    Canelo, Jacobs & Andrade are with DAZN. Does GGG take the leap?

    This seems like the move to me for GGG. Gives him a great chance at a trilogy fight with Canelo, but gives him options with Jacobs & Andrade for a belt. Assuming Andrade don't f#ck this up & assuming Jacobs beats Derevyanchenko, which I don't think is a lock.

    That said I don't think if he waits a bit, & does a 1 off with ESPN for Murata's belt, which I still contend is his very best option, its not a bad idea.

    Thoughts?

    If K2 tries using him for leverage to get their whole stable signed idk if there's enough dates for them.

          Really, is there enough dates for GGG/K2. Matchroom and WSSB plus Golden Boy now and DAZN has a full schedule.
          SHO or ESPN may be better suited and he csn fight the Hurd and the Charlo bros (Jermell said he's movinf up after unification with Hurd) as well as Lara.

            He needs to go DAZN imo. That's where the money is without the risk. I don't like his chances against Murata in Japan. Chase the Canelo trilogy while getting shots at Andrade and Jacobs 2, which are very winnable imo. Loeffler should be looking to enter into some kind of co-promotional deal with Hearn for all his fighters, what the hell else will he do otherwise? GGG is getting near the end of the line and he's got **** all after that, needs to salvage some kind of future for himself while he can.

              Is there a K2 roster? I think K2 is Usyk & Tommy L is effing with GGG Promotions now + his startup Promotion 360 Promotions which only has Ryan Martin that I'm aware of thats showing much promise although I might be forgetting some up & coming guys or lil guys.

                I think GGG goes with ESPN. From what I have read they have their sighs set on a fight in Japan with Murata to be shown on ESPN next year. Charlo already bowed out of the WBC eliminator between him and GGG, amd Andrade is likely going to win the WBO title relinquished by Saunders.

                  Have you seen DAZN's schedule? They don't got anything on live 5 days a week. They got plenty of time to fill up still.

                  Plus who the hell even boxes for Tommy L these days? I think his roster is pretty much GGG & Ryan Martin (who's in the WBSS tournament). I doubt Tommy L would even need many dates with his current roster.

                    Well those would be Saturday for boxing. I think Matchroom has 16 dates each for USA and UK. Golden Boy now has 12 dates and however many for the WBSS. That's over 40 dates and all of those will most likely be Sat (they may have a few Fri.) It's 52 weekends a year and I didn't even add the Bellator that they air. That's a full house.
