Payout Perspective:
It was the second time that Chocolito has appeared as the opening act for GGG on HBO and it appears to be a good formula. Notwithstanding a poor PPV debut last fall, GGG does well on HBO. If he does attempt PPV again, one might expect a big-time opponent.

Ggg should fight 3x this year on non ppv hbo…..ko everybody while waiting for canelo
Good ratings.
Solid. And he’s doing the right thing fighting regularly. It’s not his fault the top guys are ducking him. He just needs to do his thing in the ring.
Excellent numbers, and Canelo is absolutely running scared of him. DLH and Golden Boy dont want to lose their cash cow
Canelo is not running scared.
Ggg is knocking out nobodies, gatekeepers, and journey men.
Funny how GGG loves to throw catchweights to Ward and numerous other boxers but wont budge for Canelo.
The middleweight division is 155-160lb.
Also Canelo beats Gennady
then there is absolutely no other reason not to fight him than fear….
