People were saying Jacobs deserved 40% vs GGG. You're saying Lara is a bigger star than Jacobs, so would you say Lara deserves 50/50 with GGG then?

You guys make me laugh, man. Lara sold 2,500 tickets one of his recent fights. GGG sells 20,000. And yet Lara still wants a big payday. And he still won't fight at 160. He could have called out Jacobs, beaten Jacobs, and gotten the mandatory spot for GGG a year ago if he really wanted to fight GGG.

Well done for a fight with Foreman..I'd call out Saunders next.Whoever has that 160 belt is going to be in a great position by early 2018

Lara vs. GGG/Jacobs winner - make it happen

These numbers are interesting for the mere reason of I believe the Showtime card did about the same number give or take. So a garbage fight on basic cable does about the same as the #2 premium cable network with a good fight these days it looks like.

Not bad those are Loma numbers on hbo

Pretty good standards for Lara considering he's not the most exciting fighter to watch in most of his outings...
