Comments Thread For: Lara's Manager on The Possibility of Facing Gennady Golovkin

[Robbie Barrett]

Lil Ginas fear Lara so much, he's the real boogeyman not Lil G.

I'm not so sure DeCubas isn't one of these guys who keeps posting in the GGG threads..he sure sounds like them at least.

[jqSide]

I don't even know why they're making a fool of themselves asking millions of dollars from a guy who they admit is a ppv disaster.

Lara is the biggest joke of them all. At least the others don't pretend to want GG and don't use twitter as much. He claims to want GG, but he wants $4-5 million doe when his bluff is called. He'll be another laughing stock in no time.

[jqSide]

But what do you think Lara is worth? Let's establish a ducking threshold here

That's what I want to know as well. How much is a running man like Lara is really worth in a GG fight?

Lara is not some random young hungry "challenger" desperate enough to blow anyone in the room to get a title shot. Lara is a champion himself. He's a 33 year old man and has accomplished more than Golovkin. Pugilistically speaking, he would be fighting Golovkin at least on equal standing. He's in an excellent enough financial position not be a beggar. It's always been about the money, and Lara has been consistent in saying that. Just because you called out someone, it doesn't mean, you have take less than what you're worth. And there's been no specific number thrown out by Decubas so far that anyone can claim to be unreasonable. (Other than people pretending that Lara is asking for 4 million dollars). Lara should be no hungrier than Golovkin, a guy who actually should be desperate to fight anyone worth a damn. And if you remember correctly, the actual original context over everyone happy of the prospect of a GGG vs Lara when Lara first called him was that GGG himself was supposed be the hungry guy willing to fight anyone no matter what it took. Somehow along the way though, the narrative changed to GGG being a gift god and nobody is worthy enough to wipe his ass, let alone call him out.



That's the whole point of the conversation. You're being deliberately dense.

Hero Bando, please tell your friend to stop embarrassing himself. Reflects badly on all of you.

DeCubas says they have no contractual ties to Showtime, but they can only make an offer using Showtime, ooooooook. But DiBella's wrong, there isn't any network issues... DeCubas completely side-steps the idea of him contacting K2 with a price they're willing to fight on HBO for.

Lara's not hungry period and he's vastly overpaid based on his attendance & tv ratings. DeCubas is happy to brag about how they got paid $1mill in hedge fund money to fight a retired-WW in Delvin Rodriguez and how he allegedly sold out 2,500 seats to fight another retired-WW in Jan Zaveck. But yeah he's hungry.....

Lemieux the fight before Lil G drew a audience of 163k, he was paid 1.5 mil. Something similar would be fine i'm sure.

[285Kid]

Damn looks like If GGG beats Brook He could be fight all around the world , Jorge Sebastian Heiland vs GGG in Buenos Aires, Argentina if he beat Brook...

You may be sure but his manager thinks Crawford got paid way less. If only you were Lara's manager. Even you can probably replace that imbecile

Why are you sure? His manager just scoffed at Crawford's 1.3m purse.

Lemieux brought a belt. That's valuable. His headliner vs Rosado on Hbo did like like 2x anything Lara has posted besides A side Pwill and Lemieux even did significantly better than that. That's cause viewers like watching Lemieux much better than Lara

Golovkin/Lara is such an ****** fight. Erislandy gets BADLY rocked in no more than 7 rounds. At this point GGG has ABSOLUTELY no business in fighting Super Welterweights or even fckin welterweights (smh). Why people are even entertaining these fckery fights is beyond me.

For fcks sake people wake up! GGG needs to challenge himself and KO fools in higher weight divisions, not LOWER!
