Canelo is the draw, the guy that can attract viewers even if he's fighting a broomstick. Golovkin on the other hand can't pull significant ratings unless he has the right opponent.
Yet GGG is the one getting a pass here on fighting Steve Rolls then Derevyanchenko. While Canelo isn't allowed to fight Derevyanchenko even after having just fought Daniel Jacobs.
WTF?
Did we enter Bizarro world or something?
Who cares man he's already proven he was a step above all the MWs in the past. It's Canelo who's ability is still in question.
True. Diva's fans are always trying to dis Golovkin, but he's the best win the diva's got. WTF??
They should be calling GGG a legend, try to make the diva look better. :-)
They just have to worry about Triple Tune-Up avoiding every other fight imaginable.

Derevyachenko was never a primary option for either.
DAZN wanted Canelo to fight GGG or Kovalev. Canelo got cold feet when it came to the Kovalev fight and he wouldn't fight GGG to save his life.
Therefore, Derevyachenko was forced into the equation.
IBF was even willing to give Canelo a voluntary defense without having to face Derevyachenko.
No one wanted the Derevyachenko fight, and now he's being forced into the equation because neither have opponents.
Canelo may get paid more, but he brings in subscribers, advertisers, the public. Basically he brings in revenue and profits. GGG getting paid $10-15 million is worse because GGG brings nothing. GGG does not bring in revenue and profits to DAZN For that $10-15million DAZN gains nothing but red ink. The only company that benefits from GGG getting paid so much are companies that make red ink pens.
You're preaching to the choir bro. I'm answering the question of the thread.....
Pretty sure they did but it seems to ended up the best scenario we could ask for. Ggg fights for the IBF and Canelo unifies with Andrade and the winners meet next spring. Chances are GGG wasn't gonna fight Andrade if Canelo fought Derevyanchanko.
Hope Canelo and Andrade can get a deal done. Did I read that Derevyanchanko passed on 5 million? Are you fking kidding me!!! Who do these guys think they are. Andrade will be trying to get Jacob's money so I think theres a good chance that fight doesn't get made either.
Paying canelo 30-35...is worst than paying 10-15 for GGG
Its business, plus you had the champ canelo, and the ibf belt comes with a burden, you need to follow the rules :D they dont give a F@ck
Don't give us that bullsh**. The IBF, WBA, WBC, WBO only follow their own rules when it suits them. Their top ten contenders are usually a joke. The way they maneuver certain boxers up the list is disgusting. Derevyanchenko is a perfect example he loses to Jacob's then wins 1 fight and he is again ranked #1. They give and strip fighters of titles at their leisure based on a wide array a bullsh** reasons. There is a reason they have been taken to court many times over and raked over the coals by the presiding judges.
So don't act like these bodies are somehow sacrosanct and only care about fair play and following the rules.
my guess is cause they gave way more money to Saul than Golo. And Sauls first 2 fights so far were....meh
I'm not excusing Golo vs Rolls by any means cause that was a garbage fight.
I'm just answering in terms of monies spent...
Throw in the fact that Saul gave a BIG middle finger to DAZN by not fighting on Diez y Seis weekend AND the fact that it looks to me, that DAZN is trying to force Saul into making the trilogy with Golo by ok'ing Golo vs Derv (hoping that Golo wins that fight)

You obviously know nothing about business and making money. Canelo may get paid more, but he brings in subscribers, advertisers, the public. Basically he brings in revenue and profits.

DAZN wanted to guarantee the GGG trilogy fight from Canelo if he took on Derev. They don't have to worry about GGG avoiding that fight. There's your answer plain and simple.
They just have to worry about Triple Tune-Up avoiding every other fight imaginable.
Let's see. He ducked Golovkin for 18 months the first time, got a gift draw decision, got busted for PEDs, literally had no choice but to take the rematch while accepting a pretty bad (for him) split, got rocked in the 10th round, got another gift decision that 80 or 90% of the boxing experts thought he didn't deserve, and is now making a lame excuse - "he insulted me" for not taking the 3rd fight.
So.. yeah, I'd say it's definitely possible.
Bro don't hurt people with that many facts in one post...

Nope. Your looking for ducks hit up Wilder and Joshua NOT a guy who you can literally watch 2 complete fights worth of footage with.
If I remember correctly didn’t that Skipper piece of s**t get on board after DAZN signed GODnelo?
I know for sure Skipper is a Borat fanboy so that’s why he gave Borat that $100 million.
100 million and allowed him to promote some fighters on DAZN and to buy into the company.
You cant be 24 rounds deep and duck a guy.

Lmao. Golovkin wants to fight Canelo, as does DAZN. Canelo doesn't want to fight him, yet somehow it's Golovkin "getting a pass" for fighting Derevyanchenko?
What is he getting a pass for? Canelo ducking him until he turns 40?

Me thinks this is DAZN's way of forcing a Saul/Golo trilogy. Theyre hoping/expcting for Golo to win the belt (cause Saul said Golo NEEDS a belt in order for them to fight again). The BIG question is, will a trilogy actually happen if golo/derv end up being a golo win? Saul might be even more pissed off...
c'est la vie
This is exactly what I was thinking
Which makes perfect sense for them to make the trilogy
Also , I wouldn’t be fughin surprised if this was all set up by Dazn and the IBF
Some real bullchit in boxing going on , that we are letting platforms decide what matches are getting made
If Canelo gets 35 million and he needs to pay Derv 7 million to get the fight made that still leaves him 28 million. How do you know Canelo-Derv generates ten times more sales and why do you care? I got DAZN before Canelo joined and will keep getting it if he leaves. So you are saying DAZN hates the wonderful Canelo and loves the evil GGG. Why? You love Canelo and hate GGG. You made the standard jokes about GGG fighting taxi drivers, homeless people,Roll and Vanes rematches. So if GGG ends up fighting a tough SOB like Dervy for a vacant title what are you crying about? GGG would still get about 13 million bucks less than Canelo would to fight the same guy.
the bold is beyond dumb..
how much do you think is ggg willing to give out of his own pocket ?

Why would DAZN not approve of Derev for Canelo? But he's ok for GGG? | BoxingScene Community
