A guaranteed $36+ million per fight.

Is that a smart deal for a brand new entity? 5 years with no previous history.

I wouldn't have made the bet but, then again, it's not my money at risk.

$10 per month, 12 months in a year. You were able to get Canelo on to the platform, but you're basically looking at needing Canelo to draw 750k people to the platform and keep them there for the full five years to have DAZN cover the outlay for only his deal.

We'll see, I guess

Daaaaaaaamn

Canelo will ***** on Floyd by the time he retires.

I bet this has Floyd hella jealous right now knowing his petty ass.

Goddamn, he's really Ca$hnelo now.

I highly doubt there's any chance he's fighting PBC fighters now though.

That pretty much narrows his options down to Demetrius Andrade, Daniel Jacobs, David Lemieux, Kell Brook, and Callum Smith for now. Maybe throw in Billy Joe Saunders and Borat.

[Rip Chudd]

Well if he is on DAZN we know he'll at least fight Danny Jacobs
