Per Fat Boy Dan

Although former unified middleweight world champion Gennady Golovkin has been negotiating a multi-fight deal with DAZN for months that would include a rematch with Canelo Alvarez in September, it’s been very difficult to close the deal. The talks are “moving along at its continued snail pace,” a source with knowledge of the talks told ESPN. “Nothing is imminent.”
Do Coppinger and Rafael actually hate each other or they just have a little twitter rivalry? Because I've seen more than a few pictures of them together at fights. Granted, they don't decide the press seating, but they seem cool with each other at fights.
You took another L too. Saw something you wished was true so believed it regardless of the source, put your own spin on it, turned out to be 100% wrong
My spin? I posted what Fat Boy Dan said. Only thing I commented is what's going on why hasn't he signed it's been 5 months of reports he is going to sign with DAZN. I never said he wouldn't sign. Don't shoot the messenger for BS Fat Boy Dan reported.

Mike Coppinger trolling him hard right now :rofl:

ESPN is wrong, the deal is basically done. It will get finalized soon enough. No major holdups, I’m told https://t.co/BFtXXicHLS— Mike Coppinger (@MikeCoppinger) March 7, 2019
Exactly....i feel like that makes him feel bigger than wat he is...He not a ppv star he needs quailty opponent
That applies to most people though.
Even Canelo's numbers aren't impressive when he's fighting guys like Liam Smith. Apparently not many signed up to watch him fight Fielding for free. Canelo did about 5x or 6x more when he fought GGG than he does against lesser opposition like Smith.
I don't think there's any fighter in the world right that does consistently good numbers regardless of opponent, except probably Joshua in the UK but then the prices are much cheaper.
Floyd was the last true PPV star in USA that could do consistently good numbers no matter who he fought.
I think ggg probably measures himself against Canelo in terms of contracts and he’s not getting offered that. I think in terms of longevity he almost broke the record for defenses at mw and he wants that respected and to be paid like the legend he sees himself as. But his numbers aren’t the same and he’s old so he won’t get a ten + fight deal and I hope he learns that.
and some ggg fanboys complained when canelo picked jacobs, canelo ducking ggg doe, why he doesnt wait for ggg 2 more weeks doe .... hopefully canelo fights andrade after jacobs...
no offense...i understand theres good money involved for all parties if it does well...but does anyone care to see canelo/golvokin 3? golovkin cant do any better...and he lost last time out....golovkin cant beat him
dazn cares, and thats the only thing that matters since they put the money... if ggg wants to earn big, he has to give dazn what they want... no more fighting bums in hbo, those days are gone, jacobs, canelo, andrade are what dazn wants for ggg..
Depends what he's asking for.
Like it or not the biggest Canelo as an A side PPVs had GGG as the B side. That gives GGG leverage & power in negotiations.
Exactly....i feel like that makes him feel bigger than wat he is...He not a ppv star he needs quailty opponent
GGG - "dazn listen, I need gurateeed win, I need this, look at me, I cant beat canelo, Me fake mexicans style, look at me, listen, I need guranteed win"
DAZN - "we cant guranteed you victories GGG, but we can get you the fight you want for TOP DOLLAR, by the time you finish this deal, you would have a had 3rd try vs Canelo, and 2 other high profile fight netting you well over 40 MILLION DOLLARS, what do you say GGG?"
GGG - "look at me, im not mexican style, I cant win, Canelo too good, I need guranteed win vs canelo"
Fat Dan - "DAZN, whats the hold up with the GGG deal"
Dazn - "He just a bitch ass nukka"
:haha::haha:

Lol fair play. Fat Dan's "rumors" do come out as wrong far more often than you'd expect for a guy in his position.
That said we have been hearing about GGG & DAZN for quite awhile now & no deal has been announced with DAZN or anyone else so logically we can assume something is up without even getting into the rumor angle.
Yeah
But then again, Abel Sanchez said a couple of weeks ago that GGG is on vacation with his family away from boxing and news will come.
If someone that close to him isn't expecting an announcement imminently, then the rest of us shouldn't be.
Not that the Fat One and Steve Kimmy are both shilling hard for espn, I wonder if they've kissed and made up and gotten over their various online hissy fits over the years?
Scared to death to have to go through Andrade just to get to the winner of the fight between Jacobs and Canelo, both of which beat him.
I don't even think he gets by Andrade lol.

Like Oscar De La Hoya said, GGG is hard to negotiate with because he thinks he’s an A side star but his PPV numbers show he’s not.
Let him go promote his own fights like Mayweather and take all the risk.
You are just a guy who loves to hate on GGG for no reason. Why would he fight a couple of bums? There is neither money nor glory in that. Your post makes no sense and you have no idea who GGG will fight next. Why don't you just STFU and wait to see who his next opponent is instead of making up negative ***** in advance?
Exactly what I was going to say.
