As I posted I few weeks ago, Canelo has supreme leverage over DAZN, GGG, he is their daddy, he owns them, he has them by the short and curlies.
Canelo opting not to fight is the pound for pound king putting people in their place, and the fallout cannot be understated.
Here is what it means.
1. Canelo NOT fighting is a disaster for the network, it stands to reason a ton of people will unsubscribe, or not subscribe at all until there is a Canelo fight on tap. AJ/Ruiz 2 will boost subscriptions, but does not take place until around the time Canelo will start promoting his next fight. So DAZN is up sh/ts creek right now, no attractions on the scale of Canelo, just old a$$ GGG, boring a$$ Andrade, faded Danny Jacobs, and gate keepers. Now that Canelo is out, people are going to use those jail broken fire sticks for the rest of the lot. DAZN is going to lose money, and so is GGG, Canelo's decision is meant to punish both parties, and remind them who is boss, he literally put the both of him on his lap, and spanked them in front of the entire planet.
2. As I said a couple weeks ago, Canelo should seek a buyout, DAZN really believed they could force a GGG fight, and Canelo feels strongly enough about it to turn his back on Mexican Independence Day weekend, that says quite a bit, that says that Canelo is willing to go down with the ship to get his respect, and maintain his position. DAZN should cut the cord, because Canelo isn't fighting GGG anytime soon, nor does he need to to break that bank, and no way in hell is he going to have anything to dictated to him as he is one the most dynamic box office draws boxing as ever seen.
3. GGG is in the Bermuda Triangle of boxing, his persona, his earning potential, is entirely based on the box office appeal of his another fighter. He does not want any fights that are competitive, not unless he has physical advantages, he easily could go after Kovalev, or Smith, or rematch Jacobs, or even go after Andrade, but he is so bt^ch made at this point, that will only take a risk if a massive payday is involved.
Canelo freezing him out has marooned GGG, he is a financial liability to the network without Canelo, or a serious threat, Canelo just shrunk GGG's profitability, he makes much less if there is no Canelo fight, or any belts, people need to remember that the term "could be worth up to $100 million" is a loose term, that's in the event he maximizes his bonus schedule, fights Canelo, and collects belts. Right now? He isn't doing that, and unless he grows a pair, it aint going to happen, Canelo's decision makes GGG much less relevant than he was even yesterday.
