Comments Thread For: Lara Eyes October Return, Still Wants Gennady Golovkin

[tiliheels]

Golovkin is under contract to have his fights broadcast by HBO.
If GGG's fight is broadcast in the U.S then it will be on HBO.
They aren't going to let one of their most popular fighters go fight on another network.

Al Haymon is paying money for his guys to fight on PBC networks.
He is not going to let one of his guys go fight on another network.

Before you bring up Floyd vs Pac(because I know you will), GGG vs Lara is no where near that level.

contract means nothing if u go to the guys who own the contract hand get permission to work around it..hbo wouldnt have to put a dime up for the fight and they'd get on a better rapport with the fans of overall boxing showin tha they are willing to fix a fence that they broke..remember haymon was kicked off hbo..but now rules boxing jus about

Laras never going to be an attraction and as talented as he is, he can be so much better, offensively.

His statement about frustrating his opponents is actually an understatement, he frustrates the fans even moreso.

Kinda funny that a lot of the same people that have been saying that Golovkin was a coward for wanting to fight Canelo, are saying that he's a coward for not fighting a guy who Canelo beat. Stay salty.

Dang, thats some TRUTH!

117-111 tho...dont be a golovkin protection plan fan..he doesnt need it..he's a bad man that can ko or outpoint the best of fighters any night..

haymon is good business..did u see the expense for the garcia peterson card?
porter and broner both topped 1 million and that was mayweathers first big promotion besides his own..

They are he's fighters, Golovkin is not. I don't think Haymon would give Golovkin a career-high pay day just so Golovkin could have the opportunity to beat up on his fighter on national television and go back to HBO potentially a bigger star because of it. How's that for good business?

Fantasy land.

No idea why someone pursuing a title fight would only fight once or twice a year?

haymon let russell step in with lomo even after russell was said not to like the fight..andy lee is not a haymon guy and he was putting quillen on his but on national tv not to long ago...this is not some sick twisted fantasy i wrote..there is evidence that he will bring non pbc guys in who have shots to win..purse bid or voluntary fights..
he'll give GGG what he is worth...i think ggg is getting 1.7 to beat up on willie monroe...would he take 1.7 for lara or would he pull the risk reward trick? haymon makes his money back easy with commercial slots as far as the purse is concerned..now all he has to worry with is his investor and the time slots he's bought

[Liondw]

Lara is slick but he's no Mayweather or Pernell Whitaker. Some of those body shots from Canelo hurt him, especially in one round, tho he landed more head shots. Golovkin probably batters him over the distance, but a good fight to see.

Fantasy land.

it wasnt fantasy land when maypac was made the same way..ppl place ego's to the side and fighters stepping up and saying wat they want...if a fighter urges his contractor to do certain things for his highest pay days..to ensure a resigning u can bet it is going to happen...i'm sure GGG's purse on PBC would be close to 2million...lara 1.2-.1.5 range...the exposure would be too much for k2 to turn down...nowhere near a fantasy..just the fans of boxing need to start speaking up..
