    To put that in perspective when the lineal SMW and LHW Champions who were both Americans, both on P4P lists and both fighting on HBO for their entire careers fought Dawson and Ward got 8,500 and they gave away a couple thousand free tickets. Golovkin's first appearance on US TV was less than 2 years ago and K2 surpassed their 7000-7500 goal so solid numbers and a success overall all they need is someone like Chavez, Froch, Cotto to fight GGG and he'll take that last step.

    Yes, and can you imagine what a sellout Golovkin Vs. Cotto would be?

    GGG-Cotto would be huge, but it ain't happening. Roach will never allow it. Cotto would take a severe beating.

    The HBO execs must be catching hell for spending that kind of dough.

    If Cotto fought ****** boy the split should be 75/25 to Cotto since he is the major draw.

    How so Golovkin getting 750K is deserved and he was considerably underpaid his last two fights making 350k IIRC. I'm sure the TV numbers will be first rate too i'd expect the execs to be quite pleased with the entire affair.

    Almost as much as they'd catch for spending three times the amount for worse ratings (Ward-Rodriguez). :hey

    Ring Magazine top 3 is a tomato can?

    160 lbs isn't a strong division but the likes of Macklin, Geale and Stevens are some of the best that division has to offer.

    You off your meds again buddy?

    Even with an awkward fighter, the guy caves his face in. He's knocking out guys with punches that don't faze boxers usually

    to demolish a former champ who had never been stopped hbo paid ggg 1/4 what they paid ward to ud a cherry pick.

    viewing figures will be revealing.

    i was quite obviously quoting the figure given for his purse from hbo. not knowing his total earnings doesn't make me a casual, it makes you an obsessive.
