Comments Thread For: Canelo's Deal With DAZN is 11 Fights, $365 Million Guarantee

[filup79]

365 million is the biggest contract in sports history. Canelo can literally **** on anyone in sports. I'm sure he loves that.

How is it the biggest when Floyd was guaranteed 300 million for less fights and actually made more than that. Canelos 365 million is for 10 fights in 5 years.

Because 365 million is higher than 300 million.

It's the biggest in terms of overall gross. Not necessarily bigger per fight due to the division of the guarantee.. but still a bigger gross

Wow that is alot money I wonder what the contract says if canelo losses is it still guarenteed like basketball or baseball

Thats still a higher guarante than what mayweather got on showtime but it made the diffierence when ppv was added

Actually it's not more than what Floyd was guaranteed. Floyd got 300 mil for 6 fights. Canelo is getting 365 mil for 10 fights. It averages about 50 mil per fight for Floyd and 36 mil per fight for Canelo. Canelo is pretty gonna make what he usually makes per fight.

This **** is ******ed money !!!!

Are you joking? That’s great news for Hearn.

DAZN just got a huge boost in terms of profile, most likely subscribers, and legitimacy, and he controls most their boxing budget.

You guys are bitter as ****

good point

the thing is, that deal got signed real fast

my guess is, nobody else offered anything close to 365mil

that is ridiculous

11 days ago, Oscar said this.....

"Currently Canelo has no contract with anyone, so we are now in a unique position. Now my job as promoter is to negotiate those contracts and take [the fight] to the appropriate television network...... The first thing is that we are going to talk to HBO in the next few days when we return to Los Angeles and we will determine the future of Canelo, which is very bright."

F.ucking crazy didn’t see this coming at all , They now gotnthe 2 biggest stars in the sport on their platform

DAZN just whipped their d.ick out and made a big statement

Props to Canelo he’s getting paid , Damn 73 mil a year is insane

I don’t know if Canelo has enough name opponets in the next 5 years to make this worthwhile or if people will sign up in droves but DAZN isn’t f.ucking around

2019 should be interesting for the sport to see how the 3 players ( PBC, Espn , Dazn ) move and who comes out on top after the dust settles

DAZN? More like DAZAAAMN!

exactly wtf ???

that is ridiculous

it's not about average..... the question was, is it the biggest deal ?

365 > 300

that is ridiculous wtf ???

[lefthooklead]

That's what they're banking on, if not Canelo is stuck there for 5 years. A 2-year deal would have been smart because after 2 years we'll basically know if this thing is gonna be successful.

It doesn't really matter if it is successful though, really. He's guaranteed that..

Remember, boxing is just the tip of the iceberg for DAZN.
