Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Coach: Canelo is Bigger For Us Than Cotto

yea but i don't live in the past. i'm talking about the present and cotto's last fight at the garden did 12k. the same amount ggg did vs monroe and ggg is well no his way to beating cotto's past records anyway so yes he's a bigger draw. deal with it.

Oh, I forgot to mention in my previous answer to your post regarding your statement that Golovkin is well on his way to beating Cotto's past records. I can with certainty say he's going to have a tough time even coming close! Here's why, Cotto has had 8 PPV fights totaling 5,025,000 buys not including his upcoming Canelo PPV. Do you honestly think Golovkin is going to come close to that?

Don't know where you get your info from, but you are way off the mark. Cotto - Martinez at MSG had an attendance of 21,090. See link:

As a matter of fact, Cotto's appearances at MSG have set all-time attendance records. Gennady Golvkin drew 8,572 for his Daniel Geale fight at MSG.

And you think that Cotto alone made the 21k? Martinez was a big star too.

welp from what I saw.... there were a few argentinians there

Really? I think you are being overly optimistic, and very unrealistic in your expectations. Here's why, Gennady Golovkin is 33 years old, only 1 year younger than Cotto, and he only just inked his 1st PPV fight with Lemieux for October 2015. To surpass Cotto's PPV numbers, Golovkin would have to fight 10 PPV fights averaging over 500,000 buys each. I am not even including the PPV numbers that the Cotto Canelo fight is going to do! Do you see any other marquee names out there to pair with Golovkin to make those PPV fights, and bring in anywhere nears those numbers? C'mon get real!
