    And Golovkin was drawing from a much smaller audience. In fact on PPV against a Brit, he got more views than Ward got on free TV on BET against another Brit.

    Ward only got 81K buys against Kovalev. I have an official source for that too which I will reveal as soon as I see a legitimate source GGG only did 97K against Lemeieux.

    This just goes to show how generous GGG was to offer a 50-50 split in return for 50-50 in weight, but Ward ducked the challenge to fight the deadly Paul Smith (which only garner 300K views, 200K less than GGG-Brook did on PPV).

    Golovkin-Brook was sold for $20 (rounding up) and Ward-Kovalev was sold for $60-$70 depending on which version was bought. Also, Ward-Kov did 160,000 buys.

    Golovkin-Brook: 10mill (AND it was in the UK)
    Ward-Kovalev: 9.6mill - 11.2mill

    Not impressed with either.

    That's actually rounding down. And secondly you are not taking to account the pubs that bought GGG-Brook where it's £250 to buy the PPV which I reckon

    And Ward-Kov didn't do 160,000 buys if GGG-Lemieux only did 97K according to the Golovkin haters

    Brook did nowhere near that last time he was on PPV though. Why's that?

    Ward only does 81K, and they was Kovalev fans

    The Bum King had his chance to fight p4p King Ward, instead he chose to fight bums/midgets hence why his nickname is the Bum King.

    I fully expect the Bum King to fight another bum, tomato can, midget or has been in his next fight. It's irrefutable.

    Mr. 81K had the chance to fight Golovkin for 50-50 and as evidenced here GGG is a much bigger draw.

    All he had to do is drop 4lbs, which is nothing compared to what Dawson did for him. More than fair.

    Instead, he fought Paul Smith on Bet in front of less viewers than GGG and Brook did on Sky Box Office.

    I fully expect Mr. 81K next battle to be in the court room when he refuses to rematch Kovalev for less than he got the 1st time because they made a massive loss because of **** PPV numbers.

    I think you mean the Bum King had a chance to fight a non bum opponent in Ward despite Ward being a semi shot, rusty part time boxer at the time. That didn't matter to the Bum King though, instead he wasted the entire year of 2016 fighting a bum/prospect hybrid in Dominic Wade then fought and looked bad against a domestic level British welterweight midget in Brook.

    Meanwhile, p4p king Ward fought the boogie man, the baddest man on the planet, the LHW King and snatched those belts for 'Murica and reached p4p greatness.

    The Bum King had his chance, the ship has already sailed. I heard he's still looking(begging) for that Cotton/Pac/Mayweather payday. He's even ducking Lara, who sold 300k PPVs on his own vs Canelo in American ppv, compared to GGG who only sold about 97k-150k buys.

    Nyet. It proves Brook is. GGG did what 97K here in the states with a much larger potential audience. Brook fights in his own country against all odds and gets 500K. WOW
