Is is safe to say DAZN signing Golovkin did nothing for the sport of boxing?

    DAZN's existence has done nothing for the sport of boxing outside of giving us Ramirez-Hooker.

      Is Golovkin retired or what?
      Does Hearn regret helping to sign GGG with DAZN?

        Im pretty sure everyone including DAZN understood that this was the deal. I doubt they would have made Canelo such a large offer if he wasn't willing to take the GGG fight.

          How old was GGG when they signed him? What was the point when he is an old MW at the end of his career? Terrible business decision.

            DAZN had to think that signing GGG meant Canelo-GGG 3 was a lock. In the meantime, GGG became a mix of a bubble boy and afterthought for them. Canelo GGG 3 would have been huge. It makes sense for DAZN to want to make that fight. GGG just can't really sell on his own (like nearly everyone else active not named Canelo and AJ) so without Canelo, what can they really do with him to make money.
