Comments Thread For: Are Canelo, Golden Boy Headed For Standoff With DAZN?

Nelo can with sign with another network

That’s not how contracts work....he would have to buy it out if he went that route, that’s iff dazn is antes to accept the money gbp offer them....or they can always have a lengthy legal process that keeps Canelo out of the ring for a good 2-5 years in which he would never regain form.

If John Skipper didn't include financial penalty clauses in Canelo and GGG's contracts, in the event of them turning down fights in their own division that DAZN wanted to make, then Skipper is not fit to be CEO of the company and should be fired.

I extremely doubt Canelo would sign something like that where he has ZERO control over his career. Especially when he can make close to the same on PPV. Even more with the right opponent.

... Yes... sure...

I brined my ribs this weekend and was texting my cousin how to do it so it auto corrected to brining 🤣🤣

DAZN = A side

Canelo = Bytch side


You fight who we want no questions asked.

Absolutely. The trilogy fight has to be next. GGG has nothing to prove so he doesn't need to go find another belt. Both guys are contractually obligated to support DAZN's interests, not their own.

He made more from PPVs against GGG than from anybody else in his career. And guess what .. he had to fight GGG to get that money.

I've wondered this myself. They over-pay him, expecting certain fights, and he pulls this shyt?
I'm sure the "A-side" ****** will chime in.

Nelo aint over payed. dazn & Sissy-G need to man up & fight other fighters like Boo Boo.

Well, its not that he gives up full control of his career, but if he wants that DAZN money, then yeah, he'll fight who he's told. Why would anyone expect that a fighter would get hundreds of millions of guaranteed money with no conditions?

Kofkd and you actually make excellent points....from the perspectives of both dazn and golden boy. It’s quite the pickle....a true Mexican standoff. We are seeing the true weakness of the dazn model here. There is little difference of reward between lesser fights and what is in effect ppv level fights

What did DAZN expect to happen when they invested 300 million dollars in a overrated ducker hypejob who came to fame for being a red headed Mexican, nothing else, and then bartered that fame into corrupt judging and favorable matchmaking, including only facing top fighters like GGG once they were 35 years old? No one but Mexican fans and hardcore racist boxing fans who hate GGG like Canelo, everyone else remembers him ducking the prime version of GGG, and ruining a great matchup, to instead give the fans a past its sell by date, half-cooked version of the same fight years later, or, they don't follow boxing anyway.

It seems like everything wrong with boxing is coming to a head here, and DAZN is ground zero. They made their bed signing this hypejob, now they're stuck with him.

FOH with your lying ass, bob arum supporting ass, don't know shet bout boxing ass.
