Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Promoter: No Word From Lara and His Team

[The Big Dunn]

It wasnt a long term deal, it was Ggg + another fight, at 12/17m. Confirmed by his manager. Amazing deal, way better than sitting out, then getting thumped by a fringe guy for a fraction

He didn't want to work with Bob/TR anymore. That is his right. Him losing to fonfara in no way makes his not wanting to work with Bob/TR anymore a bad decision.

The point is he turned down working with Bob/TR, he wasn't afraid of GGG.

I would never bust on a fighter for staying active. I respect GGG a heck of a lot more than Andre "I fight twice a decade" Ward.

Does anyone know when the deadline for the mandatory is between Cotto-GGG?

I believe standard procedure is 6 months after the mandatory has been appointed.

[NEETzsche]

GGG is a pound for pound ranked fighter and should be held to a higher standard than Danny Garcia (who was coming off a loss in actuality) and Deontay Wilder who had 40 amateur fights.

I want to see him be a challenge seeker and hold titles in multiple divisions to increase the universe of potential challengers.

k2, roc nation and hbo have all said that the ward fight isn't doable right now. i.e. they literally can't afford it. according to golovkin, his team did even agree in principal to fight ward once (presumably for short money), but ward and hbo both baulked. and froch would rather retire than face him.

degale and ramirez are fine, but are they really worth ditching his best division for? do they have any advantage over lee, quillin, n'dam and lemieux except their size? and, for what it's worth, i seriously doubt that hearn would be willing to throw degale in with triple g before the groves rematch anyway. hearn, like arum, is a habitual 'marinator'

I'd like to see that fight still. Lara would have a significant speed advantage which lends to his style well. I couldn't see him winning but considering he called for the fight- I'd definitely be intrigued to see how it looks. I could see Golovkin possibly losing a UD to someone slick and smart. I'd like to see GGG have to cut the ring against someone with excellent foot work and distance.

You're calling Cotto the b*tch when he's in his 4th weightclass and GGG is calling out WW's as a MW. Literally, he just called out Floyd Mayweather, a guy he'd have 25 pounds on and Cotto is the b*tch...

BWAHAHA!!!!!

Floyd called him out first man let's be fair. GGG was just responding.

I don't get the whole "GGG fights bums" thing. The guy is at the absolute worst, the No 2 MW in the world who is working his butt off to fight the No 1. The vast majority of guys are far inferior to him..

[Contra]

basically, both camps need the green light from their bosses before they can even begin to discuss this fight. k2 can't offer a purse to lara without hbo first agreeing to bankroll the fight, and decubas jr can't negotiate with k2 without haymon first authorising them to fight on hbo.

This ^^^

Sums up this situation perfectly.

WHy is "Active" ok for you instead of challenging himself? You wouldn't accept staying "active" for a fighter you didn't like.

I see. What fighter who has unfinished business in his division have I critisized for not challenging himself?

You're calling Cotto the b*tch when he's in his 4th weightclass and GGG is calling out WW's as a MW. Literally, he just called out Floyd Mayweather, a guy he'd have 25 pounds on and Cotto is the b*tch...

BWAHAHA!!!!!

Who has he called out who is a Welterweight?

Cotto is his mandatory, holds the lineal and WBC Middleweight title and is fighting in his division. He's fair game.

He didn't call out Mayweather, if you notice he responds to people asking questions about Mayweather. He says it's his dream fight, how is that calling someone out you spastic? By the way, Canelo weighs in the same as Golovkin on fight night. Let that sink in.

Log off, you're dumb as fk.

BWAHAHA!!!!!

If Cotto could still make those smaller weights then he would.
He can't! He has the MW title now so he's a MW.
And he is a b*tch that gets his ass kicked and then storms out of the ring like a crybaby. Nobody does it as well as Cotto does lol

[Beater_of_ass]

Hes gotta have willing partners. Lets hope Froch sacks up, thats Gggs best bet at this point.

Willing partners? GGG is no different than anyone who doesn't want to fight him. For some reason when asked about fights his answer is always "Come talk to us." Why is it that GGG runs his mouth, yet he never goes out looking for a partner? They don't even initiate any negotiations themselves, so I don't want to hear about being unable to get a big fight.

Does he complain he's hungry then not even bother going to the fridge? Does he say I have to take a massive **** and drop a load in his pants because the toilet didn't come to him? It sounds ****** because it is, he complains and then only tells the media no one wants to fight. It's probably why Ward came out and said something publicly about lying. He's probably saying stop calling me out and then not even approach me in the first place.
