Comments Thread For: Are Canelo, Golden Boy Headed For Standoff With DAZN?

[Motorcity Cobra]

Standoff? Really? I see a standoff when there's equal firepower on each side! I don't think that's the situation. What is DAZN going to say to GBP? Canelo fights GGG or you have to leave DAZN? Really? Do they want GBP on ESPN? Can you imagine what ESPN would offer GBP to have Canelo on ESPN? DAZN can't afford to lose Canelo, especially after the Joshua disaster! DAZN should be putting pressure on GGG to fight Andrade or Charlo first before they even think about a standoff with Canelo!

They won't put any pressure on GGG. They need Canelo to save them from that bad deal they signed with GGG. They're paying him $100 mil for one fight, Canelo. They thought GGG would put them over the 1 million subscribers mark and it didn't. Skipper dksab. Anybody who knows and understands boxing knows GGG is only a draw with Canelo. If you're paying a guy $100 mil then you'd think the guy could swim on his own. Canelo vs. Rolls would've brought subscribers, like Fielding vs. Canelo brought subscribers. GGG has to fight Canelo to bring in subscribers.

I agree. Canelo signed a contract and he is obligated to fulfill its terms. The only one ****ing around here is Oscar. If they dont fulfill those contractual obligations I can see oscar getting sued to smithereens.

(...) And seeing as Canelo is the only one bringing in subs he's probably underpaid. He's carrying the whole company.

... So... Why, then, Canelo doesn't fight Jermall next?... 'cause "he's carrying the whole company: on his shoulders... Jermall just lost his voice shouting...

So, Canelo doesn't want to finally get a clear win over ggg to quiet the controversy, he doesn't want to give dazn justification for his large contract by facing the most profitable option available in ggg, all because his feelings are hurt that ggg called him a cheater? The nerve of ggg to call Canelo a cheater after he tested positive for PEDs. Man up and actually beat him for real this time. Canelo may finally be able to do it since ggg is 37.

DAZN is a boxing app. There are not enough boxing fans to sustain it.

Amazon, ESPN, & UBER market is the 300 mil plus Americans. DAZN's hardcore market probably tops off at a million or so.

Those are bad comparisons.

Y'all see it with your own eyes. Y'all know the numbers don't add up. Y'all know their targeted market isn't big enough to sustain it. But for some reason y'all keep hoping against hope.

Lol at you still thinking DAZN is a boxing app.

And do you legit don't think there aren't enough sports fans to sustain it eventually? A sh^t ton of people enjoy sports. More people enjoy sports than need rides. And they'll pay for it.

The hard part for DAZN is gonna be acquiring a major sport that'll get their sub numbers up.

The 3rd fight betwen Canelo vs GGG is inevitable. It may not happen now but it will next year. Is DAZN is smart they can literally have Jacobs and GGG go at it again but at 168. Andrade VS GGG. Andrade VS Canelo. GGG vs Smith at 168. Canelo VS Smith. Muniago vs GGG. Canelo vs Leniux. These are just DAZN fighters. If they can get Kovalev to sign, i dont see why charlo and Saunders cant get in the mix.

No way in hell can they sustain it. They just paid GGG $15 million to fight Rolls and will WASTE another $15 million for him to fight Hobo The Clown. How many NEW subscribers you think that’s going to bring???

They should be slapped upside their head for giving a 37 year old $100,000,000. So they gave that much up to see GGG fight 5 BUMS with HOPE of one Canelo???

My bad I didn’t see this comment 1st.

100% CORRECT! GGG FLEECED them and now need Canelo to get them at least some of it back from one of the WORST deals I’ve ever seen.

Like they say in the NBA. “There are bad contracts and then there are BAD contracts”. Contracts that set a team back for YEARS!

I think GGG could bring in subscribers to DAZN by fighting Callum Smith or Demetrius Andrade, maybe even Danny Jacobs @ 168, but the question is "can he win?"

Sure... but why not in 2021 or in 2022?... it's also OK, right?
