Comments Thread For: Canelo: Nothing in My Contract Binds Me To Golovkin Trilogy

[Bjl12]

Borat wants ANOTHER payday after all the trash he talked?

Yeah right. Earn it the hard way. Like real men do. You know, Mexican style

...or is that something you're unable to do? LFMAO

he's an employee under contract. He'll do what they say.

Wrong! Canelo will do what is in his best interest in accordance with the contract. Unless Canelo is lying the contract with does not specifically state that he must fight GGG. You are also wrong on a second point. He is not an employee of DAZN. He is an independent contractor -- big difference. Here is a link explaining it.

Golovkin is stylistically incomplete yet you had to cheat to lose to him twice.

Mike Tyson was "stylistically incomplete" so was George Foreman, Julio Cesar Chavez Sr., Robert Duran and just about every other fighter.

be sensible, obviously there's nothing in his contract that says he has to fight ggg specifically, especially since ggg signed his contract after Canelo did... But if you don't think they can't tell him who his next fight is against, regardless of opponent, you're being gullible. They're not paying him all that money to give him the right to decline high grossing fights.

DAZN has already recouped its investment. It put them on the map on this side of the Atlantic. With Canelo, they gained tons of publicity, credibility, and access to Latin American markets and fighters, as well as to Golden Boy's stable of fighters. Theirs is a long game strategy.

if that were truly the case, they wouldn't have changed their entire subscription policy so early into their existance. No way canelo has recouped that money for them as of yet. Not even close.

this is true, but canelo also has a say, they both need to sit and talk and evaluate, dazn shouldnt have a problem if canelo fights andrade first and then ggg, is not like he is trying to fight a rolls or something...

No, no Rolls. He already fought his Rolls in Fielding. Problem is GGG is getting old and if Caneo fights Andrade after Jacobs then GGG fight might not happen until May 2020. And its a bit too late..the interest will significantly decline by then. And I'd be the first to say that Canelo is likely to outpoint GGG at that stage without much controversy

Canelo would K.O GGG next year

And brutally

he's locked up for his next 11 fights (9 after Jacobs) and they're under Dazn. Try to use semantics all you want but he's still an employee. An independent contractor can make their own decisions about where they want to work and for whom and on a job by job basis. Canelo can't. He can't choose what to do on a fight by fight basis for the next 5 yrs. He's contracted to Dazn. Just like an athlete who signs to play for a specific team. They're under contract and don't have the ability to move freely. Nice try though.

the way khan, fielding, and Chavez Jr earned fights with Canelo? Stop it. Ggg has put himself in a position where he is still the biggest grossing fight available to Canelo whether you or he likes it or not. If Dazn says ggg is next up... Guess what? He's next.

wtf are you talking about? ggg just took a 9 month layoff only to comeback vs rod salka, the man is aging him self...
canelos career doesnt revolve around ggg, he is trying to become undisputed...

But it does financially, Canelo currently will not get a bigger payday from any other fight except GGG. Being undisputed is meaning less simply because MOST fans and experts think he lost the fight fight (and the PED issues dog that also) and the 2nd fight is somewhat contested (as a GGG fan i think he lost a close one to Canelo thou).

So yes at this current point in time financially his career DOES revolve around GGG till a bigger purse comes along to change that.
