If you were DAZN, would you drop Canelo??

[turnedup]

At 32 million per fight? From a business point of view.....Yes. Do one off with guys in the sport who should be fighting each other and aren't. Tell me people here wouldn't sign up to watch Spence vs Crawford. Make each fighter and their promoter a ten million dollar offer and take that ten and spend 3 million of it on 5 barn burner fights between them lower weight dudes with huge motors.

Honestly, I don't partake in the money talk in boxing but For ten million clean Spence and Crawford would fight each other in a porta potty.

Yeah Canelo is the biggest draw in the sport but that's a whole lot of money on one guy hoping life, health, etc don't bring him down. I'd rather be known for putting on good fights that nobody else can make rather than the guy who controls Canelo's career. One man can't be bigger than your network, otherwise...you fkd up.

all they have is Canelo

No, I would cut my losses and drop Golovkin. They've already overpaid him for the Rolls fight. They should leave it at that.

Make Canelo-Kovalev.

I’d do the math. If Canelo won’t do the fights subscribers want to see what choice would I have but to terminate? Of course, without seeing the contract I don’t know my options or Canelo’s obligations.

No way Canelo signed a contract that lets DAZN dictate who he fights. They needed him more than he needed them.
He does have incentives based on how many subs his fights bring in.
The Cash Cow fights who he wants when he wants.

I expected a few more posts like these, but I think that's because I do all the purchasing for my biz so my mind is constantly thinking about profit. I don't see how they can make profit paying him 32 million to fight guys who have no value.

But, I also see the "he's all they have" argument. That's valid. But, if he's all they have and they can't make profit on him, then they don't have a business. His worth is not unlimited. That's why no one else was willing to pay that money.

Anyhow, I think it's just an interesting subject. There's no right answers.

They are getting return from the money they gave Canelo.

The bad investment is going to turn out to be Golovkin. They are paying him like a PPV star...on a service that doesn't do PPV...with no big buzz or subscriber increases to show for it.

I assure you Canelo couldn't care less about getting dropped by any promotional company at this stage of his career. He probably wishes he could get out of his contract just to avoid getting stalked by this GGG guy. Like he said, "There's nothing in my contract that binds me to the Golovkin trilogy." Which is understandable because who would have thought GGG would sign with DAZN? Golovkin disappeared for a year without a trace and was given offers by competing companies.

Some of you guys act genuinely ******. No one else was willing to pay Canelo anything like this and there's a reason the amount shocked the industry and made headlines. Canelo thanks god every night that DAZN was willing to pay him such crazy money.

I'm not saying he hasn't earned it. If someone is willing to pay it, then he's earned it. But, Canelo phags would have you believing it's privilege to pay him money. IDK why people have such a hard time with the concept that he's only drawing so many subs and there's a strong chance they might lose money on him. DAZN has been pretty fast and loose with their money thus far.

Money is not everything brah. Look at the Charlo twins. They've been given lucrative offers by DAZN and GBP, but they chose to stay home sweet home with their uncle Al. Tell me why?
