On Saturday, Gennady Golovkin will step into the ring with Canelo Alvarez amid a chorus of cheers. Boxing has a serious superstar problem. He is loud, flashy and, like Scrooge McDuck, is fond of flaunting and nearly diving into his mounds of cash. The Jekyll and Hyde act drew the eye of casual boxing fans enough to score some of the sport's most lucrative Pay-Per-View buys. As of this writing, the estimates for the McGregor fight are in upwards of 4.8 million buys, which would sit Mayweather comfortably in the upper echelon of pugilistic sport with the top four fights regarding PPV buys.
