The Gennady Golovkin Myth

[!! Shawn]

At the end of the day, GGG is an asset to the network given the amount of resources poured into marketing this guy. A fighter like Lara, would prove too much of a risk at this level where the network can see a better return on other matchups like the Cottos, Alverezs, and Mayweather. Until then, his management, promoters and distribution channels will continue to carefully pick the next fight.

There is nothing wrong with that, but just see it for what it is. Clever match-making.

Other way around, I love Lara, dont get me wrong. I believe he comfortably beat Canelo, but Al Haymon is going to keep him FAR FAR away from GGG.

Froch wont fight him in his own backyard.

That's essentially the crux of Dirk's beef with Golovkin. He's been pretty sore about him ever since HBO used a quote from Froch that implied he wanted nothing to do with Golovkin.

Even made a thread about it:

That's just further fuel to the Golovkin myth. Using quotes or "we tried to make this fight" as a way to hype him.

You can make it about me or Froch or whoever you want. I speak the truth.

Are you ******ed? Al Haymon... You think Al Haymon will put in Lara with GGG when he has al these tv dates lined up?

Think? I want to KNOW. I want GGG's people to have gone to Al Haymon and actually ASKED to fight Lara. And then come and tell the public that Haymon rejected the fight. Did that happen? No.

They went to HBO with 3 names and none of them were Lara. They didn't lift a finger to make that fight. They hand picked this bum and are marketing it as "Cotto, Froch and Chavez are scared! Cuban style doe!"

Has Lara even asked for a fight with GGG?

We all know he has.

What would it even matter if he asked or not anyway? Team GGG clearly know he exists.

I don't know and I don't intend to read 370+ posts to find the link, so maybe you can direct me to it?

You are old enough to use Google. Stop playing dumb.

What does it matter if Lara asked or not?
