    Even if the PPV sells well people will still be hesitant to fight him.

    If you fight him your body gets seriously damaged and you may leave with brain issues. Is it worth the check?

    If you fight a ppv draw who's a defensive fighter you just lose and come out unhurt and collect your massive check.

    HBO and K2 have done their best to protect this hype job. However, this charade can only last so long. Eventually he'll have to come off of his Bum of the Month tour...

    He also set the StubHub attendance record. The guy pulls more people to his fights than any other American star atm. Question is, can he actually live up the expectations and hype being set for him coming in to tomorrow. Should be a great fight, can't wait!

    There is usually absolutely NOTHING to do on a Friday night in Manhattan, so you might as well go to the fight.

    He's poised to be a star. I do wonder if the mets game here in NY will cut into his buys this town is gripped in mets fever.

    Calling DLH a former middleweight champion, while true, is cringe worthy enough. But sandwiching his name in that context between Hopkins and Duran is borderline criminal.

    What the sell out of MSG tells me is there are a lot of Russian and Europeans immigrants in New York who will pay in droves like they pay in Germany, England and Russia to see B-level opponents fight.

    The undercard selection was very good though and they were smart to include one of the top 5 P4P contenders, Roman Gonzalez who a big part of New York's Latino fans will pay to see. For many, it's not the Golovkin, but Gonzalez show.
