IS it considered a duck if the opponent?

Lara called out Mayweather. And Floyd's own fans started commenting, "he don't bring no money to the table doe." "It would be a boring fight doe."

Has Lara stopped fighting and gotten stripped or is Lara active? Lara's job is to fight and win. He's not a promoter. He's holding up his end of the bargain. Rigo was turning down fights and got stripped and then complained everybody is ducking him. There's a difference between fighting and just not able to cross over and not fighting at all. When did Rigo turn down a fight? Everybody in the division left to avoid him. He has to go to japan to fight. Again what fight did Rigo turned down?

Doesn't generate the financial return a fighter is a custom to???GGG-Lara Rigo--And anyone as examples I know it can easily be used as a cop out for fighters to avoid other fighters. But there should be some serious though about understanding where a fighter is coming from. Not one of you guys would leave a high paying job to get paid peanuts for a harder job, even if certain people respected you for it. Why do people act like GGG would get paid peanuts for fighting Lara? He wouldn't. He would get paid more in that fight than Wade and Monroe Jr. Canelo fought him and Canelo is the much bigger star. He really didn't need to fight him but he still did.

Canelo was in the same division than Lara, and payed him just 1 million. Lara's manager: "Lara commands a lot of money". They want a fat check to face GGG. Not gonna happen. Alvarez took on the toughest fight possible, and even paid $1m to help facilitate the fight happening. K2 isn't even willing to talk about Lara even getting near $1m. nice try, though

canelo fought lara.... nonito fought rigo... ^^^this to make the fights work, a star fighter can take the chance, on shorter money, to push for big fights. K2 seems to ignore that fact when it comes to Golovkin. Likely because he's already 34 years old (where losing a tough fight could set Golovkin back more time than he has left), but that's just me guessing

"GGG has fought plenty of bums and average fighters, so there's no excuse to duck someone for financial reasons unless he thinks that person is too hard to beat." Let's use berterbiev for example, NO light heavyweights are trying to fight him. He has no Market value in the US and nobody knows who he is. Even though he has the talent, and is as deserving as any of Ward or KOv opponents, he just makes no financial sense

which one has a belt at MW? when has Lara sold out a crowd by himself like Lemiux does? are you mentally handicapped? He is. He didn't find out yet and I doubt he ever will.

Lemieux who is less known than Lara got paid over $1.5 million, Lara didn't say what they want and Golovkins side has never made an offer. All this bullshit talk of Lara pricing himself out is just that BULLSHIT. which one has a belt at MW? when has Lara sold out a crowd by himself like Lemiux does? are you mentally handicapped?

Yes. GGG has fought plenty of bums and average fighters, so there's no excuse to duck someone for financial reasons unless he thinks that person is too hard to beat.

Canelo was in the same division than Lara, and payed him just 1 million. Lara's manager: "Lara commands a lot of money". They want a fat check to face GGG. Not gonna happen. Why so sensitive?? I didnt even mention ggg, canelo fought lara when he didnt have to, lara was already signed to fight ishe smith...

Rigo has done nothing to deserve a fight unless he want to fight for free. The guy isn't active. It takes two to sell and build a fight. Rigo isn't doing his part. Frampton or LSC can fight Rigo and sell out the arena and not one ticket will be sold to come watch Rigo. But Rigo would still want a high purse. I don't care how skilled Rigo is. He stunk up the joint on the Canelo/Cotto undercard then he was given a fight and couldn't get a passport at the last minute. Finally got the fight and he has nothing else lined up. He's down to one fight a year. He's not doing his part to build up and sell the fight. He don't deserve shit! He was turning down fights left and right that's why he got stripped. I have no sympathy for Rigo. I guess you think the same in the Lara-GGG situation. Lara's manager: "Lara commands a lot of money" Gets paid 1 million to fight Canelo. Unless you consider being a twitter warrior "doing his part to sell the fight".

canelo fought lara.... nonito fought rigo... Canelo was in the same division than Lara, and payed him just 1 million. Lara's manager: "Lara commands a lot of money". They want a fat check to face GGG. Not gonna happen.

You're expecting the common boxing fan to understand a basic difference between two situations. The common boxing fan is completely incapable of this. Double wide, baby.

Only if the other guy is a natural rival and is rated similarly. Bonus points if there are no other alternatives and you still wont fight him.

Not one of you guys would leave a high paying job to get paid peanuts for a harder job, even if certain people respected you for it. It is if the dude is your mandatory and you say that then fight someone say like Liam smith? Or say willie Monroe

"canelo fought lara.... nonito fought rigo..." Frampton will not, nor will valdev or santa cruz, donaire is irrelevant now. Lara was a mistake on the Caneo team. Everyone thinks less of Canelo for that fight

it's a tough line to draw, but if the guy is genuinely the most deserving then it is a duck. this is a sport, after all. in lara's case, golovkin's not ducking a guy who pretty blatantly doesn't want the fight. just look at lara's behavior, and htebehavior of his camp. his people are not persuing the fight. decubas used to call out guys right after they'd signed to fight other epopel if lara REALLY wanted the fight he'd go to 160 and campaign to get a shot at the title. he's content to fight a rematch with vanes.
