Comments Thread For: Arum: If Kovalev Beats Canelo - He's Back To ESPN, NO DAZN!

Actually ole Bob got DAZN with this one. If he wins his value greatly increases and ESPN benefits. If he loses his value greatly decreases & DAZN has to foot the bill

Yup! One heck of a deal

Really? Since when is Canelo a natural middleweight? He was using clenbuterol to cut weight and get a huge size advantage fight night until he got caught. That's why he's fighting at super middleweight and planning on going to 175. It makes perfect sense. A boxer who is no longer using a PED to cut weight while retaining muscle mass now has to fight much closer to his natural weight. It seems obvious to me.

Yeah how many 5’ 7”ish fighters are there at LHW? I’ll wait

So if he loses dazn owns the rest of his career basically.....doomed to languish in obscurity

Not sure how much more he will fight (if at all) following his likely loss in this fight. At least he is getting the bag

Montell Griffen.

I don't think Fishnets and DAZN make this fight if they are not confident Canelo wins. I don't see how Kovalev overcomes the speed advantage Canelo has. I'd be surprised if the fight goes the distance.

I don't think either has a say at this point. Canelo has forced their hand to make the fight. He sat out the Mexican Independence day fight to get this fight

world class scam. Not a world class fight.

Why does that matter at all. You're side stepping the fact that Cheatnelo had to cheat @ 160 and most likely will be cheating at 175.

I remember people saying "oh, Canelo is not middleweight fighter, he is moving up to fight Golovkin, GGG is much bigger..." And now he is natural middleweight they say...

[Pennsauken1]

That’s because he spent all the ESPN budget money on the Gypsy Dope Fiend Fury

[ShoulderRoll]

So if Kovalev loses then DAZN has to give him two more fights?

But if Kovalev wins he goes back to ESPN?

Geez. Arum is completely playing DAZN.
