Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Canelo is Right, GGG Must Win Title To Get Trilogy!

[Verus]

Osca & Canela is focused on Daniel Jacobs, no matter how they try to make one think that they’re looking past Jacobs. Good try anyway.

Canelo is not talking past Jacobs. He and his camp know this is a very difficult fight for him, or as they say "muy complicado."

[Ake-Dawg]

Oscar who is Canelo's promoter says fighting Golovkin isn't a priority and DAZN hasn't denied it. Loeffler, Golovkin's promoter said it was a condition of Golovkin signing with them and DAZN hasn't denied that either. That's unusual. LOL. Is it just me or is it that promoting a boxing match sometime involves deception.

If I had to guess, it would be that the total value of GGG contract is based on fighting Alvarez whereas the total value of the Alvarez contract does not reflect the trilogy.

Loeffler said that DAZN wanted the trilogy for this fall. I don't think that was irrespective of Canelo saying GGG needed a title for the trilogy. Did DAZN want GGG vs Andrade this summer. I'd venture to say yes. It makes the trilogy a lot more attractive if its for all the belts. Loeffler is under some impression that DAZN controls Alvarez because of the contract. Showtime didn't control Mayweather even though he had a big contract so I wouldn't see how DAZN would control Alvarez.

GGG.


Stop killing bums.


Get a title and make the third fight bigger, muy dear greedy man.

Aren't Nelo's next dozen fights already paid for

I could be wrong, but I think that the DAZN contract is a minimum guarantee, which might or might not be on a sliding scale, but I am pretty sure that Canelo is free to make money on endorsements. I don't think he makes money off sponsorships. Again, I don't know about how sponsorships are handled. Nor is it clear what the promoters role and incentives are in all of this --- lots of unknowns. But it is good cannon fodder for people to post as if they and their lawyers have read the fine print on the contracts.

so then Canelo wants to fight Andrade next?

GGG.

If he fights Canelo and you want to see a competitive match wouldn't sooner rather than later be more appropriate. Fighting another match would put Golovkin into next May. If both guys were roughly the same age fine go get a belt then fight. That isn't the case here. I'm sure your aware of that. Are you afraid of Golovkin??

When people talk legacy, it's about the the big names on a fighter's resume. What people remember are the top guys that the fighter beat.
Golovkin is by far the biggest name on Alvarez's resume.
After two controversial decisions, you'd think Canelo would welcome a chance to fight GGG again and put the doubters to rest. You have to wonder why the guy keeps putting road blocks up.

Eh. But as long as the September fight is solid enough fair play.

Assuming Canelo gets by Jacobs this week I can't say I wanna see a fight anymore than Canelo vs GGG III at MW. Well unless Jacobs vs Canelo is as competitive & good as these GGG vs Canelo fights have been.

Andrade is a space cadet & STILL isn't proven at the tip top. I don't even think he'll be an interesting opponent for Canelo, but thats just me.

Mall is on the other side of the street so he's not makeable as an opponent as of right now realllllllly, but while I like his chances against Canelo much better than Andrade he's unproven at 160 more or less so I'm not as into Canelo vs Mall despite wanting to see it.

BJS is gone now. He was my sleeper in the division.

Rob Brant is with TR/ESPN or w/e so thats not doable, but not really into him at all or think he'll be all that competitive with Canelo.

Derevyanchenko makes solid fights with anyone at the top I think, but not invested in him & after catching an L to Jacobs idk if he should be in the running for September anyway unless he does something big soon.

F#ck David L at 160 with his overweight ass. He don't deserve a 160 shot.

And I mean who else is there to fight thats interesting? Idk but I'd love to hear the fights other mfers wanna see besides GGG vs Canelo III in September that anyone is giving a f#ck about.

DAZN gonna sneak Oscar some coke so he goes back off the rails & DAZN can start making Canelo fights cuz I know f#cking DAZN wants Canelo vs GGG III.

Thats the problem of GGG fighting Stevie Wonders

100% this.

Its not like Canelo killed GGG twice. In fact a lot of people think GGG won twice. These have been close & controversial fights.
