Comments Thread For: Canelo's Deal With DAZN is 11 Fights, $365 Million Guarantee

Are you joking? That’s great news for Hearn.

DAZN just got a huge boost in terms of profile, most likely subscribers, and legitimacy, and he controls most their boxing budget.

You guys are bitter as ****

Eddie Hearn has Demetrius Andrade, Jessie Vargas, and Reshat Mati as his most high-profile signed talent. Everyone else is either with Matchroom Sport in the UK or signed to some short-term co-promoter deal (no more than two fights).

Without Eddie Hearn being able to deliver a single star for the US-based streaming app, why should Performance Group extend the pact after the guaranteed two years?

All this tells me is Canelo is going to fight about 5 easy fights and 2 tough ones before he retires. I dont see how this is good for boxing. I also font trust people to download DAZN. No one knows wtf it even is outside of hardcore combat sports fans. I heard the numbers in the US have been awful. That's why they made this desperate attempt at getting Canelo.

It was a desperate move that will lose him millions. I just want to see good fights and Canelo has no one to fight anymore. This is what he wants of.course.

As BoxingScene.com first reported on Tuesday, boxing's biggest network free agent - Canelo Alvarez - signed a multi-year deal with streaming services, DAZN. The first fight of that deal will take place on December 15th, when Canelo moves up to 168-pounds to challenge Rocky Fielding for the WBA "regular" super middleweight title at New York's Madison Square Garden.

Daniel Jacobs and Demetrius Andrade are both w/t Hearn and are legit contenders @ Middleweight. Also, Golden Boy promotions has a co-promotional deal w/t Jaime Munguia another future foe for Canelo. Plus Callum Smith is another guy that can fight Nelo if he decides to stay @ 168

Canelo is undoubtably the king of boxing right now.

Why wouldn't they? HBO didn't survive off just Canelo so why would DAZN?

Hearns going nowhere 😂 you're just desperate for him to fail... So so sad.

Wonder how much DLH is getting from the deal, if the Money is guaranteed Canelo should have negotiated lower % for GBP. I'm sure Hearn would have happily promoted Canelo's fights for a flat fee.

It's crazy how Mayweather could make that in one fight and surpass that in two fights!
