Lara vs Golovkin

[ИATAS]

Really? You can't entertain offers when they don't even wanna bother fighting you. Example see Ward.

"That Ward fight doesn't make financial sense"

Now go and deny that GGG's team has stated such.

There's a difference between trying to make a fight by attempting to negotiate, like team Golovkin reaching out to Cotto, and just talking on Twitter. You can't make a fight on Twitter.

Was there an offer from team Lara? Of course there wasn't. DeCubas runs his mouth all the time on social media, just name dropping people and that's it. Some fans actually run with it. We already know Haymon and HBO aren't doing business here so let's not pretend Lara or PBC fighters are going to go fight there anytime soon. Unless there is actual offers being made it's just talk.

There is literally no reason for them to be worried about 154 pound Lara anyways. He isn't a threat to Golovkin whatsoever. It's pretty hilarious though to see Cotto fans and the likes reach so hard by pumping up Lara as some dangerous foe while they make excuses for the lineal middleweight champion in Cotto as to why he's avoiding GGG! What all boxing fans should always want is unification bouts and a single champ in each weight class.

The point is, make an offer that makes financial sense dumbfcuk. Like Chavez, Canelo, Cotto, Froch would do if they had any interest in facing him.

The interview if transcribed from video. It's not the first time Hunter has said he wants it to marinate, just fairly recent. Roc Nation CEO: if the fans want it and if it makes financial sense. I thought those guys had money to burn?

Excuses, excuses, excuses. Did or didn't GGG's team say that the Ward fight doesn't make financial sense because it would have to be a PPV fight and Ward isn't a "ppv fighter"?

People have a misconception that Golovkin will struggle vs a "runner", he's 345-5 as an amateur and has a silver medal. Trust me, he's seen every style before. GGG can box and I hope he shows it today to shut some people up.

[i'm a fun haver]

Why is Lara's next fight at 154lbs and not on HBO?
Why won't you salt water f*ggots answer the question?

Thats because Team Ward is unwilling to step up with an offer, so no way to finance it otherwise. It was understandable with Goossen who couldnt muster up that much, but odd hearing Roc Nation talk about financial sense, cause theyre loaded

Yes, they did say that and every word is true. It makes no financial sense and Ward is not a PPV draw. This has been proven in HUGE letters by the fact that Ward's next fight is against an empty, rusted out tomato can on BET. The guy can not even get a fight booked on Showtime, a network that has NO FIGHTS booked for the rest of the year!!!!!

It would be difficult to find an opponent that makes LESS financial sense than fighting Ward.

And in case you have forgotten, their statement falls directly in line with their statement that GGG will only move divisions for a PPV fight, which even Stevie Wonder can see Ward is not.


And by the way... Froch refused to fight GGG in the US for the exact same reason... HBO said it was not a PPV quality fight in the US.

Yes Lara will fight GGG. You can't be serious about GGG ducking this track star. Why in hell would GGG duck Lara??? Would he be afraid he might trip and hurt himself chasing Lara? He choose Monroe over Lara because Monroe is a top 10 rated middleweight and Lara is not a rated middleweight. GGG wants to establish himself as the top middleweight and he can't do that by fighting 154 pounders. If Lara gets himself rated as a top 10 middleweight GGG will fight him. Then Lara can brag about the beating he is going to give GGG but Lara will run like a scared rabbit the whole fight until GGG corners him and puts his lights out. GGG will fight any worthy middleweight challenger but he can't fight them all on the same night. Lara could fight the hard punching middleweight from Canada and if he beats him he would be a rated middleweight. Another problem with Lara is he is not a moneymaker because his defensive fighting makes him dull as dirt.

Nothing else was needed. Your bias shows itself.
