Since that doesn't exist, then I have no idea what the hell you're trying to argue anyway. Pretending that boxing politics don't exist and crying for Lara out of all people won't help your cause.
I imagine Lee is next, Lemieux/N'Dam winner after that. Canelo and Ward in 2016.
Originally posted by HeroBando View PostPPV or not, Froch is not making half of what he did vs Groves in the States. That's cause nobody knows who he is here nor gives a fcuk, and there's no PPV opposition. Because unlike in your fairytale world, you don't go to HBO and tell them, put me on PPV.
GGG in the UK is probably the best risk/reward for Froch, cause he's
1. smaller
2. far less proven
3. willing to fight Froch in the UK
4. a fight of global interest
5. would take a smaller cut than most of his stature
6. hottest name in boxing, lots of p4p and legacy points for Froch. If he somehow won, he'd be the toast of the boxing world
Froch can fight DeGale in the UK and earn more than a fight with Golovkin.
Your boy needs to convince HBO to make the fight PPV and then he might be worthy to share the ring with King Cobra.

Originally posted by Dirk Diggler UK View PostIf Loeffler has discussed it with HBO, he'd mention. If they'd made an offer, he'd mention it. The illusion that everyone is scared to fight Golovkin is his main selling point because it sure as hell isn't any of his wins. Adding Lara's name to the list would help perpetuate the myth.
Make an offer and we'll see if Lara or his manager are serious.
And no Loeffler isn't going to tell the media everything that goes on behind closed doors that's ridiculous.
We both know HBO and PBC aren't doing business together. It's not just GGG it's every HBO exclusive fighter.

What about Lara?
"Ummm.....errrmm....it can happen....I'll get back to you on that one"

No that's right, you earn the right to get on PPV like Froch did in the UK. All Golovkin wants is a handout because he has an entitled team unwilling to take risks.

What's the last UK fighter that was PPV in the US? And I don't mean B side, carried an HBO PPV?

Originally posted by Dirk Diggler UK View PostThe lion's share? LOL....Froch should get to keep all the UK money cos not one **** knows who the *** Gennady Golovkin is over here. Then lets see how eager GGG's entitled team are for the fight
Not long ago Froch made a poll on his own facebook page, who he should fight next. Your beloved Degale got the least votes by far, and who do you guess got the most votes? Exactly, Gennady Golovkin. Golovkin is by far the biggest fight for Froch right now. A middleweight that would move to your backyard to fight you? GGG is a superstar, Degale is internationally irrelevant, even in the UK GGG has more starpower. Deal with it. And tell Carl to be a man and accept the challenge. You are just afraid one of your favourite fighters might get beaten up while you should just be looking forward to a huge fight between two exciting fighters. Sore loser.

The incentive is HBO PPV and until your boy convinces his paymasters to put him on there against Froch, he can waste away his nothing career fighting the Willie Jrs of this world.
