Lara doesn't know his worth. He's acting like he's some star in boxing who thinks a fight with Golovkin would be this mega fight. His own manager Luis DeCubas aka Porky the Pig, came out months ago and said they wouldn't accept $1M for a Golovkin fight because "That's what they got against Delvin".
Who do they think they are? They have a fighter who puts up terrible ratings, stinks up the joint and gets booed out of the building in all of his fights, and now wants more than he's worth.
The reality is that Lara has a 23-2-2 record. He's not marketable and He's not elite. He's not P4P and that's OK because neither were the guys that you mentioned that fought Golovkin. The difference is the expectations. Lara's side is expecting over $1M for a fighter that doesn't deserve it.
