GGG vs Lemieux sells 150,000 PPVs???

Last weekend we saw one of the most anticipated fights of the final quarter of 2015 in GGG vs Lemieux. The fight itself turned out to be a one sided affair but reports are now coming out indicating that the PPV figure of that event was only 150,000. If this is true then it is very damaging to GGG and Goldenboy promotions. GGG is considered one of the best fighters out there in boxing and his fan friendly style has endeared him to many fans but despite being the best middlweight on the planet he continues to fail in PPV. This just goes to show you why being a PPV star doesn't necessarily mean that you have to be the best fighter out there. Team GGG must be worried that GGG alone cannot draw the sorts of numbers that other fighters can despite being easily within the top 5 pound for pound fighters in the world. Of course a large proportion has to do with the fighters he is facing but at this point GGG alone should be able to draw numbers but he is failing.
