      How do you know how much he wants to be paid? Did he say how much he's looking for? Have you ever heard of Lara being a diva over money and dropping out of fights over money? Who started this rumor about Lara? Lara has always fought tough competition and I've never heard him complain about money.

        What is so hard about having a chat with your own adviser?

        FACT: Lara is one of the most boring fighters of this generation. There is practically no incentive to fight this guy. Charlos don't want him. Jacobs pukes just thinking about fighting Lara. Williams doesn't mention his name.

        And you're telling me these promoters should be dying to contact him?

        Vasquez: "I'll tell Haymon to get Adrien Broner for me."
        Khan (who is not a boring fighter) still have to tell Haymon who he wants to fight.

        This running man who got twelve fans just effing talk.

          he brings no fans, no power, no fights at 160, no excitement value, no chin ( dropped twice by angulo)

          Just because a couple of casual's mention his name doesn't mean we need to talk about him

          does anyone actually care if we never see lara again?

            Im not a fan of how Loeffler handles negotiations or how he handles the media. It worked for the Klitschkos, because they were the ones calling the shots. He could get away with just sitting back and waiting for the offers, etc. That is not the case with GGG, and Loeffler needs to take a different approach. He needs to quit with the "nice guy" routine and start putting people on blast. Why is he not issuing a press release saying that Golden Boy never presented a single offer for Canelo-GGG? Why not release what number Saunders or Lara is asking for? He needs to start putting public pressure on the other promoters, and maybe he might get a decent fight made for a change, instead of sitting quietly while everyone skips him over and he's left with the Monroes. etc......

            Loeffler = boxings "wing man" lol

              You forgot to mention Floyd fans puking all day when they learn Lara was calling out Mayweather. He's too boring doe. He brings no money to the table doe.

                Look at the purses he has gotten in the past. He's making over a mil per fight. Wade made 500k for a GGG fight. Lara's not fighting GGG for 500k and I'm only going by common sense. Nothing that Lara has said in the past. Who would quit their 20 dollar an hr job to do the same job for 10.

                  And he shouldn't fight GGG for $500,000 That's not a serious offer. Lara is far more accomplished than Wade. You're making assumptions but can't point to a single case where Lara has ever been a diva about money. If you're going to make assumptions at least have an example to back it up.

                    Depends on what your definition of diva is. There are times when 2 sides are so far apart on negotiations that it's pointless to even begin negotiating. I believe this is one of those cases. Because GGG's team is going to look at GGG as the A side. We've seen it happen a million times. It's what's happening now with GGG Canelo.

                    And Lara is going to have to do what GGG did to earn his shot. And that's make himself the mandatory. So that means campaigning at 160 and winning some title eliminators.
