Does Golden Boy have the resources to make Lara a star if he dominates Canelo?

Jmm had a similar style, dude lucked out with pacquiao and also lost his legs so he had started to trade more.

I still feel Lara can knock ppl out if he wanted too, as long as KOs and KDs pile up, boxers usually don't have a hard time selling.

[ramses07]

If I were Lara, I'd start ****ing some of these reality show whores and gossip site sluts, and talk an obscene amount of ****. He'd sure sell then. lol

This would work too lol go mayorga on 'em

Nobody does... not even Scaheffer believed it was possible

Nobody does... not even Scaheffer believed it was possible

But at least Schaefer didn't try to ostracize Lara like other promoters have done to other Cuban fighters....cough Rigo cough. Lara is about to headline one of the biggest fight cards of 2014.

[Build That Wall]

Yes, absolutely.

You also need boyish good looks or a complete asshole persona.Any of those helps. If I was Lara id get me some ingles sin barreras audio tapes and start learning how to curse in english at least. Let's not forget Broner was the "future " Mayweather before EVER doing anything of note other than acting like a complete jackass

Yeah, these are things that help market a fighter. Whenever someone downplays looks, I know they don't understand how important they are to selling a product. If you have the gift of gab and/or know how to get under people's skin, it's a big advantage. (Of course, it helps if you know the language.) Unless you're a world-beater, you better bring something worthy to the table.
