As most know, DAZN was not happy with GBP during the Canelo lawsuit. They still ended up or will end up putting on Canelo's next three fights, just not with GBP involved. The cards that GBP put on don't have exactly the biggest of budgets and GBP will be putting on a few fights on the upcoming Ring City USA cards. Could GBP be trying to cut a deal with ESPN to get some dates? Arum has made it known that if anyone wants to fight on ESPN, they have to go through them first. Is a partnership brewing between the two companies or were they just possibly discussing a few potential match ups in the future?
