Golovkin Marketability

[Aaronide_ger]

All the mentions about golovkin being a Low reward/High Risk must really end right now.

For the Monroe Fight GGG earned a career high payday of 1.5 Million dollars. He almost sold out THE FORUM with an attendance of 12.372 (Max capacity rescaled to 12.600) Which was more than what Juan Manuel Marquez did against Alvarado last year..

He can stay at middleweight all he wants and still make huge money from now on. A Fight with Canelo Alvarez NEXT year will also Generate WAY above 1 Million PPV buys.

Golovkin seeks to Fight next in september at Either Mexico,England or Germany to Increase his fanbase all over the world.

$1.5m isn't "huge" money. He's the best fighter in the sport & the best entertianment value, yet the next bets guys just split a purse of around $400m.

He needs better promotion, better marketing & better opponents.

Who earns more than him? And also facing a not known opponent. Name me some guys.

Isn't Degale getting that much ?

I don't share the unhealthy obsession that fans like you have over purse numbers. Won't be too dfficult to find though, here's Bradley getting over $1m purse against the ghost of Casamayor way back in 2011.

Oscar De La Hoya has already stated that he won’t match Canelo with Golovkin for at least two years. GBP only has one really big marquee name in their stable, which is Alvarez. If Canelo loses, then Golden Boy ceases to be a relevant promoter.

Canelo can override DLH. After he beats Cotto, if Mayweather is unavailable, GGG will be the best option money wise. Saul has balls and wants to fight the best.

[ikorolev]

I doubt that DLH was in line with Canelo fighting Lara. It was low risk vs reward ratio fight.

3G already has a massive fan base. He is like JCC Sr's and some big boned pie faced Kazakh goat's love child. It is physically impossible for Mexicans not to get giddy at the thought of him fighting a stone pillar. He obviously is huge with the post USSR countries.

I think that 3G is severely underpaid at this time.

I apologize to 3G and his mother and father for the above post, although I suppose your father might be flattered.

No, because his father passed away last year.

That was a LOW Risk/High Reward fight not the other way around, Monroe had no chance at all/he didn't even have that "chance" opportunity we give to most fighters (one punch out of nowhere KO).

@Fergus

Man you are speaking nonsense really, Marquez's opponent was Alvarado who is way mroe known than Willie. None of the casual fans really knew who he was. If Golovkin gets to fight another beltholder (Andy Lee/ David Lemieux or Ndam) I am very sure that the overall purse will be WAY WAY higher than 1.6 Million. ALSO Golovkin fights 4 TIMES per year, while all these guys you mentioned fight at most 2-3 times per year. The overall money he earns in a whole year is bigger right now than any guy u mentioned.

Also Gonzalez and sosa are not marketable names, You really comparing them with Donaire? Man come on, how much did u want Gonzalez to earn anyway?

Canelo will fight golovkin next May if he wins against Cotto, Im 100% sure about it. Just wait and see.

[Badhusker]

Not sure what to think about the young prima Donna canelo. He says there is no competition at 160. Either he is lying or stupid.

Cotto will have to pay step aside $ to high or get stripped if he fights canelo next from what I read. I think he May stumble before that...in June.

Way I see it GGG has already called out the entire Middleweight division with his performances, he can't help it if the whole division has lost their bottle.

What does that have to do with it?

[5burowz]

Underpaid and underappreciated

@Fergus

"I did not draw any comparisons between the marketability between Gonzalez & Donaire. Once again, you’re arguing against a stance that I have not even commented on."

Then why did you compare their overall purses? Its only natural that the combined purse of GGG,rubio,walters,Donaire will be bigger because there are more marque names on them..

[tiny_acres]

GGG's biggest problem is K2.They refuse to pay the man and his opponents what they are worth.
He will never get a big name fighter to face him if they are only willing to pay these small purses.

There is some truth in that. They are hoping to get a big fight as a B side agreeing to conditions demanded by an A side. That would work with Cotto, Canelo, Froch and Chavez who are good draws, but wouldn't work with Ward, Lee, BJS, N'Dam, Lemieux, Jackobs, Quillin, etc.
