    Lara is neither a PPV or live attraction. Neither does he stand a chance against Floyd, Lara is an overrated C+ fighter.

    Horrible post. Mayweather is mainstream and him coming to town would be huge. If he would fight molina in chicago
    Or GGG in NY . The arenas sell out ,floyd brings a superbowl event to town.

    Ppvs would do 1m minimum . And arenas sell out.
    I think people want floyd to fight cherrypicks and smaller or older fighters.
    Easy wins.

    When in reality there are challenes out there.
    If roy jones jr can go from 175 to 205
    To beat a man who outweighed him by 30 pounds on fught night still,floyd cant fight at 154 ? I call BS

      Maidana should be fighting Keith Thurman.
      Mayweather Lara
      And Khan needs to actually beat someone at 147 ,I don't know Shawn Porter at least.
      Khan-Porter makes sense.

      Both fought Diaz aswell.

      I don't understand why Khan's even an option for Mayweather.

        Mayweather/Lara would sell no matter where and when it happened. Mayweather can sell with anyone.

          Because Golden Boy has been trying to cash out Khan against Mayweather since 2011 and finally decided to stop letting him try and earn it.

              Lara should be getting this fight.
              On the real,Lara deserved it more then canelo.
              Its a populariy contest.

              Styles make fights and lara has advantages in this

                The day Mayweather starts doing high risk low reward while he could get away doing a fight with similar numbers against the ****sandwich duo the world is going to end.

                  Pretty sure Floyd likes to stay in Las Vegas for his fights. Las Vegas is the mecca of boxing showcase and that means something to Floyd. I would just like to see this fight.

                    Does this mean Mayweather is almost out of opponents if he has to turn to Khan (a titleless, chinless 140 pounder) and Maidana (not a draw)?

                    He can't fight HBO fighters so that only leaves guys like (outside of Maidana/Khan):

                    147:
                    Keith Thurman
                    Kell Brook
                    Shawn Porter


                    140:
                    Danny Garcia

                    154:
                    Lara
                    Molina
                    Andrade
                    Charlo


                    Out of these guys, Danny Garcia is the closest to being a draw and I don't think Floyd wants to go back to 154 so that may leave him with few options post-(Maidana/Khan who really shouldn't be options to begin with).

                      These should be the options

                      Lara
                      Molina
                      GGG
                      Danny
                      Paulie

                      Kirkland
                      Angulo
                      Thurman

                      Someone on espn need s to put up better
                      options that the fans want and include khan and maidana.
                      Bet khan and maidana end up last and the world
                      Tells floyd nope.
                      Money shouldnt be an issue . Floyd is under contract.

                      Ill create a poll for here or look for one.
