Lara vs Golovkin

Why is it a double standard? GGG will only move up or down for a PPV quality fight. That means it has to be against an opponent who on his own is PPV level or combined with GGG will elevate the fight to PPV level. Ward is not that level of fighter. Ward is not PPV quality no matter who he is fighting at this point in time. He could move up in weight and challenge Wlad and it would make no difference. It is just a FACT. If you do not like it, I do not care. I cannot change it. Given some time, once Ward has started to fight contenders again and has collected another title or two and GGG has unified a couple of titles, a fight between them may well be PPV level. But not at this time. Cotto on his own is not PPV. Combined with Canelo or maybe GGG, he is. Same with Canelo. Canelo or Cotto against Ward would not be PPV. It is what it is. And by the way... it is not an excuse, it is a reason. And a very valid one at that. That's bullsh^t those aren't facts, those are biased opinions

I'd like to see it, two guys who were as good as they come in the amateurs. Lara's with Haymon though. How do you get around that? Lara moves to 160 and becomes WBA mandatory, forcing purse bids. Danny Jacobs is an in house fight for Lara. He would be 1 win away from getting this ass kicking that so many people want to see.

First of all Lara is a 154 guy who hasnt fought at MW yet, second he said in recent interviews he ain't moving up to 160, so he wants GGG to come down or what? Lara is a twitter warrior who keeps "calling out" fighters whenver they or he or even both have other fights lined up. Call out GGG right after the Monroe win, have your Manager or whoever call Tom Loeffler, otherwise shut the **** up.

And by the way... no excuse or reason is needed for GGG not to fight Ward. Ward himself has stated that he needs at least two tune up fights before taking on someone of the level of GGG. So even if GGG wanted the fight next, it would not be accepted.

I don't think he's a ppv draw yet. Funny ya ride that excuse for GGG not to fight ward, but you stated yourself that GGG Isn't ppv material either. That's called double standards.

I think this ends horribly for Lara. GGG is a much harder puncher then Canelo and much more technically sound with better foot work, while Canelo wasn't able to land many head shots. He landed a ton of body shots that slowed Lara down. I don't think Lara can take what GGG can dish out to the body if it happened to play out in a similar way. He'd break him down and finish his head off later. Jmo

No bias there at all. Just a statement of fact. Ward is not a PPV draw. If you believe he is, perhaps you can explain why his next fight is on BET. And by the way... Golovkin is not yet a PPV draw on his own either. And Ward-GGG combined are not a PPV draw yet either. Nor would Froch-GGG be in the US, it would be in the UK where GGG offered to fight. I don't think he's a ppv draw yet. Funny ya ride that excuse for GGG not to fight ward, but you stated yourself that GGG Isn't ppv material either. That's called double standards.

Nothing else was needed. Your bias shows itself. No bias there at all. Just a statement of fact. Ward is not a PPV draw. If you believe he is, perhaps you can explain why his next fight is on BET.

Nor would Froch-GGG be in the US, it would be in the UK where GGG offered to fight.

Yes, they did say that and every word is true. It makes no financial sense and Ward is not a PPV draw. Nothing else was needed. Your bias shows itself.

Yes Lara will fight GGG. You can't be serious about GGG ducking this track star. Why in hell would GGG duck Lara??? Would he be afraid he might trip and hurt himself chasing Lara? He choose Monroe over Lara because Monroe is a top 10 rated middleweight and Lara is not a rated middleweight. GGG wants to establish himself as the top middleweight and he can't do that by fighting 154 pounders. If Lara gets himself rated as a top 10 middleweight GGG will fight him. Then Lara can brag about the beating he is going to give GGG but Lara will run like a scared rabbit the whole fight until GGG corners him and puts his lights out. GGG will fight any worthy middleweight challenger but he can't fight them all on the same night. Lara could fight the hard punching middleweight from Canada and if he beats him he would be a rated middleweight. Another problem with Lara is he is not a moneymaker because his defensive fighting makes him dull as dirt.

Excuses, excuses, excuses. Did or didn't GGG's team say that the Ward fight doesn't make financial sense because it would have to be a PPV fight and Ward isn't a "ppv fighter"? Yes, they did say that and every word is true. It makes no financial sense and Ward is not a PPV draw. This has been proven in HUGE letters by the fact that Ward's next fight is against an empty, rusted out tomato can on BET. The guy can not even get a fight booked on Showtime, a network that has NO FIGHTS booked for the rest of the year!!!!! It would be difficult to find an opponent that makes LESS financial sense than fighting Ward. And in case you have forgotten, their statement falls directly in line with their statement that GGG will only move divisions for a PPV fight, which even Stevie Wonder can see Ward is not. And by the way... Froch refused to fight GGG in the US for the exact same reason... HBO said it was not a PPV quality fight in the US.

Excuses, excuses, excuses. Did or didn't GGG's team say that the Ward fight doesn't make financial sense because it would have to be a PPV fight and Ward isn't a "ppv fighter"? Thats because Team Ward is unwilling to step up with an offer, so no way to finance it otherwise. It was understandable with Goossen who couldnt muster up that much, but odd hearing Roc Nation talk about financial sense, cause theyre loaded

People have a misconception that Golovkin will struggle vs a "runner", he's 345-5 as an amateur and has a silver medal. Trust me, he's seen every style before. GGG can box and I hope he shows it today to shut some people up. exactly this. ppl overlook his skills because of his eye catching power.

wat a joke lara is lol. waste of genetic advantages

Why is Lara's next fight at 154lbs and not on HBO? Why won't you salt water f*ggots answer the question?

The point is, make an offer that makes financial sense dumbfcuk. Like Chavez, Canelo, Cotto, Froch would do if they had any interest in facing him. The interview if transcribed from video. It's not the first time Hunter has said he wants it to marinate, just fairly recent. Roc Nation CEO: if the fans want it and if it makes financial sense. I thought those guys had money to burn? Excuses, excuses, excuses. Did or didn't GGG's team say that the Ward fight doesn't make financial sense because it would have to be a PPV fight and Ward isn't a "ppv fighter"?

Abel said Lara hasn't fought in almost a year which was against Canelo who also didn't fight in almost a year.who has canelo fought that's relevant besides mayweather and lara. Monroe has never fought for a belt never been past 10 rounds and he's more in Demand abel just stop look what you are doing to yourself. Just make a poll man. If it turns out 90% of the posters have GGG stopping Lara, no point in sweating the mismatch.
