    Canelo has all the leverage over DAZN, GGG

    Canelo is in control of this whole DAZN, GGG, fiasco, and here is why.

    #1, Canelo DOES NOT NEED GGG, at all, he can go on pulling down $30 million dollars and change a fight, GGG's biggest bargaining chip was PPV revenue, that's gone now.

    #2, GGG has changed, he is saying things, and acting in such a way, that it's turning people off, but his biggest mistake was calling Canelo a cheater non stop, that was unneeded, he could have fell back, expressed some disappointment, etc, but he went beyond that, he took it to another level, on top of that, he walked out of the ring as opposed to be accountable to Canelo and the fans, that implies he has weak character, another thing Canelo must be fuming about. GGG talked about belts, all he cares about is belts, but when he had a chance to earn one before a 3rd canelo fight, he fought a bum, he tried to skate to a 3rd fight, that certainly must have upset Canelo who has won 2 belts since the second fight. GGG also behaves like he is the A side, like he can determine the venue, and other specifics, he still isn't giving Canelo his respect. Canelo meanwhile KNOWS he is GGG's meal ticket, and is going to refuse to let him eat out of spite.

    #3, It's not Canelos fault that DAZN gave him that ludicrous contract, they offered it to him, he signed it, and he is getting every bit of that money, if they can't understand that GGG talked himself out of a 3rd fight, fine, Canelo can get a big fat buyout, and sign with another network for similar money. Canelo is the golden goose, he will lay eggs wherever he goes, PBC, ESPN, they will pay top dollar for Canelo. There was a fantastic article on the feed today confirming what I have been saying for weeks. Canelo has them over a barrel right now, GGG meanwhile is 37, does not want to fight anyone that is halfway dangerous, and refuses to move up in weight despite claiming for years he would do so. GGG is a financial liability to DAZN without Canelo, and GB knows it. It would make sense to buyout GGG, he is way less valuable than Canelo.

    4. AJ got KTFO, Canelo is the undisputed king of the network, and also a superior fighter to AJ, a far greater commodity in America, they can't lose him

    If DAZN has to approve Canelo's opponents for him to get paid, he has no leverage.

      The biggest reason he has all the leverage is that he is the only fighter bringing in subscribers for DAZN. Without him, what would they have? There have been numbers showing the impact of his fight with Jacobs in May.

      So while DAZN may be upset they can't get the GGG trilogy made, they understand how much Canelo means to their company. They will get over it.

        DAZN isn't going to say no to Kovalev or Andrade or Smith or Munguia. I don't know how the contract is written and maybe they can increase his purse for certain fights, but Canelo is still the one running things here. So sure, DAZN has some say in what Canelo does, but ultimately he makes his own decisions.

          Unless someone has actually read the contract DAZN has with Alvarez, any thing they say is meaningless and just chikenshat speculation.

            If they want to use that option to play hardball, he can simply seek a buyout, but they can't afford to do that, this isn't a top rank situation, Canelo sitting on the shelf kills the business, trust me, DAZN is f%%ked

              Dazn really crApped the bed from the start.

              They over paid. Now they can’t keep up that payment rate and fights are not getting made.

              Nothing more than a money mark, and soon they will be out of boxing.

                Arum just said Kovalev is out, and it makes sense why.

                Andrade is next based on how things are playing out

                  I'm not counting out the GGG trilogy for September.

                  But sign me up for Andrade if that's what we get.

                    I wouldn't say Canelo is in control of the whole thing. Everyone has leverage. Even GGG to a lesser degree in this love triangle.

                    But yea Canelo is the money guy so he gots the most leverage cuz no him no fight.
