OK so what's the plan? It's obvious fighters want to be overpaid to fight him. Fighters can continue to fight around him and get paid just as much as K2 is offering. He's about to be 35. Will there come a point where they overpay for a fighter to get good name on his resume? Or is the plan to continue complaining?

No announcement yet.
So Lara made $1 Million against Canelo, why isn't Lara fighting GGG for same money?

Thanks for the info.
Considering GGG is not a draw, according to his detractors here, then Lara should have significantly less here. That must follow by GGG detractor logic. Probably in the 600K region.
Now I would like to know how much Lara is demanding to face GGG so we can determine if he in essense is pricing himself out.
So. How much does he want?

So who do you have in mind for Lara's next fight then?

Well then if K2 made no offer than all this talk is for nothing.
Laras manager must have thought it was serious enough to be reaching for all those excuses

Lara made $1 Million against Canelo (only Canelo himself got Upside of the PPV money)

Now Lara's manager comes out with the following statement:
Lara has been vocal about fighting the most feared middleweight in the world, IBO/WBA/IBF/WBC champion Gennady Golovkin. According to the manager, there might be a plan to move up to 160 but not just yet:
"Lara's the type of fighter that doesn't need to fight 3 fights to move up in weight," explained DeCubas, Jr. "When the gates open for 160 he'll move up whether its Golovkin or rematch with Canelo, Danny Jacobs, or Billy Saunders. There's a lot of big fights there but for now he's going to keep defending his title because he wants to break the record for the most title defenses"
So how much would a possible Golovkin-Lara fight cost and would it be in the budget of HBO?
"Showtime definitely has the budget but can Golovkin fight on Showtime? I'm not sure what the budget is on HBO. Lara commands a lot of money so I cant say the fight will be simple to make. We got to make more money than what he's made in the past for Golovkin."
Lara, in one of his latest fights fought Jan Zaveck at a Park Race Track in Florida and reportedly only sold 200 tickets for this fight, it's not like his fanbase got any bigger since losing to Canelo and fighting the likes of Zaveck, Ishe Smith, Delvin Rodriguez and winning a razor thin decision against Martirosyan.
Why doesn't Lara want to face GGG for the same money he got against Canelo?

Originally posted by Motorcity Cobra View PostSo what's the plan besides complaining? Brook is getting the same amount of money Saunders asked for. Saunders would've taken the fight for that amount of money. Maybe if this fight with Brook is a big success GGG should buy out his contract with K2 and go to a promoter who can pay to get the big fights he wants, like Matchroom. Canelo said he has no problem fighting in the UK. If GGG were with Hearn he'd put up enough money to bring him over. K2 isn't even in position to offer Canelo a fight.
