GGG actually exceeded my expectations with 97k...i predicted 75k
People have been underestimating how hard it is to sell PPV because of these ridiculous out of context #'s may & pac been putting up over the past few years...
Oscar used to average around 200,000-300,000 buys when he wasn't fighting a big name opponent...Roy did under 200k buys with Griffin, Paziena & Harding and only 375k with James Toney.
Only Tyson does ridculous PPV #'s with a no-name opponents.
And it's gonna be hard draw out large masses of fans when you don't have a large ethnic/nationalist following to draw upon like Mexican, Puerto Rican & Pinoy boxers do (practically no Kazahks in the US)
Americacs don't give a fukk about Eastern Europeans...or boxing in general anymore.
