fck lara man this ungrateful piece of **** gets the biggest opportunity of his life on PPV against one of the biggest names in boxing PERIOD and he goes and bashes the company that's spending millions to promote said fight and expose him to the casuals and this sack of **** goes and bashes the company. Hope Canelo beats this chump into retirement for real. Hope he can never fight again im tired of this guy, he's the biggest **** talker in boxing with no resume to back it up

Decubas is wisely doing damage control here. Smart play.

And is Lara that ****** that he cant understand why a promoter (a for-profit business) would show more love to the guy who can sell out an entire arena than they show to the guy who cant sell out the first 2 rows?

To be honest; if he didn't have a promotional contract with GBP, he shouldn't expect anything from them.

I think he did at one point. Before he signed with Haymon.

Amazing how Haymon convinced Schaefer to release all these fighters from their GBP contracts. Some fishy stuff going on in boxing.

If Haymon worked with all promoters this would be good for boxing. Because promoters and networks would bid on fights instead of fighters being tied up in long term promotional contracts. If fighters just had managers to negotiate for them and the sanctioning bodies did the matchmaking we would see a lot of the fights we can't.

That's the way the sport should work. The problem is Haymon won't work with Top Rank.

As long as he's with Haymon he has no choice BUT to work with GBP. Who else is gonna work with Haymon? Not TR.

All this is absolutely irrelevant. Why you ask? Because, Lara doesn't bring anything to the table. He's just a decent, unknown boxer at this point.
