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

[Robbie Barrett]

According to Sky, the poll was to determine the position of each figher:



You lost it, period. The poll was to determine who was the #1 ranked fighter, as stated by Sky.

It doesn't say it's to determine the P4P #1 you spastic, making it multiple choice pretty much confirms it wasn't. You're so dumb it's hilarious, it's true what they say about racists being dumb.

Like many people were saying at the time, the over-inflated purses Haymon was paying his fighters when they first signed with him will be bad for boxing, and Haymon himself, in the longer term.

I think the Charlos are jealous of Lara who has been getting truckloads of money fighting Zaveck level opponents. It will never make sense for Charlo to fight Williams for less than $1 million when Lara got $1 million for fighting Zaveck.

he is not a welterweight.

His past 33 opponents weren't welterweights either.

Odd, vacuous reply. Guess you're determined to hold on to your fairytale

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.

Who on Golovkins resume is more skilled than Lara?

What does your definition of "skilled" have to do with anything? Who is a more prominent potshotting mover? Nobody. Not many people in the sport are more known for utilizing a slapping jab while on a dead sprint than Lara. What you should be asking yourself is does anyone on Golovkins resume have a better win than Trout. Thats a real discussion. Because otherwise you might as well argue about any style of fighter vs Golovkin. I mean, has he REALLY faced a better face first brawler than (insert name here)? Styles when the fighters themselves are irrelevant become irrelevant.

Lara's manager Decubas already explained why this fight is not easy to make. I don't get why these fanboys still keep pushing for this fight when Lara's team itself is already hinting they will make the fight hard to happen.

What's else is there to discuss when Lara's camp is basically saying they don't want the fight and were just pretending they do.

Boxing is dying.

I'd like to see the fight, but will Haymon do business with HBO (unless it's a mandatory like Wade)?

Nope Decubas said the fight is not easy to make because of GGG camp and their exclusive contract. So they can only hope for GGG side to send contract because they are the one tie to a network.

So is all about GGG camp, Lara camp wants it, now is GGG who need to take the first step, but it looks like they they want no part.

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....
