Golovkin was selling out arena's too and breaking gate records but I don't remember anyone calling him a cash cow.
The Saudi's want to pay $100m to two fighters and none of them fighters are ginger, bodybuilders or midgets unless you class Usyk as a midget which is plausible.
They also had "wins" that were really losses BEFORE Bivol schooled Canelo & AJ got whupped by Usyk twice GGG beat Canelo TWICE !! too
Tyson Fury sold 60'000 fighting a near shot senior citizen who he'd whooped twice before and he broke records selling 94,000 at Wembley fighting an opponent who did zero to promote the fight and had been sparked out cold out by a Russian pensioner two fights before. And he signed a deal with ESPN worth more $100 million. That's what I'm talking about.
I don’t understand why Tank is so much more popular than guys like Stevenson and Haney, two other American fighters in the same weight class who have fought better opposition and accomplished much more (while both being younger than Davis too).
GGG has sold out all over the world and his fights are broadcast in over 100 countries. He signed a $100 mill deal with DAZN when he was like 36 y/o and well past his best. Imagine how much more that would've been had he not got robbed against Clenelo
Tank was paid 1m for his last fight. He has a lot of push but the cash is not lining up with his supposed stardom.
