The Gennady Golovkin-David Lemieux middleweight title unification fight on Saturday night at Madison Square Garden in New York generated "just over" 150,000 pay-per-view buys, K2 Promotions managing director Tom Loeffler told ESPN.com on Thursday night.

The HBO PPV fight, which Golovkin (34-0, 31 KOs), a Kazakhstan native living in Los Angeles, won by dominant eighth-round knockout of Montreal's Lemieux (34-3, 31KOs) to unify 160-pound world titles, was the first pay-per-view appearance for both fighters. The pay-per-view generated more than $8 million in revenue.
New York Mets and Chicago Cubs -- involving two huge markets -- the fight suffered, Loeffler said.
"I thought it would have a good chance to break 200,000, but with all the college football games and no way to predict the Mets would be playing the Cubs -- a high-end playoff series -- it was tough," he said. "A lot of people were watching baseball in those big markets, but overall, we were happy with the event. When you can sell every single ticket to Madison Square Garden and generate a gate of over $2 million, you're happy."
HBO Sports senior vice president Mark Taffet, who runs HBO PPV, said the event was a strong first-time pay-per-view effort for Golovkin, regarded by many as a future face of boxing in the wake of Floyd Mayweather's retirement last month.
"Golovkin-Lemieux met or exceeded every benchmark of success which was set going into the event," Taffet told ESPN.com. "The PPV buys solidly met expectations even amidst the Mets-Cubs national telecast registering the highest-ever TBS baseball playoff viewership, including the PPV-critical markets of New York and Chicago. This, combined with the palpable excitement of the sold-out crowd in Madison Square Garden and the in-ring performances by Gennady Golovkin and [co-feature winner Roman] 'Chocolatito' Gonzalez, encourage us that the next great era of boxing has begun and will continue with the highly-anticipated [Miguel] Cotto-Canelo [Alvarez)] megafight on Nov. 21."
Loeffler said he knew he was taking a risk by putting Golovkin on pay-per-view, especially against an opponent who had only appeared once previously on HBO and did not have a big name in the United States.
"But we've always taken risks to get Gennady where he's at," Loeffler. "And so we thought it was the right step at this point. It was worth it. We generated a lot of money with the pay-per-view, delay rights from HBO, the closed circuit and the international revenue.
"A lot of people focus on the American market, but he had one of the highest rated international shows in the U.K. on BoxNation, on SAT.1 in Germany and the biggest channel in Russia. He was also on Polsat, the biggest channel in Poland, for the first time. And on top of that, the Garden told us we broke the merchandise record for any boxing event there: over $122,000."
Loeffler said Golovkin will continue to appear on HBO as well as on HBO PPV, depending on the level of fight.
"He is the type of fighter who can fight on HBO and still have a significant budget or have a big fight on pay-per-view," Loeffler said. "I thought we gave the fans a lot of value with considering the ticket prices and the price of the pay-per-view. It was their first time on pay-per-view, and even though we thought it might break 200,000, we certainly don't look at it as a negative. The fight still generated more than the license fee would have been from HBO, and the international sales were very strong, as were our sponsorships."
HBO will replay the fight, along with the co-feature -- flyweight champion and pound-for-pound king Gonzalez (44-0, 38 KOs) scoring a ninth-round knockout of former unified titleholder Brian Viloria (36-5, 22 KOs) - on Saturday night (9:30 ET/PT). The replays will precede live coverage of junior welterweight titlist Terence Crawford (26-0, 18 KOs), the 2014 fighter of the year, making the first defense against Montreal-based Hatian Dierry Jean (29-1, 20 KOs) at the CenturyLink Center in Crawford's hometown of Omaha, Nebraska.
Gennady Golovkin-David Lemieux bout generates about 150,000 pay-per-view buys
Now all of a sudden, only 150k was needed to be a success...how convenient
@ChocolateGiddyUp they broke the record for most merchandise sold!!!!
These spins from Team GGG and HBO taste delicious
Charlo to defend IBF title against No. 14 ranked Campfort on November 28

Jermall Charlo will return to the ring on November 28.
The newly-crowned IBF World super welterweight champion will defend his belt against IBF No. 14 ranked contender Wilky Campfort (21-1, 12 KO’s).
A venue has not been determined.
Charlo knocked down former champion Cornelius Bundrage four times in September to claim the title before referee Johnny Callas called an end to the bout in the third round.
According to a source reporting exclusively to Behind The Gloves.com, Charlo turned down an opportunity to fight fellow undefeated Julian “J Rock Williams (21-0-1, 13 KO’s) and pursued a fight with former world champion Austin Trout (30-2, 17 KO’s), but was rejected by Trout.
Charlo has a solid jab; he knocked Bundrage down with that punch, and he has decent power in both hands.
Since losing a majority decision to Manny Woods in his second professional bout, Campfort has won his past 20 fights, 11 by way of knockout. November would mark his first 12-round fight.
Campfort stopped Ronald Montes inside two rounds on a PBC on Bounce bout in September.
This will be a tough fight for Charlo, who has never fought a guy that has been able to return the fire. Despite being on the floor in the first round against Montes, Campfort cut off the ring and pummeled Montes in round two.
Campfort knocked Montes down three times in round two, the third being a big left hook that sent Montes crashing down against the ropes.
Expect an exciting fight come November and a formidable test for Charlo.

--- can get touched, easily!
Not even saying that as an insult, Macklin touched him, Lemiuex got some good shots in etc. etc. nobody has had the power to knock mc eiht (the g ain't in him) off his game yet
I actually think GGG is better defensively than most give him credit. Granted he gets popped from time to time but but he defensively responsible (not a wizard). I thought Curtis Stevens would at least check his chin (pun intended @patscorpio ) but he managed to not get hit too clean. Had he got he hit from one of Stevens left hooks I believe it would've been lights out or he would've been in serious trouble.
Yeah Stevens gave GGG some issues with speed in that fight

Redemption is Coming
Met him at a gym in Hollywood, FL. He sparred 2 dudes and his stamina was not great. Good hand speed but nothing special. He will have an interview on the haitian station soon since he trynna move from Tampa. He had like 5 fights on youtube. Don't know if they're down

Moses don't want those problems
I bet he'd rather fight the much, much easier Provodnikov.
I agree already that he is one of the most avoided, especially in his division. I think the title of most avoided at JMW belongs to Demetrius Andrade, who even with a title, people weren't trying to fight him.
Andrade then J Rock imo.

Because GGG wants to be a ppv star even if he "claims" he's just belt chasing
GGG will make that weight becasue he needs Cotto/Canelo
Cotto/Canelo dont need GGG

I guess its okay when its Craword, but not okay when its undefeated Bradley and Algieri

that just means one thing ....
boo boo vs jrock in december
naw im actually hearing rumors of liam smith vs andrade.....i doubt smith with fight him though soon.
drade needs another team around him.....
I don't see him jumping in with another elite black fighter in his very 1st fight back from surgery. I think he's gonna take an opponent that's tailor made for him, then he faces Crawford later in 2016 as his last fight.
That's just imo of course. He could surprise me and push all his chips to the middle of the table, but I doubt it looking at his history coming off losses:
KO loss to Torrecampo, took on 21-7-3 Carillo in next fight.
KO loss to Singsurat, took on 41-5 Jamili in next fight.
UD loss to Morales, took on 42-10-2 Velazquez in next fight.
KO loss to Marquez, brought up tailor made Brandon Rios in next fight. (didn't use Bradley because Manny was robbed in that fight, we all know it)
UD loss to Mayweather......fights undefeated elite fighter in Crawford next?
I'd be surprised
