Seriously why isn't Lara/G monster happening??

[deanrw]

I mean everyone is running from the G Monster. but Lara is running towards him. So why isn't the fight happening??

C'mon you gotta know the answer before even asking the question. Politics ding ding ding. Before you say "well they made Manny vs Floyd", well that was a 400 million dollar fight, not a 3 million dollar fight.

[-PBP-]

Some will say politics but I can't see Haymon protecting Lara as some cash cow.

Be usse Lara doesn't fit the. Lab fighter criteria that GGG is use to thes days

I hate it when posters who have been posting for centuries always make it sound as if fights with contending promoters and networks are that easy to make. Lara has the same network and promoter/manager as Quillin, whose excuse of not being able to fight Golovkin, has been because they're on different planets. What makes you think this is any different?

Yeah, put simply Lara is a PBC fighter, Golovkin is an HBO fighter.

Lara could force the issue by fighting at middleweight and becoming number 1 ranked.

That could force a purse bid

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

Because fans aren't interested in the best fighting the best. All they can say from what i've seen is "Oh Lara is boring doe"

lara isnt the best doe lol

dude is B level (herandez,anuglo,Vanes,Molina) and on his best night B+ (trout,smith, even canelo but his best is not better than canelos best)

now add that on top of him being a weight class below GGG (so no one has a shred of belief Lara can even win because he will be the smaller man, and size matter in boxing why you think alot of people dont like the lower weights), and coupled that with he has a very boring style that even die hards say he can step it up a bit, = no one is calling for the fight.

People who want that fight are people who want to throw anything at GGG to see if he can be beat and when he beats them they call them nobodies.

If Lara moves to 160 and gets a W or 2 then we can talk more realistically, but for now its just a "for show" gimmick being played in my eyes.

Someone needs to pay them and Lara's been fighting for around/at least a million lately. Don't know where the money comes from but HBO probably doesn't want Lara around Golovkin if they have to pay GGG 1.5mil+ and Lara 1mil.

The fight should happen if Lara goes to 160 he's easily (one of) the best at 154

Yeah, put simply Lara is a PBC fighter, Golovkin is an HBO fighter.

We could accept politics as an answer if Loeffler hadn't said he approached Sanchez about it and Abel shot it down. K2 needs to call their bluff. In the meantime Golovkin's likely looking at Tureano Johnson which is an absolute **** fight.

[Evil Abed]

Whoah. Hold on. Lara needs to handle business. He's got that monster Zavec in front of him. lol

[SplitSecond]

If it can really happen, It should be made next before facing off with the Cotto/Canelo winner.
