If Tommy L is going to the PBC/Haymon side I hope they tell him he can keep the Superfly bs. Or make them like the first one which was the only quality one they did.Comment

I wouldnt necessarily come to that conclusion. If PBC or Showtime is paying him enough then that reason alone could be why. Also I don't see why it excludes GGG from a future Canelo III fight. Haymon does the get you the fight + the best payday possible thing better than anyone else. Ffs I think he got Dominic Wade 500k to get merked to GGG.Comment

Yeah, but SHO if they are going to be making this a package deal and giving Loeffler dates, they surely would want to have GGG fight on their network no? I mean I guess it would be possible to do the Canelo fight as they could make a deal where GGG will be able to fight him on DAZN.I wouldnt necessarily come to that conclusion.

Sources: Gennady Golovkin met with Al Haymon at #WilderFury about joining PBC roster. GGG a network free agent. Meeting went well; Haymon confident he can lure the former middleweight champion over to fight on Fox/Showtime. DAZN/ESPN still aggressively pursuing GGG/Loeffler

So Coppinger confirms that GGG to PBC is a thing and they met during the Wilder/Fury fight.
GGG definitely could be using this as leverage for a deal with DAZN and/or ESPN.Comment

I don't think Superfly would be a bad addition. It just shouldn't be on the Fox shows. Put it on FS1 or something like that. That last card certainly had more of a showcase fight night feel to it than anything. Not Premium cable quality.Comment

Eddie Hearn flying out to L.A. this week. He hopes to convince GGG to sign with DAZN during this trip, per sources

GGG is playing this beautifully. Using everyone as leverage for himself and Loeffler. Hearn is going to come with the BAG.
But again, isn't the whole thing that Loeffler doesn't want to go through GBP or Hearn?Comment

Yea might be dead in the water if its a DAZN or nothing situation I guess.Yeah, but SHO if they are going to be making this a package deal and giving Loeffler dates, they surely would want to have GGG fight on their network no?

I'd assume it could just be done like any other fight is done when the money guy wants the fight on his platform doe.Comment

I'm not a fan. And it would appear as if most other boxing fans aren't either from their ratings.
The first one was cool, but they ****** after that. If you are gonna make me watch lil guys make sure they are all good fights & not typical name guy vs no body fights like it mostly turned into after it. I prefer just to keep them as co-mains on bigger cards then having some sh^tshow of lil guys in non-competitive fights. Competitive lil guy fights or gfy I say.Comment

I can't imagine Tommy wants to hitch his wagon to Eddie. If GGG has to hitch his wagon to Eddie might have to be a thing doe to put him on the platform.Eddie Hearn flying out to L.A. this week. He hopes to convince GGG to sign with DAZN during this trip, per sources

One would think DAZN would just go ahead & jump in & give GGG his retirement deal & 360 some sorta 4 year deal for 6 shows a year or something not to crazy to avoid all this weirdo Eddie bs with signing promoter which isn't gonna fly with anyone with 2 balls.
Maybe they are testing the biggest promoter they can sign under Eddie or something idk lol.Comment
