over 18 million tune in. That's impressive.

    yes
    Klitschko's main fanbase is german.

    America's population is 320 million. That's 200 million more than Mexico, while HBO's GGG-Brook only drew 800k.

    Let's do the math:
    13.3% of Mexico watched Canelo-Smith
    0.25% of USA watched GGG-Brook

    Sorry, but those are very good ratings for Canelo.

    Yes... Mexico is Canelo's main fanbase. But even if every person in kazakhstan (100%) watched GGG-Brook, it still wouldn't be as much as Canelo-Smith.

    and how many subscribers does HBO have? comparing HBO numbers to free TV in Mexico is completely pointless

    also, bear in mind that GG's fights are televised in over 100 countries, where not all viewer #s are published

    Deal with what ? Are we back on the ba train of whoever draws more free viewers wins the hypothetical fight ???

    Like I've been saying for YEARS canelo is one bad mutha****a, he will fight ggg and it will be the greatest fight of modern times.

    Canelo is building himself into a true legit large badass MW and once accomplished that's a vwry difficult and daunting fight for anyone.

    GGG cares ONLY about owning the mw division. He wants every belt and looks like he's going to be going for minor belts too.

    Bjs aint fighting him, so we'll get a fight 100000000000x better in jacobs. Once he takes care of jacobs (todays jacobs is a very tough out) bjs will have to fight or drop the belt. I'd rather him dump his belt, that's simply too much of a mismatch, waste of fight for t h e true G man.

    Id rather G get his belt any way ge can then focus solely on the winner of Kovalev v ward. That's what a true pickem fight is all about. I can't give the winner just yet but ill know within a 2 weeks which to make a payday off of.

    And 90-95% of these viewers just streamed the fight since there's no way people were dumb enough to get robbed for a fight that didn't have the standard to be a PPV fight.
