So, Lara just got paid 1 mil to fight Rodriguez, and yet you dont think that HBO would pay much more than 1.5mil for Golovkin/Lara?
How can Lara vs TBA justify 1mil, but GGG/Lara only justify 1.5mil ?
This is why I would only ever discuss the business aspect with an insider.
Too much guesswork, and too many variables.
You dont know what Lara would accept. You dont know what Golovkin would be prepared to accept for a name opponent. You dont even know how much is in the pot overall.
Regarding Cotto.....
Cotto said that he would fight Golovkin down the line..... and last week, Cotto stated that every middleweight opponent will be at catchweight..... so, it is kinda obvious that there would be a catchweight for that fight, and you cant get a worse catchweight than 155.
It is the most likely scenario imo.
IF Cotto beats Canelo, I am sure that he will fight Golovkin, at catchweight, and I doubt that Cotto will be too accomodating..... cant see why you find that hard to believe.
