ggg is a second wlad K

Yep, another overwhelmingly dominant ATG, completely owning his division. Nice insight, OP.

 

Nah. He is a good Saturday night fight draw. When people are looking for something to drink to. HBO and K2 have to stop with the bull**** and market him properly.
The American White audience that they are trying to market him too needs something to identify with in GGG besides skin tone.
They need to fast forward his English lessons and get him to talk **** like the fighters in the UFC do. That was cute when Manny was spitting out broken English but after that 5 year dud he laid with Floyd.
People want the Mike Tyson promo back. **** talk and knock outs. He has to go full Adrien Broner.

 

ATG?atsch Let me know when he reaches the level of a KOstya Tyszu, Then i might start taking you serious, you Palooka:rofl:rofl

 

I think he's even better as the decade long HW king. ATG in the making.

edit: oh, that's not what you were going for is it?!

 

Oh look it's the moron who claimed black people can't be racist atsch

 

Yeah, and that's half the problem. When I go onto YouTube I frequently come across black run boxing channels which seem to almost have a personal grudge against GGG, like he took their sister's behind the shed and came out with a mini half Russian or something. The black comment sections posts are even worse.

It's almost entirely about race to way too many people. GGG vs Ward? Race? One is half Russion/half Asian, and the other is half black/Irish American. What's to get nationalistic about? I watch both and am a big fan because they're both great boxers.

We have to figure in the Ward factor in so much of this nonsense about GGG.

Would speaking english help him in achieving more crossover appeal? Yeah, I think so, but I don't think that is ultimately the real issue. I think the real issue is that the marketing began in the U.S. when GGG was in his 30's, not much earlier like Roy Jones, Bernard Hopkins, etc. That couldn't be avoided but I think that explains a great deal of his issues.

 

Unlikely, Golovkin and his team are realists, they didn't make ridiculous demands for their first PPV. Golovkin made $2 million and Lemiuex $1.5 million and with the PPV generated about $9 million, so HBO still made money, though not as much as they would have liked.

Did Wlad even fight on HBO on PPV when he was contracted to them before? I don't think he ever made it to that level of success, probably because of those early defeats which Golovkin does not have so he's an easier sell to the US fans.

 

ATG?:huh

Whats Kelly Pavlik then? Cos GGG isn't yet as accomplished as Pavlik.

 

F

must try harder

 

Yeah, he's too dominant for his own good like Wlad.

 

Wlad is back on hbo.

 

The fact he was gone says it all.

 

:good:good:good:good:good:good

He must be, cause DINOHELMET is hating on him as well!! :deal

 

The fact he's back says more.
