Comments Thread For: One Fight In, Is Canelo's Contract Already Problem For DAZN?

No one wants to see this hype job against GGG(for the thousandth time) or a limited lemieux. FIGHT REAL COMPETITION OR GET LOST.

On a side note: Am I the only one that thought he looked like an idiot with those big dumbass Dazn gloves on?

Canelo and Oscar don’t give a sh.it even if they didn’t get the full 365 mil as reported Canelo got a boatload of $ and Oscar got a home for his sh.it stable

But if Canelo plans on fighting the Feildings & Lemiuex in the first year everyone associated with this deal loses

Those names won’t attract a large number of subscribers to pay for DAZN even if it’s only 10 bucks only the Canelo faithfull will care , and Canelo will slip out of the public mind fighting no names on a unknown app hurting his brand in the short term and in the long run

For this deal to work for DAZN , Canelo needs to be in PPV quality fights and at least 3-4 Big fights. Not facing opponets like Feilding , Liam Smith. Canelo isn’t Mayweather or Tyson where they can generate large viewerships fighting any no name fighter. He needs known opponets for people to be interested in his fights

Meanwhile TR and PBC fighters will have millions
Of people watching their fights raising their profile in the process for the next couple years

Whoever is behind the DAZN's decision to put their boxing division in the hands of DLH and Eddie are probably out of a job at this point. Both guys have stables that contain one PPV star, and only one them in the US. I can't imagine those two morons did anything but blabber on about Canelo and AJ the entire time they spoke to DAZN, which I'm sure was the only reason they were talking to them in the first place. I think this is a failure of the people behind the platform, they didn't do their due diligence on these two jokes. I still cannot get over Eddie not shutting up about A BILLION DOLLARS and TAKING OVER AMERICA and the takeover begins with...Vargas versus Dulorme in a half full (being generous) arena in Chicago. 'Go and download that app yanks, there's a lot more where that came from!' Hahaha! What a disaster

Based of what the article are saying, this is not going to be a good start If Canelo don't fight GGG and Jacobs at some point. Apparently and for my understanding, Canelo have to fight appealing fights to return the dividend to DAZN. I am saying this, but I admit that I am not good in this area. I really don't know how DAZN work to get all the money to pay all fighters who fight based to subscription and other factors like sponsors. Apparently Oscar have the final say. Let's see what happens.

Yeah, I'm still lost on the part where this thing can actually generate money. I'm beginning to think DAZN might just be a vehicle created by the people behind the endeavor to pull off some financial shenanigans with the ostensible purpose being mere window dressing. I kind of wonder the same thing about the WBSS.

You sure about that? Don't see any stars on pbc, that's why they all call out canelo desperately. Canelo made more fighting Chavez than they ever have.... Actually, Chavez made more fighting canelo than they ever have...

True. DLH and Eddie Hearn are the most disrespected and disliked promoters in the game.

If dazn don't have some sort of say they'll be ever so sorry for getting in bed with this dirty bastard, could be ruined by the end of 2019, everybody is sick of dlh and his bull**** already

Why is he a dirty bastard for DAZN to possibly have inked a ****ty contract? Wouldn’t that therefore make DLH a genius for getting this guarantee to his fighter? How exactly does that make him dirty?

[Boxingfanatic75]

Canelo's resume so far has been really good and he has a lot of names, even higher risk low reward guys like lara and trout.

It will be a shame if Canelo switches to only fighting Fieldings now with DAZN

Shhhhhhh,
Now don’t go letting facts get in the way of a good ol Canelo hatefest and jealousy of other’s pathetic accomplished nothing lives.

Lol! Real competition? He only fought two P4P top dogs. Your boxing IQ is inadequate at best. Canelo could fight AJ and if he won you’d still be crying moaning and butt sore.

[Bardamu]

End of the day though, how much say can they have? Eddie is saying that people have to sign to DAZN to fight Canelo. If he doesn’t bend, then Canelo is stuck between fighting GBP guys and Matchroom guys.

Eddie doesn't run DAZN. Eddie doesn't promote Canelo. What he says doesn't matter. He is only saying this to try and sign top fighters, e.g. Jacobs, g.

Skipper and ODLH are the only ones that matter. Skipper is in charge of DAZN and Oscar is in charge of Canelo.

Why not Canelo vs Andrade?

Because Andrade is as known and as big a draw as a wet sponge.

Jacobs and Charlo sure aren't superstars bringing all kinds of money, but both bring a heck of a lot more to the table than Andrade does.
