GGG vs. Derevynchenko is a done deal for Oct 5th or Nov

[Sweet Scions]

Dervy is on his own. He can upset the applecart or not. DAZN probably gets their wish in Feb. for Nello-GGG3

My thinking is part III happens in Sept (assuming the pending GGG-Derev and Canelo-whoever (Andrade?) go the expected way) with one other fight for at least Canelo in the interim?

DAZN have no creative control for its boxers?

It's a decent fight, but probably not one anyone is dying to see. Interested to see if Canelo chooses Andrade now.

LOL at the concept of "Bossnelo" DAZN is the one who sign's the checks, DAZN is looking like the power player in this.

[kafkod]

He rejected the offer then turned right around and accepted the offer for GGG. How can he reject an offer and Canelo get stripped?

Rejected what offer?

Sept. is too far out for DAZN. They will have left boxing waiting that long. February ... May at the absolute latest.

DAZN is screwing Canelo. Smh

How so?

IBF demands a deal...and Canelo pulls out! how come that is DAZN fault?

or you mean the "Fight GGG or Kovalev or we can care less"from dazn?

if the latter, well , like I been saying it all these weeks, there is so much you can do for yourself....untill the bussiness comes and bite your ass

[kafkod]

Not me. Subpar fight. Screw the IBF belt.

It's a great fight, one of the best that could be made at 160. Dervy vs Canelo would have been a great fight too.

Yeah, the idea of maximizing pt III with the coveted Sept date makes perfect sense on the surface, though this is a fair point. Although it suggests DAZN is already frantically treading water at a point I'm not sure they're at yet. Then again...
Who knows.

A friend has been floating the idea of a top secret Canelo-Spence ppv planned to close out the year kept under wraps to this point, with the "GGG must have a strap" talk being mostly smokescreen while that's underway. It seems far fetched at a glance, but to hear him make the case (giant numbers playing on the unfortunate reality race war angle, an exciting fan/casual-friendly style match, the high likelihood of culminating in another highlight reel KO for Canelo) is actually semi convincing and at least makes you think what if.

lmao u don’t get it. Ggg is the easier fight. Easier to win that fight than Canelo in the first place. I aren’t getting it. They may feel 5 mil for ggg is better than 7 for canels

Absolute morons that team is then. He's an underdog in both fights. Canelo is THE guy in boxing. Passing up a chance to fight him for similar money against GGG is laughable. Even if loses to Canelo but performs decently well, he would be in line for another big fight.
