Comments Thread For: Hearn: DAZN wants Canelo to Fight Jacobs and GGG Next Year

[BWC]

The way Danny was talking on the DAZN broadcast, it seems like he hasn't signed yet the contract to become a DAZN exclusive fighter, it seems like all the options are still on the table.

He's been pretty open that if he doesn't get Canelo in May he outta dere..

DAZN is becoming like HBO by demanding which fights they prefer to air but in this case stream.

DAZN wants Wilder vs Joshua. Why don't you concentrate on that, Fast Eddie?

Both massive draws, GGG needs a solid win before Nelo rematch

I wouldn't say "massive" & golovkin should fight Jermall.

GGG, Lemieux at 168, BJS would be Canelo's next 3 fights period. Maybe even Degale in the UK. Jacobs wouldn't happen for the next several years and Jacobs would need to beat a Charlo or Andrade to make fighting Canelo a mega fight. Heck if Hurd moves up that would be an option for Canelo as well due to more entertainment value than Jacobs. I like Jacobs a lot however monetarily Golden Boy has far too many better options.

That sounds weak.

Yeah that's what i've been wondering. A contract that big isn't all one way traffic. They will have some influence surely.

Then again, they could just be saying this to attract GGG to DAZN. He's still the second biggest name in the Middleweight division and still the biggest fight for Canelo. Even if they don't want it next year, they can tempt him.

It's better to have GGG on your network than not.

Oh yeah, there are so many moving pieces here. Hearn needs Jacobs to fight GGG to so he will sign with DAZN and won't leave to the PBC. And if he gets Jacobs the Canelo fight, then if you are GGG all your MW options are pretty much at DAZN especially when Derevyanchenko is a FA himself. But if Canelo fights say Lemieux or someone else and Jacobs leaves to the PBC, who is to say GGG won't leave to the PBC either? The two fights that increase DAZN's subscriber base the most are Wilder/Joshua and Canelo/GGG. Once they got Canelo it was a forgone conclusion they had the MW division locked up.

I think it is unrealistic to expect Canelo to fight Jacobs AND GGG back to back. Usually if you fight one high level fight like that, the other fight is going to be a bit easier. Jacobs to GGG is f'n brutal but Canelo may do it who knows.

The thing is DAZN can't afford to lose Canelo regardless so just how much does GBP give a damn about what DAZN wants? Unless he gets more money if he fights certain fighters or if they reach a certain subscriber base? You give someone a 10 fight deal plus additional one that just happened, you are giving away some of your leverage. I remember when Mayweather got his six fight deal there was criticism that they invested too many fights to him, and that's damn near half of what Canelo got with DAZN.

yup and eddie said whoever gives danny the best option they will go with. but more than likely dazn will come up wih the bread. they gonna keep that choke hold on the MW division

everyone wants that except wilder it seems... we still waiting to see if he knows how to sign contracts or he just wants nonesne wwe confrontations that lead to no where.

[Califire209]

Wanting and getting are two different things Eddie Hearn.. I knew this was going to happen they were going to try and influence canelo's fights because of the large contract signing but DLH and Canelo are going to call the shots

[Motorcity Cobra]

Eddie needs to throw big money at Zurdo and Benavidez. If they signed with DAZN, Canelo would be busy for years to come.

Canelo said he isn't fighting Mexicans anymore
