No one is talking about this?
'On if they’ve received assurances from DAZN that they’ll get a fight in the fall with Canelo should they both win their upcoming fights:
“Well, DAZN really aggressively pursued GGG. When Canelo signed with DAZN, their goal wasn’t — I mean it was to sign Canelo but really as part of that goal was to make the third fight with GGG. Once they signed Canelo, they really went after Gennady, as did many other platforms. That’s kinda where it started off that whole bidding process. And the goal for DAZN is to make the third fight with GGG.
“They made it clear on our side that the fastest path, the easiest path to making the Canelo fight was to sign with DAZN. That’s what GGG did. And they told us that they made it clear to Canelo apart of that big contract he signed includes a third fight with GGG...”
On if DAZN can force Canelo to fight Golovkin:
“When you’re paying whatever the number is, $365 million, whatever that number is, I think DAZN has a lot of leverage to say who they want as part of that deal. So, you know, I can’t get into the details of their side. From our side they’ve made representations that that fight — if Canelo’s successful and if GGG’s successful — that they’ll do everything in their power to make sure that fight happens in the fall.”
