DAZN is a business and knows what we know, Golovkin is getting old and a GGG - Canelo III stands a high chance of Golovkin getting dominated and retiring, ie DAZN gets just the one marquis fight out of him. They'll be hoping for two (ie he has enough left to still be competitive), but preparing for one.
Anyone thinking this Rolls fight isn't just a pawn move is missing the plot. All I admire is that someone managed to find the perfect opponent who met the criteria of 'looks good on paper, preferably undefeated, who doesn't stand a hope in hell'.
