Tweet of the day: Golovkin thanks Rousey for her support ahead of his PPV debut

#1 ranked middleweight (160 lbs) Gennady Golovkin (33-0, 30 KOs) is making his HBO pay-per-view debut on Saturday night against David Lemieux (34-2, 31 KOs), and while fans may have been disappointed by Floyd Mayweather's two PPVs, this one promises to be a terrific fight with a high chance of a KO (honestly, probably by Golovkin, who is a big favorite). Golovkin has become a rising star in the sport, and tickets for this event are just about out. How he'll fare as a PPV draw is another story, but for now, we know he has built up a fanbase, particularly the Latin American audience who have been drawn to what he calls his "Mexican style" of boxing.
