Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Promoter: No Word From Lara and His Team

[Loque-san]

What do you mean?
If Lara's daddy lets him on HBO then the fight can happen.
What aren't you understanding about this?
Are you new to the English language?
I'm assuming that you are an adult and don't have any learning disabilities.

Then tell your uncle Tom LaFleur to talk to his masters Al Haymon and Ken Hershman. What is he waiting for?

Dude. GGG is a very active fighter. Surely fighting Monroe is better than not fighting at all right?

I would never bust on a fighter for staying active. I respect GGG a heck of a lot more than Andre "I fight twice a decade" Ward.

Does anyone know when the deadline for the mandatory is between Cotto-GGG?

[The Big Dunn]

Not true.

Lets see. I'm sure Cotto will have to pay 7 figures to GGG to allow the Canelo fight or be stripped.

Really? What MW could he have fought that he hasn't fought?

We will see about the strippage. I don't know.

He doesn't have to limit himself to MW's.

you gotta love these NSB armchair managers/promoters

Seriously, they agree with Bob Arum who is the best in the business. You don't need to be a promoter to see someone doing a ****ty job of it. Matchmaking isn't even promoting, it has nothing to do with marketing. We're saying "This guy is way more well known than that guy and is better.

Are you saying because I don't play pro-basketball or football I don't know the Patriots playing the Broncos is way more ratings and a better game than the Patriots playing the Buccaneers? FFS man, this isn't rocket science and we can call someone out on their bull****, you don't need a promoters license.

Yeah, he didn't want to sign a long term deal with Bob/TR, he didn't rebuff GGG for fear of fighting him. Him losing to Fonfara has no bearing on the real reason the GGG/Chavez jr fight didn't materialize.

So, as I said to Neetzche, please do not over exaggerate or mischaracterize why that fight didn't happen to fit the "GGG can't find quality opposition" agenda.

It wasnt a long term deal, it was Ggg + another fight, at 12/17m. Confirmed by his manager. Amazing deal, way better than sitting out, then getting thumped by a fringe guy for a fraction

Right, he turned down a great financial deal that also involved him fighting Golovkin and 1 more fight for Top Rank.

I'll put two and two together, unlike you.

If he was so adamant on fighting Golovkin like you seem to think he is, where are his words? Where are his challenges over twitter? He says and does nothing to show his interest, he doesn't want the fight. He's even telling Golovkin to move up and fight LHW's because he's so butthurt about his loss to Fonfara

The fact Fonfara shut his fat mouth was icing on the cake.

WHy is "Active" ok for you instead of challenging himself? You wouldn't accept staying "active" for a fighter you didn't like.

[BattlingNelson]

I want to see him be a challenge seeker and hold titles in multiple divisions to increase the universe of potential challengers.

That's fair enough. I just happen to disagree. I like the Hagler way better. Particularly when there's unfinished business in the natural division of the boxer.

[Beater_of_ass]

Cotto doesn't want any part of Golovkin.
Cotto knows that night ends in pain.
Nobody storms out of the ring like a little b*tch after catching an L like Miguel Cotto lol

You're calling Cotto the b*tch when he's in his 4th weightclass and GGG is calling out WW's as a MW. Literally, he just called out Floyd Mayweather, a guy he'd have 25 pounds on and Cotto is the b*tch...

BWAHAHA!!!!!

[HeroBando]

LOL. Not at all. This is the best year in boxing that I can remember. Floyd/Pac, Canelo/Cotto, boxing on network TV, etc.

What would make this year even better is to see GGG join the fun and accomplish something extraordinary.

Hes gotta have willing partners. Lets hope Froch sacks up, thats Gggs best bet at this point.
