Is DAZN's hiring of Golovkin a stupid move?

DAZN should be contacting Charlo for GGG. It's a marketable fight.

Yeah. They're not going to recoup their investment in Golovkin. Not unless he fights Canelo once a year for the next three years.

Naw since he brought the White & Asian boxing fans to DAZN just like Anthony Joshua with the Black fight fan and Nelo with the Latinos

Yea I think it was bad because he’s on the downslide now and his fights probably won’t be that great. He’s 37 for christ sake. Who gives an athlete 100 million dollar contract at that age ? True. And he only wants to fight nobodies now. The Canelo trilogy is not even going to happen anytime soon. That would mean he will not be taking risky fights that would jeopardize the super fight.

GGG is old,slow and not that murderous KO artist anymore.Or was it that he was fighting tomato cans and cab drivers before,making him seem so? Against Canelo in the two fights,he barely rocked him,though he won the first fight,he lost the second backing up. He did him hurt in the 2nd bout but Canelo recovered quickly (he is a juicer so...). Dropped Jacobs pretty hard. GGG is definitely slowing down though, undeniable, and inescapable past 35.

Yes. 97G is a nobody without Canelo. It's like how no one cares about the Cavaliers without LeBron James. He can fight Charlo, Andrade, Jacobs, or Saunders. Those are good fights, and hardcore fans will pay to see them, but him vs Canelo is the only matchup that will bring in huge subs for DAZN.

I think the way they threw around money, expecting it to translate to subs, was a mistake. We won't know for a while though if any of this was a good or bad idea. Will be interesting to see how it plays out.

The way I saw it from the get. Not all this money is guaranteed. There are no guarantees in life. DAZN must have clauses and conditions like choosing the opponents they want you to fight within reason. The fighter can deny this order with reduced pay, or one other fight. If Canelo doesn't want to fight the opponents they want, they can't force him. The fighters can have their own clauses and conditions too. If not agreed, adios. It's not all that simple.

GGG promotions brings what to the table? GGG vs tomato cans isn't very interesting and they have no fighters.

Charlo ain't leaving uncle Al doe. He's just all bark and no bite. He's not fighting GGG. But I don't give a crap about the trilogy. I have seen it twice already. Life is too short to see the same fighters duking it out. I'd rather see variety.

The Canelo fight itself will bring in huge money so no it’s not. I think executives at DAZN will step in if Canelo refuses to fight GGG. That’s the main reason that they signed GGG.
