Comments Thread For: Zabala Hints That Canelo-Lara Could Be Golden Ploy

[icha]

Canelo gets way more respect for taking the fight win or lose than if he just ducked Lara for next few years. They are the two top 154 pounders and both signed with GBP. NO reason the fight shouldnt happen. I agree the timing could of been better with a superfight with Cotto but i feel like that fight will always be there.

not really, lara is not signed...

Lol

It wouldn't matter if Canelo gets KO and gets put to sleep. He would still be a huge draw, way bigger than Lara. I see Canelo fighting Mayweather again for the money.

Some **** tank Cuban from a snake in the grass rinky dink promotional company. Why is this posted here?

These are types of fights that a superstar takes, Canelo will beat lara easily. This is good article tho. If all star boxing had any type of valid contract, they could put stop to this fight. Why are they allowing it to go through? no point/

[Teetotaler]

Holy **** I thought the same thing! Like schaeffer was like **** it. But even if canelo loses he'll still be a draw

If they didn't have a valid allegation, then the judge would not allow it to last in the courts all the way to a trial date.

Valid contract or not, it's very rare for a promoter to prevent a fighter from making a living. If he wins the trial in October, GBP could be liable for damages from all of these fights where they made money with Canelo. I believe Zabala's attorneys, who are one of the best firms in Florida, are demanding $30 million but I'd have to check on that demand.

quite unusual 4 Zabala 2b coming out w/ a statement as this unless he knew "something"...I hope he wins his suit.....

My feelings exactly fam. A lot of people don't realize the "ducking" we speak of is a lot of the time initiated by guys like this higher up the food chain. Same with Danny Garcia, all the people eating off him are most likely the ones that won't let him rematch Herrera. A fighter more times than not has too big of an ego to not want to fight a guy, unless said fighter is of boogie man status (kovalev, GGG, Matthysse)

Matthysse??? Lmfao

He got a pass for losing to Floyd cuz he's #1. He gets ko by Lara, he's not gonna be a huge draw still. And Won't fight Floyd again.

[Skills-Kill]

Absolutely agree. Win, loose, or draw Canelo will still be popular and Lara will still be unpopular. Rigo beat Donaire decisively and got froze out at HBO.

Only reason that happened is because Donaire was the cash cow and Rigo embarrassed him! Now they are trying to destroy Rigo's image for exposing Donaire. That's what's wrong with boxing today. No one appreciates boxing for what it really is. Everyone just wants a fight where blood and guts are spilled onto the ring and don't care about watching a guy with skills. That's like watching two bums in the street fighting, I prefer watching talented and skilled boxers. Don't get me wrong a brawl is entertaining but it does not really show a boxers true skills.
