    I have a feeling Wade's purse is going to surprise a lot of people.
    Yeah probably solid purse else Wade would drop out. Simple solution, Lara becomes next IBF mando. Should be easy, look at the contender ranks. Shoulda done it already by beating Wade

      - Lara isn't marketable

      - Then you respond "Well, some fans didn't think Monroe was very marketable but you fought him"

      I want to hear his explanation on that.
      Don't quote me on exact numbers, but one of the main reasons they went with Monroe Jr versus Lara was the difference in the financial demands.

      As you know, Monroe settled for $100K purse. If I recall correctly, Lara wanted at least $1M, which at the time, they had difficulty justifying because neither was a huge draw.

        Golovkin had already sold out the Stub Hub center against Rubio. They stepped up to a bigger venue, The Forum, against Monroe. Sanchez said Monroe was a bigger draw than Lara.
