Comments Thread For: Lara To Golovkin: I've Called You Out a Few Times, Let's Fight!

[Shadoww702]

Reminds me of Leo Santa Cruz calling out Rigo in his post fight interviews. Third time after beating another sparring partner you could hear a tone of exasperation in Jim Gray's voice. I believe Gray said something like, "Have you told your management team to do something about it?" I don't remember his reply, but Leo did do something, but not to make the Rigo fight. He resolved not to fight anyone but Mares, which was a good fight. Point was, don't just effing talk. Do something. Talk to your management team. They're there to serve you.

You do know who Leo is fighting next right??? You should look it up and if you don't know who he is. You don't know SHT about boxing

What does ggg gain from taking this fight?

what weight will it take place?

[Derranged]

you also cant "duck" a guy who isnt even willing to fight until 12-18 months down the road.......

For all we know Ginger McGee will fight Golovkin.

ya its possible maybe even probable ggg ends up knocking him out, i do think lara could put on weight good for 160 though i dont think the size difference would be much at all it wouldnt be no khan canelo and i think he would give a better fight then any of the other guys ggg will face if he cant get canelo or saunders. If ggg can get canelo, saunders, jacobs a lara fight makes no sense but if he cant or it gets delayed theres literally no reason lara cant be one his stay busy fights none at all and it would actually be ggg's biggest win even with lara being a 154 guy. its not like hes gonna make any less money if anything hell make couple hundred k more.

its just frustrating when guys like canelo wont fight ggg but then ggg wont face guys like lara. Team ggg try to pretend it wouldnt be bigger then a wade fight because of the struggles lara has with tv ratings and ticket sales and i get it its a business but at the same time its a bunch of bs, we all know u put lara in with ggg and its going to be ggg's most watched fight hes ever had and anyone who says different is full of it.

You don't know how much money Lara would ask. Do you think he'd ask only 1 million? he'd ask for 2 millions at least I believe. That means the fight needs to be PPV. And Lara can't sell PPV, and GGG is not a big PPV star yet.

If the fight is not happening is for that reason. Lara didn't look any good against Vanes last weekend. I'm sure team GGG is not scared at all of Lara... the problem is that Lara might not be serious at all about making the fight and he probably wants big money.

Wasnt expecting 12 pages. People actually believe lara wants this fight?

He's fighting Frampton next doe. This is not about LSC. The Mares fight alone eliminated all doubts. This is about Lara doing something not just talk. Tell him to talk to Haymon doe and get the fight he wants. Tell him to fire Decubas who is useless.

Of course: they don't make big money, but they want big money to fight GGG. On another hand, Golovkin can't sell enough PPVs by fighting Lara etc.

GGG should fight Lara on Sept and take the holiday from GBP & Canelo! there is no one out there that canelo can fight that would be worth the PPV! on Sept. I would rather watch Lara/GGG an pay! than canelo fight a nobody! or a WW! that's for sure! and as far as Lemieux/canelo nother garbage fight with a catchweight circus! thanks a lot GBP you guys suk azz!

I agree that Lara should be GGG's next opponent if the Canelo fight doesn't happen. That said, it would be pretty foolish for GGG to try to compete with Canelo fighting on the same date. Regardless of how you feel about them as fighters , Canelo is a much bigger star. And competing against Canelo would have limited on his numbers because a lotta Canelo's fans are fight fans. Competing head-to-head would only give GBP more leverage to **** GGG in negotiations when they try it again next year.

GGG gains the best win of his career, by far.
