Is canelo getting screwed by DAZN?

[Longhaul]

Sounds like a pretty plucking good move to me .The kid is set for life and is making good business moves .

[N/A]

canelo's deal was 15 for rocky and 35 per fight for the next ten fights. but dazn only had the rights in certain countries. canelo is still making money from foreign rights, gate, sponsors etc

But he would still get his Tecate money and all of that if it was on PPV and wouldn't be capped

True the outside money is there regardless if it's PPV or DAZN just pointing out he is not a normal fighter he has his fingers in so many cookie jars then just the 35M per fight that comes from DAZN.

the question comes down to do you think there is upside to hit 2M and 3M PPV buys? Then you losing out on 100M+ for a single PPV but if your PPV flops, dips or it's a smaller name opponent that you know won't sell his pay is drastically less. For example maybe you do 300K for 1 of your fights and make only 15M. DAZN it don't matter at minimum they pay you 35M or more and you have long term security for your fights. With PPVs declining and pirating he is banking on the safe bet and not the unpredictable PPV model.

He is paid $36 mil a fight but since there is no PPV money it’s just a flat fee right? He should have stayed with hbo or showtime where he can get some of that PPV money. He is the biggest name in boxing and can easily break $75 mil a fight after PPV. So again I ask is DAZN bending over canelo with no lube?

$35m is Canelo's US TV rights, yes.

Still, Alvarez has his Mexican TV deal directly through him, the money from the live event, his personal sponsors, etc.

Add everything together, and I have no doubt that Canelo is well over $50m.

Canelo and his camp looked at the landscape, thought about Canelo's next 4 years, and chose a deal that basically pays him for 1m PPV buys a fight in advance, without having any impact on the other business that Canelo has.

The only thing that Canelo is really missing is the build of his legacy that he could've picked up if folks actually got the chance to watch this coming run.

mm.. check your math. $75m @ $80 per PPV would have a breakeven of 937k PPVs. After the network and his opponent get a cut, he's walking out with ~$25m.

And there's nobody except for Golovkin at this time that he can sell 1m+ PPVs with.

So...no.

She's funneling much of that money back to the cartels who own her.

For a fight like fielding, he is gonna take in more than he would if it were ppv. For a fight like ggg 3 he probably makes less than he would.

You have to take the deal they are offering unless you know you can make 2 Floyd/manny level events that bring in the same amount.

Respect to all replies. I just was curious about it. But yeah $30 mil plus isn’t bad at all.

There’s barely a fight left that’s guaranteed to break 1m PPV buys in any weight class.
