It's Not Our Fault That These Guys Are Not PPV Stars!

Mayweather had over 10 title fights before he had his first PPV. He had won bronze at the olympics and he had beaten the likes of: Hernandez, Corralez, Manfredy, Augustus, Castillo and Corley.
PPV stars don´t just happen. They are made after years of contests with top names.

Gennady Golovkin has beaten six top ten contenders: Proksa, Geale, Murray, Macklin, Lemieux and Rubio. In addition he has beaten more crude contenders like: Monroe, Stevens, Adama, Lujan and Rosado.
He has looked exceptional in victories, delivering highlight reel content fight after fight. The only times he did not look great were: Ouma, Rosado and Monroe Jr(Both Ouma and Rosado are porven to be though as railroad spikes).

So don´t give us that: "he hasn´t fought anyone" BS. He goes in there with top competition and delivers excitement, so stfu on that front.

And of course was Kovalev going to massacre Mohammedi in an empty arena. He had only headlined 3 significant shows so far, and they were all in New Jersey!
Why that olld ass Duva with her fart face wanted to set up Kovalev in a new location, is beyond me. They should have continued to build him in New Jersey.
Golovkin fought in the small MSG arena for years before he was popular enough to move to the big time.

 

Give them IV use privileges and they'll be PPV star also.

 

Ppv sucks but how could anyone fan not love these two ? That's beyond comprehension

 

And your post is bipolar and sounds racist.
" Not Our Fault...don't go blaming an entire cultural group for these men's failure to be marketable "
wtf are you even talking about?

Kovalev has brought in 1mil + viewers in his last 6 fights with the only exception being the Caparello mismatch, that average around 900k.
Kovalev is one of HBO´s best draws.

 

Main Events,Krusher's promoters,estimated 300,000 PPV buys -while GYM,Stevenson's promoters,estimated 250,000 buys at best.They are not delusional and they realize neither fighter are PPV stars.
I doubt they would hit the 200,000 mark if sold as a PPV event.

 

Give it a rest, you don't contribute anything except bringing up Mayweather. You don't like him? Let him be forgotten.

 

I think Golovkin is more marketable than Kovalev because of his looks. I think they're both awesome fighters but I rank Kovalev over Golovkin. Their popularity, or lack of, has nothing to do with race or nationality IMO. Golovkin is just more marketable based off his face and "good boy" attitude.

 

It´s not a PPV fight.
They would need a heck of a card to sell it.

 

Bumlovlin and Kanvolev have collectively sold all of 97k PPVs. Obviously nobody gives a rats ass...

 

Collectively sold? way to spin it.

 

The guy doesn't know **** about boxing. I've never seen him once breakdown a fight or give real ****ysis. He's like the Pac**** version of Farmboxer, both of which need help.

 

Kovalev should be a star he's a psycho and has the skills to back it up. For whatever reason the casuals haven't bought into him and it's a shame.

 

It's harder for them to sell in America, boxing is ethnic and nationalistic too, that's what mainly sells.

Boxing is neither popular in Russia nor is there a huge minority contingent of Russians in America, it's similar to Cubans actually but at least these guys are exciting enough to attract some sort of fanbases.
