Why would K2 give GGG a PPV and not Wlad Kiltschko?

    exactly, pwople saying wlad doesnt attract viewers have no idea what theyre talking about or are just trolling. Im pretty sure other than Floyd, Pac, Cotto and Canelo no other boxer makes more money than him

    Wlad has his tv deals, mainly RTL which gets big revenues thru advertising (which is why I've thought some fights have gone longer than they might have, to get more commercial breaks in) and he can easily sell out a 55K soccer stadium. He doesn't need PPV....and honestly he'd have a hard time selling PPV

    Yup and thus far it's only second to what Canelo-Kirkland did.

    With bodyshots? Jennings wasn't trying to win. He was trying to survive 12 rounds. If Jennings was there to win, why didn't he throw a single power shot to Wlad's chin? NOT ONE?

    Aren't Wlad's fights broadcasted by a free German TV ?

    Golovkin was watched by 3.5 mil people just in Kazakhstan and of course Golovkin himself draws about 10 times more on regular HBO compared to PPV.

    Caenlo vs. Kirkland was after the replay of Floyd-Pacquiao, something that has to taken into consideration.

    A replay of Wlad - Pulev did around 1mil and his showdown with Haye(Same-Day Replay) did around 1.2mil

    I agree with this except that I did see Jennings land a couple of punches to the head. He just didn't try to beat Wlad, just to frustrate him. He took some vicious shots though.

    Wlad rarely fights in America. I wonder if that has anything to do with it?

    Golovkin was only paid $2 million for his PPV fight while Wlad usually makes about $6 million for fighting anyone, why would he fly over to the US to fight on PPV when RTL are paying him far more than what Golovkin is making at the moment.

    He doesn't need PPV as he gets millions every match from the German TV channel RTL.
