Big opportunity for Showtime and ESPN to get the cash cow. Where should he go or where would you like him to end up at? I think Showtime would be good.
Where should Canelo go to next?

I think Showtime fits him better as a platform & I'm sure he'd be a welcome addition to Showtime, but I wonder how much butthurt is going on between Oscar & Espinoza still &/or how much money Showtime has to throw Canelo's way.
One would think if they can make the Floyd deal out of the f#cking blue back in the day they'd have enough to offer Canelo a sexy deal today. Then again when Showtime had Floyd Showtime Boxing was all Floyd & nobody prospect type guys on Shobox almost exclusively. So with the PBC/Showtime situation going on now idk if they could break the bank to sign Canelo.
So I think Showtime is the best fit, but logistically idk if its possible. If its not Showtime I think it'll be ESPN...although Bob & Oscar got problems to so who knows if those two can work together either. So that being the case while I think DAZN is the third best choice I think its a close race & DAZN is a live dog to get Canelo. I'll be super curious to see what decision does get made with Canelo.
And I actually wouldn't be surprised if Oscar finds a deal with someone who's not fully got their toe in the boxing pool just yet to cuz you are immediately a player & grabbing some ratings just by having Canelo on your team so I don't think thats a crazy thought/plan either.Comment

You guys think it will be in Canelo's best interest to free roam between Showtime and ESPN so he gets to fight everyone? I think the amount of money Showtime and ESPN can make off Canelo, I think he's the only one with leverage who can pull it off.I think Showtime fits him better as a platform & I'm sure he'd be a welcome addition to Showtime, but I wonder how much butthurt is going on between Oscar & Espinoza still &/or how much money Showtime has to throw Canelo's way.
