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

[Hatesrats]

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.

Does Loffler still have Chocolatito??

Yeah he's doin a card Dec 8 om HBO.

[boliodogs]

I think he will. They pay very well and that would make getting a 3rd fight with Canelo easier.

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.

No its not. Why can't boxing be on any other day? I used to love Tuesday Night Fights. Why can't they still do that? They can do w/e they want.

Randomly I'm kinda amped to see what fights are in the GBP library. They said that was coming with GBP & Canelo to DAZN. Said they got 4,000 hours worth of fights.

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?

There are a lot of things in flux, Golovkin has already said that he's not fighting again in 2018, and Golovkin's moves over the last year or so have made it clear that he's looking for the exit.

We'll see Derevyanchenko-Jacobs, we'll see Andrade-Kautondokwa, Golovkin and his family will likely enjoy Thanksgiving, and then the decision will have to be made.

Wait on the direct fight with Canelo for the WBA middleweight title, fight the final eliminator against Charlo for the mandated WBC shot, fight Murata for the mandated WBA shot, chase the WBO title, or so to hell with all of this and go home (GGG Promotions from Astana, Kazakhstan, against whomever is willing to make the trip).

LOL to say the least to the bolded.

But yea I agree I think the move is to wait a lil bit before he does anything. See how things shake out. See if anyone gets antsy & tries to throw him a bigger pile of money then he may deserve. See if some interesting situation develops. Thats the impact waiting can sometimes get you.

GGG I can see floating around Fight by Fight. Maybe ESPN vs Murata in Japan which I'm all in for (would rather he take the WBC Charlo fight of course). Look DAZN can't pay EVERYBODY so boxing needs ESPN, Showtime, Fox all to keep investing into boxing along with DAZN

Even Heard Bob Arum out of all people say the same thing and is positive about Canelo Deal like he was about PBC Fox Deal

So maybe GGG decide to Float Around on a fight to fight bases to the highest bidder which is another Great Option. He is 36 so of course he likely won't get a Long Term Canelo type of Deal obviously but still so big fights and big paydays for him

[Jsmooth9876]

Most likely he stays a free agent and goes to ESPN for the Murata fight next then over to DAZN for Canelo or now maybe Andrade with the winner getting Canelo.. all I know is Charlo is on the outside looking in at this point.

���� Gennady Golovkin's promoter Tom Loeffler declared that Ryota Murata becomes frontrunner for GGG's next fight if he wins this weekend. Bout would potentially take place in Tokyo, Japan between March and May 2019. [@ESPN]

I don't think he'll be locked down to ESPN though.

Might be just a one fight deal, and then if he picks up the belt he can switch over to DAZN for Canelo.
