Now that the PPV has flopped tremendously, do you expect GGG to go back to reg HBO?

    Following the dismal performance of Little g's 1st PPV I think that from here on HBO or any other US network will insist that Little g fight a live body who has a name to attract viewer to compensate for Golovkin's lack of a paying fan base.
    Hopkins - GiGi would have done 10x the buys as Lemieux, and Little g Vs Lara would probably do at least 5x due to Lara's name recognition.
    Even Little g Vs Quillin will do at least 3-4x over what GiGi was able to accomplish on his own.

    It just goes to show that even if you are undisputed MW champion, if you haven't fought anyone, no one cares to spend money to see you.

    For mandatory defences? Yes. Cotto/Canelo, Lee/BJS, Quillin/Jacobs will probably be on ppv.

    Oh hell yeah, a very serious thread intended for serious discussion!!

    MVC and Upper**** have given very informative, unbiased opinions and in no way are they trolling. Let the reasonable talk flow everyone....

    K2 said before the Lemiueux fight that his next fight will likely be in Monaco (Europe) and on regular HBO, not on PPV. So this shouldn't come a surprise at all.

    Lara vs. Canelo sold like 200k so GGG vs. Lara would of done less than 150k

    Golovkin won't sniff PPV again unless it's vs. Cotto or Canelo.

    I think you don't know that the "B" in BET stands for Belgium, right? :lol:

    Lemieux was hardly a ppv opponent. ..only because he held the ibf belt. ....If ggg canelo flops or ggg cotto flops. Then it will be ggg fault. Which I think them fights will be a huge success
