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

Scary scat? You're an idiot!!

The beauty of being your own man

DAZN needed to make a splash, so they showed Canelo the money (for his US TV rights, and the rights to the other 7 countries that DAZN is available in, with Canelo keeping Mexico to himself).

In a similar way to the Floyd-Showtime/CBS deal, DAZN doesn't have to stand Canelo fighting an out-and-out bum, but it's clear as day that they aren't calling the fights to Canelo.

With Andrade, Kovalev, Callum Smith, Munguia (Mexican vs Mexican on Mexican Independence Day weekend), Jermall Charlo, and Golovkin all as viable fight options to him, to name the obvious ones, pressing Canelo isn't going to amount to much (and it's not like folks won't tune in without Golovkin either).

Well I was expecting some facts in the article, after reading it I couldn’t see any quotes or genuine facts from any sides, this article mirrored exactly what one of the posters on here wrote last week. One of the LDBC guys on here. I know Keith idec is borderline on close to the other side so am not shocked by this article that has zero facts in it.

while I do not believe this article is disingenuous in any way..... I do not believe there is much truth in it

the one fact we do know.....

nothing in Canelo's contract binds him to a trilogy fight with Golovkin
//krikya360.com/canelo-n...rilogy--138326

that means..... that neither Skipper, nor anyone else not-named Canelo..... has the final say on his opponent selection

there will be no stand-off with DAZN

the very worst possible scenario for DAZN..... is that they will have to approve a good/very good, opponent for Canelo..... who is not-named Golovkin

then DAZN will have to approve Golovkin's next opponent

which will be hilarious

[aboutfkntime]

this is the funny part to me.....

everybody is freaking out over who will be Canelo's next opponent

so long as it aint Munguia..... I don't really care

because ALL of the other options mentioned so far are very good

what intrigues me far more is.....

FACT: Canelo will NOT be fighting Golovkin next..... so, who will Golovkin select?

that is FAR most interesting to me LMAO

If DAZN wants to make Alvarez/Golovkin III, then Alvarez/Golvkin III it will be. John Skipper DAZN's chairman holds all the cards. After all, it's DAZN's money Canelo is spending. DAZN is Ginger's boss and employer and he better not forget it.

Just like HBO; DAZN are matchmakers as well. They paid Canelo that inflated amount of money in order for him to fight the fights that they want to see and it just so happens that Gennady Golovkin is one of those fights they would like to see.

Canelo has to remember that he is no longer his own boss anymore. DAZN literally owns his ass.

No one knows what is in the contract, not lofflaer or whatever his name is. Canelo himself wouldn’t come out and say “Yes” it’s in my contract to fight GGG in response to Lofflaer, nor would skipper.

So all these article is doing is just speculating. Canelo is in control of his career and to be honest am sure he would fight GGG again once GGG realise that things aren’t going to go his away at the negotiating table.

Canelo is the younger boxer, he has time to waste if GGG wants to play the “Demand” game.

GGG need to go fight someone worth mentioning. The fact that Canelo is around makes GGG not want to risk anything. And I don’t understand why, I don’t see anyone beating him to be honest, Charlo isn’t beating IMHO, Demetrius Andrade would give him issues with the constant movement thing but he would not get the decision unless he stands in the pocket and stops GGG.

OK... Let's pretend that DAZN makes Canelo-GGG 3 next... Let's pretend that:
1) GGG wins... Then what next?... GGG-Canelo 4, 5 etc?...
2) Canelo wins... Then he only has Andrade at 160... And then who? (because Jermall got his belt in order to stay where he is now)...

Good post. We fans pay up front for a fight then get what we get. I’d be surprised if there was any language in nelos contract with dazn that can be legally argued that they hold the stroke on match making. Pay for ten fights and u will get ten fights nothing more. They gambled he will be worth it no matter what. They want subs now, and I don’t blame them. But Nelo runs boxing. If dazn doesn’t like his fight choices it’s not like they can badmouth them and belittle their own profit. Are they gonna say they screwed up? Gbp also may know how to keep Nelo unbeaten and relevant through this whole contract hence working out for dazn?

I do !!

FACT: Canelo said this..... "There is no clause in my contract that forces me to fight against Golovkin"

FACT: Canelo signed his contract with DAZN before Golovkin did..... nobody knew Golovkin would sign with DAZN at that point

it is clearly obvious that Canelo selects his opponents

I am also 100% positive that Golovkin has the final say on his opponent selection..... no fighter would ever be ****** enough to sign away that right

I am almost 100% positive that unless Golovkin wins a title NEXT (Andrade or Charlo)..... then Canelo will never fight him again



you do not need to read between the lines..... that is what Canelo said

if a trilogy fight never happens..... it is 100% Golovkin's fault

he knew what he had to do
