Dan Rafael chat wrap 10/16:

GGG vs. Lemieux:
- The fight was designed with a lower cost structure (for a PPV). The event needs to get about 200k buys to start turning a profit. He expects it to sell high 200's to low 300k's. If the fight sells over 300k, all parties involved will consider it a huge success.
- Gonzalez may have been struggling to make weight. The day before he looked fine and was pleasant to deal with, but he would sip water and spit it back out.
- He believes GGG is the single most must see fighter in boxing.
- Wouldn't be surprised if the fight was like Matthysse-Garcia and Lemieux turned out to be Garcia.
- Weak year for fighter of the year candidates. Wouldn't rank GGG there, even with a win tonight. Honorable mention, yes.
- Will GGG be knocked down? Interesting...will say, no.
- Other full venue sell outs at MSG? Remembers that Cotto-Judah and Cotto-Margarito 2 were.
- GGG vs. Lee, before fighting the Canelo-Cotto winner? Possible. It would take WBC approval and step aside agreement by the Canelo-Cotto winner.
- GGG is very well preserved for his age of 33. He was poorly promoted by his past promoter (Universum), which caused his delay in getting into the US market. He hasn't taken a lot of punishment in the pro's.
- Picking: GGG by KO6, and Gonzalez by KO9.
- Lemieux is a cool guy. He is supremely confident and has a lot of swagger, but isn't over the top in how he presents himself.
- Ortiz has incredible power. Expects him to win rather easily.
- Johnson vs. O'Kane is an eliminator to become the mandatory for the winner of GGG-Lemieux.
- GGG and Abel Sanchez is like the new Manny and Freddie.
- The drums and bells fans brought for Trinidad-Joppy at MSG were insane. There were also people tailgating hours before the fight on 7th avenue in Manhattan.
- Does not agree with Teddy Atlas that Thurman has more potential to be a bigger boxing star than GGG. GGG has Pacquiao potential.

Dan Rafael went full speed stanning on GGG. Excuses after excuses and the PacMo comparisons. Does GGG ever do anything wrong with him ? Lo . Funny how he's saying GGG is well preserved at 33. Broner at 23 faced better challenges lol. :dead:

I have no problem with the GGG slurping and promotion but why trying to bring the other fighters down every chance u get ? Makes no sense

Dan putting extra hours on that Stan card. He deserves an extra butter biscuits or 2
