Seriously though.... Why won't GGG fight Lara?

[Jubei]

Wow. You mean as soon as Loeffler started contacting Haymon, Decubas is suddenly asking whether GGG can fight on Showtime? Is he not the same guy who said Lara can fight everywhere, and can even fight in Kazakhstan?

Yep, the GGG haters are running out of excuses here. Lara is getting EXPOSED as the next ducking Fraud. Same as Danny Jacobs. Same as Billy Joe Saunders. Same as Carl Froch.

Says the guy who believes GGG is a super hero.

I'm trying to end this discussion but you keep reviving it. I already know what you're going to say.

"Lara has no fans doe"
"Lara is boring doe"
"Lara got dropped by Angulo doe"
"Lara would get destroyed anyway doe"

I am not getting into these back and forths with you radical Golovkin extremists anymore.

Then you shouldn't be offering ill considered opinions if unwilling to stand behind them, or revise when proven so wrong

Lara demands a certain amount of money, more than he himself generates as a prizefighter, and more than could be profitably supported during and up to promotion of fight. When a promoter doesn't want to take a loss to make it happen, the A-side fighter has the option to take less money in order to sweeten the b-side's pot...

So tell us what Lara demanded....

I don't know exactly what Lara was offered, but I will use my deductive reasoning skills here. We know Lara's purses for his most recent fights, we have data on attendance and other things. Those shows probably lost money, since they were PBC time buys and no one was in the crowd.

Lara certainly wants more for a GGG fight than he got paid previously. Can't blame him either, he wants to get paid. However, compromise likely is needed somewhere on the $$. Lara is unknown to all but the hardcore fans and doesn't have much of a fan base in the US. He's not a draw, not a money generator. If he was, wouldn't he be able to draw in locations w/ sizeable Cuban communities?

It's basic...Lara doesn't bring anything to the table but credibility from the (hardcore) boxing world. I'd like to see the fight even though I don't see Lara having any chance at winning.

Why won't the Charlo twins, Andrade, Jacobs, Mayfeather, etc fight Lara???

Good question. If his own stable mates are not interested in fighting him, why expect others in other stables to fight him?

It's a vicious cycle. That's why boxing is dead.
