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

[bojangles1987]

Holy **** that's a crazy commitment. That's the rest of Alvarez's career considering his activity.

[Scipio2009]

This all hinges on the non-continuation of short term multi-fight deals .

Where exactly are gym going to consolidate their fighters and air them other than DAZN?

Where exactly is miller going to go if not DAZN considering he would have to petition for a WBC ranking (pay) when he has admitted he doesn't want to do VADA because he knows he won't get wilder any time soon? He literally did an interview last week where he stated Hearn is the only promoter he has dealt with that has followed up in his words in terms of money and activity. He knows he has no reason to deserve an AJ shot right now he mentions it to keep himself relevant and good on him for it.

Tevin farmer is more than happy with matchroom co-promotion and this is evident from his current statements. He's going to get gervonta afterwards is he? When's gervonta fighting? The guys crying out to his own promotional team for fights. You can't say people will leave to fight others who aren't even getting fights and are in complete professional disarray themselves like tank.

Those who are in co-promotional deals right now will more than likely extend, they're active and getting paid which is much more than can be said for their previous environments .

Al Haymon, depending on what you believe, just got a guaranteed near $500m over the next 4 years to air boxing.

Do you honestly think that Showtime would pass on Stevenson-Alvarez or Stevenson-Beterbiev, or do you think that FOX would pass on Beterbiev-Alvarez for one of their dates?

Davis-Mares is next for Tank, and the fight after that is likely the unification, with Showtime interested in both fights. lol

You can subscribe and cancel on a month to month basis.

Cool! I usually spend over $140+ a year on PPV so now I only need it for a few months a year. Not a bad deal at all.

They now have the 2 biggest stars out there signed (AJ and CA$Hnelo). GB also has some potential future stars as well...

[Shadoww702]

I think they overpaid quite a bit. But fast Eddie will promote well some lousy cards.. Good for Canelo.

I dont think theyll lose money. Most Canelo fights rake in MILLIONS and I assume DAZN gets everything from merchandise to ticket sales and then some.

DAZN just got access to the Golden Boy not just future fights but also their past library which is a sneaky good deal in itself. You have a ton of classic Canelo fights in addition to Oscar De La Hoya, Hopkins, Mosley, and Floyd Mayweather fights. People forget Floyd fights from when he fought Oscar until he fought Manny are all property of Golden Boy. Just like Top Rank owns old Oscar and Floyd fights when they were still fighting under Top Rank and put them on ESPN as part of his deal.

That means Floyd vs Hatton, Floyd vs Maidana, Floyd vs Oscar, Floyd vs Cotto, ect likely all will be on DAZN

The deal with Golden Boy also will give DAZN access to the roughly 7,000-hour library of Golden Boy's fights, including from De La Hoya's Hall of Fame career. Golden Boy Media and Entertainment also will produce various shoulder programs to complement the live events.

Why would Golden Boy Promotions own any of Floyd's fights when he never signed with Golden Boy? lol

Matchroom had exclusive promotional rights to all boxing on DAZN in the US, apart from the WBSS.

If Oscar bypassed Hearn, then DAZN must have cut some kind of deal with Eddie to allow GBP onto the app along with Matchroom.

It has to be good business for Hearn. More subscribers means more viewers for his fights, and the GBP roster means more potential GBP vs Matchroom fights like Canelo/Fielding.

yeah, I was thinking that regardless of if Eddie had anything to do with it, it's still huge for him because GBP can still fight Matchroom guys and so on, and people who have DAZN can just "accidentally" watch matchroom cards, bring new fans to the sport other than just Canelo. haha

Canelo is undoubtably the king of boxing right now.

What do you mean right now? He has been ever since T.B.E. left.

[j.razor]

It's amazing how many posters on this board are so obsessed with other peoples money.

Nah, don't look at it like dude said....look at it as if you know where the money is coming from & going to help you know what is actually going on in the game...….

[aboutfkntime]

Maybe DAZN, a European company, is letting Canelo sodomize
them as reparations for Cortés conquering the Aztecs.

I dont know, but Canelo is a great look for DAZN, and I am
especially excited about Golden Boy's 10 shows per year.
Sometimes it's nice to see Hearn's British events, but Hearn
and his little Matchroom USA experiment couldn't carry
DAZN on their own.

yep, true

well done.. so whats uncle Al going to do with that money ? offer a guarantee against PPV buys? You think a beterbiev fight is going to do enough PPV's for them to do offer that to artur? no... You think even if they do it isnt going to be a money sink when the buys are shocking against the guarantees?

DAZN can and will however offer him a guarantee against subscription, which will have more solid numbers than a guestimate of possible PPV buys.

Davis vs Mares... i see.. and hows that fight coming along? with tank screaming for a date and not knowing when hes going to be fighting next ?

Again to the point above? at what stage do you think showtime will outbid DAZN for what isnt a PPV fight?

Are they going to pay the astronomical fee needed to secure that fight against a DAZN guarantee for each fighter when they cant put that fight on PPV? In order for them to pay them the huge purses, and still support the undercard and other costs.. they need to put that fight on a paying platform to recoup the money. NOONE IS PAYING US PPV PRICES FOR A TANK FIGHT!!

At what point are you going to wake up and realise that these shows.. of which you think showtime are going to spend so much money on are not PPV? they dont have the liquid cash in their budget to contend with a guarantee against subscription that DAZN will offer the fighters they want on their platform.
