I like Golovkin but I have to agree with some points. He should just keep his mouth shut, his trainer too.
Are you stoned? 1. This fight is not selling 2 million, how do you even come up with that figure? Cotto-Canelo who are much more popular than GGG sold 900K. Canelo is Canelo, but Golovkin is NO Mayweather, yet somehow its supposed to do the same as Canelo-Mayweather?? This May, when Canelo fights JCC Jr. we will get another fight to gauge what two popular fighters sell. 2. What Magnitude? Hardcore fans aren't the biggest PPV consumers, Casual fans are, and Golovkin isn't as popular with the Casual fan. 3. Golovkin is on record stating that its Legacy before Money. 4. Canelo isn't ducking anyone. GGG could have accepted any of the three offers.
If it sells 2 mil (which it won't), 1,982,000 will buy because of Canelo, so $15M to Golovkin is more than fair.
I agree, it's pretty sad that at 35 Jacobs is the best fighter he will have come up against. Nothing against Jacobs I think that he is a good fighter and a top middleweight but he is not elite and not a world champion. Still I give Jacobs a slight chance to win now that GGG is 35 and is used to weak competition.
No one thought Floyd would get 300 mil for his Pac fight either. They marinated that fight for 5 years, giving us a rotten and diseased product that broke all ppv records. GGG-Canelo is doing the same.
1. Cotto vs Canelo wasn't marinated like this fight was. Plus it was a mismatch to begin with. Everyone with half a brain knew Canelo was going to win. 2. Casuals know both by this time. You're dead wrong if you think casuals don't know GGG. 150k ppv against a Canadian fighter most people don't know is not a bad result for a Kazakh fighting out of germany. 3. He may be, but its all BS. This is prize fighting above all else. 4. Canelo isn't ducking, his management is. He is the only profitable fighter that GB has.
I agree with everything you said but I think you're over estimating ppv buys i just don't see it and 15 mill is nothing to sneeze at seriously I just want to see the fight and I want to see it before gg is 40
I am afraid we won't see it anytime soon. By the time they make the fight, it will be a **** show like Pac-May was.
