Why does Lara want.......

[Larry the boss]

Ok. Just give Lara 100% of the UK television rights. Hell throw in the Cuban rights also.

That should make you happy right Larry? Thats what you ask for right?

do what it takes to get GGG in the damn ring with elite fighters..are you not tired of his bull**** fights?

[Larry the boss]

Brook (and Golovkin) brought a lot of UK audience that helped both to get around 5 millions purse, as reported (maybe a bit less probably).

Lara cannot generate ratings or sell seats, therefore he won't be getting anything above 1 million. That's how it works.

So you are happy with them taking 0 risks to get meaningful fights??

[Dean_Razorback]

If Brook can get 5 million then hell Lara can get 1.5-2 million

lara got 1 million from canelo on a PPV fight and according to everyone canelo is a the biggest draw in boxing, how is he gonna get more from GGG??

use your brain for once

GGG got 2 million to fight Wade man..so the money is obviously there..hell he got 1.5 to fight Willie Monroe

newsflash...no one outside of diehard fans care about Lara, let alone care to see them two fight.

its an interesting fight strictly because of Lara's pedigree...but not so interesting to where I'll suggest the A-side take a pay cut to make it happen.

Who do you mean by "them" ??

I expect fighters to fight the best at their division.

You could find a better excuse. You know very well that Brook wouldn't get 5 millions against GGG in USA. He got paid that well because boxing is big in the UK and he's one of the biggest boxing stars there. I'm embarassed for having to explain it to you.

Yeah, now think through what you said. Golovkin/Monroe purses were 1.6m total. Wade/Golovkin was 2.5m

Lara's wants more than he got from Canelo (1m).

In best case scenario, he wants the lion's share of the purses. Worst case scenario, Golovkin has to pay Lara out of his own pocket.

It still makes me laugh that you people are trying to blame Golovkin instead of going after idiots like BJS, Lara and Jacobs who say crazy **** like this. "blah blah i want golovkin to prove himself and get meaningful fights blah blah i dont care about business."

what do you think the purse would be for GGG-Lara?

[Eastcoast]

If you want to get guys like Lara to take fights with GGG, then stop paying them $1mill to fight guys like Delvin Rodriguez. Don't pay Danny Jacobs $1.5mill to fight Peter Quillin when they can't even sell 8k tickets or get 400k people to watch on tv. Tell Haymon to stop making the market so damn unrealistic.

In a normal world, those guys should be jumping to make that kind of money fighting a guy like GGG.
