No announcement yet.
If Floyd is a real Junior Middlweight champion, why won't he fight Lara?

boxing has always been about money. do you know who jack dempsey is, and that he fought approximately 100 years ago? how about sugar ray robinson? he was the fighter of the decade in the 40's and the 50's. best WW of all time, top 3 MW of all time. fought for money, and was matched for money.

I don't know why you guys are wasting your time with someone who doesn't understand that Mayweather-Lara isn't a viable PPV fight at the moment.
Nevermind the fact that Lara himself seemingly knows this which is why he is calling for Canelo's head and not Mayweather's.

Because the fighters I consider the greatest are the ones that have proven the most.
Additionally, why do you think so many hofers fought multiple times back then? Uh for challenge or because those fights paid the most? I'm all for nostalgia but to criticize a modern fighter by using your imagined standards of the past is shallow and invalid. You think if srr or any fighter was making 1 mil a fight they'd fight 20 times a year?

muhammad ali fought everybody. everybody. he has maybe the best resume of all time. look at him now. he's still got money, but he can't even talk or walk on his own.
boxers fight for money. networks pay for fights or put on ppv for money.
His money now is mostly from licensing and merchandise sales.

It doesn't matter if you suck and take beatings. If your popular you get opportunities.
