Alvarez/Golden Boy ****ed Showtime when they ditched for HBO the first time; that will likely not be forgotten anytime soon. [When the PBC effort was being set up, there's no doubt in my mind that Haymon gave Espinoza an idea of what the plan was. With so much of Haymon's talent tied with launching the PBC effort, having Alvarez around, as Espinoza had an agreement to do, would've saved the 2015 Showtime schedule].
Outside of Canelo tossing Oscar to the side, I wouldn't waste the time thinking of a re-link.Comment

I see them as free agents. With ESPN you don't have to sign a 3 fight deal. With a DAZN it seems you do. But then again that 3 fight deal may be security for themComment

You get back to me if he signs elsewhere. Golden Boy and HBO are still thick as thieves in case you didn't know.Comment

I can see GGG signing with DAZN and being the face of the platform.
But Canelo would probably go elsewhere. I can't see Oscar wanting to play second fiddle to Hearn. ESPN seems likely, since Golden Boy has already been having fights there.Comment

That makes sense because Canelo is a twice a year PPV fighter. He can go anywhere and sell his PPV's a la carte to any network.
GGG isn't a PPV fighter but he's a draw. He's going to want a high minimum per fight and DAZN can afford it and needs him.Comment
