Why isn't GGG on ppv? Thought he was on the up and up in the PPV ranks?

    Wasn't Pay vs Pac billed as the Fight of the Century, and it was a boring fight, riddled with accusations, injuries, copouts and more BS than a manure farm...!!!

    you say that like its an insult....the super 6 is better than anything ggg has done or will do in the next two years....and ggg is two years older....stop saying super 6 like its an insult...doesnt matter when it was....ward is still relevant until he stops fighting altogether

    if ward was fighting ggg level opposition for the last 3 years youd be slamming him left and right...but since he isnt its "better to be active and fighting than doing nothing"....."ward retired doe...ward in court doe"...you guys sound like idiots....ward is younger and has a better resume

    Boxing isn't exactly filled with a lot of PPV draws, even among the more exciting fighters. Gatti headlined one PPV, same with Corrales, and that was because it was a rematch to one of the greatest fights ever.

    The biggest PPV draws in Mayweather and Pacquiao got a big boost in exposure in their fights with De La Hoya. Mayweather is a great self-promoter and Pacquiao is a fan-friendly fighter who also got lots of exposure in facing Mexican fighters. The Mexican and Puerto Rican markets are huge target groups among boxing due to so many being big fans of boxing, and some of the other fighters who sell PPVs are Mexican or Puerto Rican.

    Outside of that, it's rare. Roy Jones did awful PPV numbers until he beat John Ruiz. B-Hop put up good numbers in PPV when he was the smaller of the box office draws. Otherwise, he did a couple of decent PPV sales, nothing overly impressive. Same with Mosley.

    Boxing is only a niche sport in America, it's going to be rare when fighters are PPV draws. Canelo-GGG will do solid numbers, but that's because of Alvarez's fanbase and people knowing he is in for a very tough test.

    the problem was the bumluvscans stans claming he was going to be a big ppv star and take over for floyd.....he isnt...and when people throw that idiotic statement back in their faces they try to come back to reality

    Funny but GGG has more pro fights why is it that he doesn't have more meaningful fights than SOG ?

    The only top fighter in his prime Ward beat during the super six was Froch.

    He hasn't done anything since then

    Golovkin fought definitely better opposition in the last 3 years

    Ward beat the reigning Light Heavyweight champion since beating Froch. Exactly WHAT has the Triple Duck ever done in the whole of his career?

    Stevie says: They don't call him Gennady "Little g" Golovkin for nothing.
