Can you imagine Floyd/Lara brother? Lara/Trout was bad enough. @bzkfn is right. This is to get his manic contender friend another payday.
After seeing how easily Canelo shut down Angulo, my opinion of Lara has gone down a little.
Lara, I believe, will still have an easy time with Smith. I don't think Floyd would deliberately feed his friend to Lara, so I think Floyd sees something about Lara that Smith can take advantage of. Of course nobody knows what's happening inside of Floyd's head.
Floyd is a promoter, so I don't see anything wrong with him putting Smith on the card, especially if he's a friend. Smith is not a bum, and if Angulo can find Lara so can Smith but with different results, of course.
I don't think Floyd is doing Smith any favor myself.
