I want to see this fight but it is the classic mix of high risk and low reward or it's something else ?

Probably that you and badhusker are the only people that want to see it. Not to mention andrade is obviously a ward in negotiations.

Lara would probably prefer to compete in a title unification bout and receive a much bigger payday, against an easier opponent, for a fight that will actually be broadcast on American TV... and I'd do the same thing if I was in his shoes.

There's no incentive for anyone to fight Demetrius Andrade, since he brings nothing to the table - no resume, no prestige, no activity, no fame, no money, no belts, no business acumen, no charisma, no ability to sell fights, no major promoter, no TV network coverage, no fan base etc.

Perhaps I've embellished things slightly, but the point I've made should be blatantly obvious.

Public safety; it would surely create a Rumplestillskin effect.

They would need to distribute free energy drinks to ticket buyers, so that they don't fall asleep.

The only road block is a near complete lack of interest from fans, media and networks.
