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

[AllBoxingAD]

If I was Lara, I'd be doing the same ****. Call out GGG knowing dam well this fight ain't getting made. Then, maybe the historic poor viewership of my last fight will be ignored. Have no idea what makes Lara-stans so sure he can fight on HBO or that Haymon wants this fight at all.

Hope this fight happens so that GGG can take a dump on this fool and then we can listen to how GGG is a bitch for fighting a junior middleweight and or that Lara is a tomato can/janitor/cab driver etc...

How do you feel about GGG talking about Floyd without knowing if he is allowed to fight on Showtime?

Lara hasn't fought on HBO since 2012 and he only did then because TopRank won purse bid for the Vanes fight.
Why do you think he hasn't been on HBO since then?
Tell us what has to happen for him to fight on HBO now.
I know you won't answer the question.

why whou hbo want this fight on regular hbo when it could be on pbc with higher views for GGG and better pay? they dont have to put up any money for the fight..

[tiliheels]

how does hbo make money off of viewership?
pretty much they only money they make is the subs that we pay monthly right?

if that is i the case it is not loss for them to give a fighter to pbc as long as they are still under contract when it counts...PPV!

IF THEY DONT HAVE TO PUT UP MONEY FOR THE FIGHT they should have no worries except that GGG might lose..and i think he stops lara

Mayweather is top dog, he could get Showtime execs to bend over backwards if need be. You've mentioned basically the only fighter that can call all the shots. If he wanted to fight GGG it would happen.

Lara on the other hand hasn't fought on HBO in years.

Scenarios not at all comparable.

GGG being a HBO fighter and Lara being with PBC is not the problem here imo. I just don't think HBO is going to pay The American Duck anything close to 1mil to fight GGG like he got paid to fight Rodriguez.

Al is welcomed to foot the bill but why would he?

floyd is not going to have pull like that unless the buy are over 1.6 million...
and at this point i dont think GGG can do that..he might promoting on hbo as well as showtime there could be huge buyers, but i just doubt it..1.2 at most imo
showtime is doing 800k-900k with floyd vs showtime figthers

they are not going to be willing to split buys unless it gets them to at least 1 million...maybe they work out a percentage since ggg is not a star like floyd, but then HBO could get all but hurt about it and say no...

why fight on hbo when the purses and ratings will be higher on pbc??

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.

Yawn... Your excuses bore me, but Ill answer your ****** questions anyway.

What needs to happen is for GGG's promoter to convince HBO that Lara as an opponent would be beneficial for GGG's career, then they get clearance from Haymon to let Lara fight on HBO and there you have it. It aint about viewership, cause GGG is the draw, he has never fought an opponent worth **** so no matter who he fights people tune in to see him. Its really that simple.

Case in point, HBO say they are ready and willing to pay Stevenson his worth form him to come over and fight Kovalev. Even if he is with Haymon.

So you know for a fact that Haymon is prepared to give Golovkin more then 1.5mil to fight Lara on PBC? FOH
