Has a network/app ever crossed a star like DAZN crossed Canelo?

[Fanofreason]

I’m waiting for you or my boy bigdunny1 to say this:

Canelo is a commodity/staple for a proven fanbase that’s willing to invest, and particularly in Vegas. As the world turns with technology, 30mil a fight as the years progress and streaming gets better, in actuality Canelo’s deal is big but not really surprising. DAZN is like Phil Jackson when he had MJ. The Chicago bulls’s triangle passing was unprecedented at the time. Tricks up their sleeves.

People are really acting ret@rted as if GGG is what would make Canelo’s legacy and multi deal. Like PBC shills saying “DAZN has a say” like soap opera episode reviews..

DAZN is making bank without GGG. To say DAZN needs GGG for Canelo is oxymoronic since GGG is already on DAZN. Too much phaggotry theory going on mayne!

Dazn lost $587 million last year. They are not making bank. They are on pace to lose $4 Billion dollars in the next 48 months.

DAZN made 45 cent last year and it’s still huge like Beyonce’s booty

Canelo needs DAZN unless other networks will match that salary, and its not like GGG is a boogieman now. Canelo is PRIME! PBC shills dont realize that if the whole gripe is that Canelo doesnt like taking ''orders'' from DAZN, why would another network make the same mistake and offer more or match it? What many fans haven't grasped is that DAZN could NON-DISCLOSURE give Canelo Alvarez even MORE MONEY. Nobody has brought this up.

Sure Canelo can take his fans elsewhere, but is Showtime or ESPN+ going to match DAZN's offering? If they do, what does that say to Canelo haters? They're just going to be bitter that the networks they hate, like ESPN+ are unreasonable because they can't stand that some athletes worldwide are worth that premium. If Canelo goes to Showtime, are they going to guarantee Canelo his fight average pay like on DAZN? The whole point of why 30mil is great is because a fighter like Canelo has earned it to not even WORRY about PPV sales!!

The worst case scenario is Canelo fights GGG again. I got the Mexican to KO him or get a UD. GGG either has the choice to go balls out or dodge serious damage so that he can perform his remaining contract thereafter with most likely difficult opposition.

I absolutely believe that Canelo can earn similar/more money elsewhere over the course of his career, which is just starting to take off

the PPV model would still work for him

DAZN refusing to " approve " Andrade for a history-making unification..... is insane

Canelo should not allow DAZN to fcuk with his career

if they had the slightest common-sense and integrity..... they would approve Canelo/Andrade and order Golovkin/Charlo.....

ordering their superstar to forget about legacy-defining fights, while allowing Golovkin to fight guys like Rolls..... is rubbish

Canelo should walk, he is bigger than DAZN within boxing

I never heard of such a thing or of anything like these many fight many years deals. I would love to see Canelo's contract with DAZN to know what they can or cannot make him do.

Reports were that HBO refused to match Showtimes offer for Floyd unless there was a guaranteed Pacquiao fight within 12 months. He walked to Showtime after that.

I think the answer is this has never happened before, ever.

Canelo’s team has stated multiple times they didn’t want GGG next and laid out a bunch of alternative options.

DAZN basically said GGG or move up two weight classes.

Could you imagine Showtime telling Mayweather that he had to fight Pacquiao or GGG back in 2015?

If there are any examples, please share because I can’t think of any.

Has DAZN actually told Canelo they will not accept him fighting Derv or Andrade or Jermall and must only fight Kovalev or GGG? I don't think that is the case. I think they will let him fight any of those middleweights if he wants to. They just want him to fight GGG soon.

I'm guessing he can fight anyone he wants they just won't broadcast it. No one else can either.
