Why does Lara want.......

[Eastcoast]

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

Less than Golovkin/Lemieux.

3m. Maybeeee 4.

Golovkin will never be a great A-side imo. He's from the wrong nation and started in US late. Not enough time to build crossover appeal. He'll make a GREAT B-side against a huge seller - he's a known commodity and has a fan friendly style. If Floyd was a few years younger, or if Manny was 15 lbs bigger, those fights would sell very well.

I hope I'm wrong and he goes on to fight Canelo next year, then proceeds to sell 500K PPVs by himself. I just seriously doubt it.

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

Brook was paid 5million by his own promoter, not by K2.

Lara could get the same amount as Brook if his promoter would pay him that much, like Brook's did.

lets say it is 3 million..can they not do 1.75 for GGG and 1.25 for Lara?..just to get the fight made?

Why would they do that? What would be in it for them?

Nobody knows who Lara is and he wouldn't last as long with GGG as Brook did. And unlike GGG/Brook, GGG/Lara wouldn't even be a good, exciting fight while it lasted.

And that's assuming Lara even wants to fight GGG for the kind of money you're talking about there. His manager didn't seem too keen when he was asked about it.

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

Is Lara even a MW and has he even fought a MW contender?

But yeah, I'd like to see some better fighters having the guts to step in to GGG without prizing thenselves out. I mean the big money can come after they beat GGG. Thats how it normally works. Not with GGG though. He has to take less than what he is worth for even getting an opponent.

GGG is unreal. He is the most avoided fighter I can remember in all my years in boxing. Its not even like you hear any of his opponents wanting a rematch. None wants a return. Why? Because they know full well that they will get ktfo again and the second time will be a careerbreaker and for less money. Unreal.

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 cared about Wade and Monroe Jr?????????

GGG had no problem fighting them.

I dont mind the Lara fight even though it has a potential to be dull, but if, as I expect, GGG gives Lara a ktfo, it would put even more pressure on Canelo.

However what is also clear is that after Lara gets flattened, the usual suspects will come with the usual stuff ie Lara is not a real mw.... You just know that.s gonna happen.

Less than Golovkin/Lemieux.

Clearly less. No canadian ppv here. Lets say the total purse will be about 75% of GGG/Lemieux.

He's avoided until it comes to Lara....then you change tunes and it's all about "Who is Lara"??

He turned down 10 mil to fight 5'7 Canelo

He ducked the hell outta' Ward...despite all the anybody from "154 to 168" crap.

He even turned down a Mora fight on HBO to fight Adama off TV....

He's unreal alright...
