Comments Thread For: Loeffler: We Thought DAZN Pact Would Make Canelo Deal Easier

[KTFOKING]

I mean Hearn said there could be problems if they don't get the trilogy fight made next. I wonder what exactly he means there?

But if no Canelo, there are plenty of viable options for Golovkin at 160 and 168.

“We thought when Golovkin signed to DAZN that the third [Canelo] fight would happen and it would be easier in the negotiations because there’s no pay-per-view split and percentages. With DAZN you don’t have that. We thought it’d be pretty smooth.” Loeffler

Told heads this. The $100 mil is by all inclusive performance metrics. It just means that GGG has to hit a certain standard every fight to get the premium. It doesn’t mean GGG gets a guaranteed $100mil. It’s just means the threshold that DAZN is guaranteed to give GGG to play the part.

In other words, Loeffler could’ve easily stipulated in the contracts, which I’m more than sure he did, “IF we fight Canelo Alvarez (on the Mexican dates) - because of PPV history - GGG’s minimum guarantee is $40million.” This could easily have been stipulated. DAZN doesn’t care because that’s the most lucrative fight for them in having GGG. That’s why Loeffler pushed for it.

GGG - Rolls 15 mil
GGG - Alvarez 40mil

That’s already 55 million to GGG and Loeffler’s scheme.

Means the 4 remaining fights are 11.5mil and GGG can fight whomever.

Canelo’s people protected him from this. Same type of schemes, people, whom helped out Haymon for the Whyte Rivas mess. People talk

Sh^t you & everyone else Tommy. Well everyone except Canelo anyway.

Canelo is acting like he really has a draw and win over GGG. When in actuality, he really has a loss the first time and a debatable draw/loss in the second fight. He did well in the second fight but no serious analyst who isn't biased has said Canelo clearly won the fight - most in general believe GGG won both fights. Bad judges can change perception and allow fan boys to justify ducking.

I'm not sure what Canelo proves by fighting a past his prime Kovalev whose lost - I think 2 out of his last 5 fights off the top of my head and both were stoppages - not even debatable decisions?

This dope ranked Rolls higher than kovalov because ROLLS was undefeated and Kov lost 3 times. LMFAO!

GGG wanted the fights with Canelo so badly, he rejected a career high payday for the first one, was perfectly willing to price himself out of a massive payday for the second (which was only salvaged a the last minute by GB who gave into his inflated demands), and he wanted third fight so badly, he was trying to dictate the location coming off a loss and with no belt.

"Sports Illustrated’s Chris Mannix reported Thursday morning that negotiations for their third fight have stalled largely due to Golovkin’s reluctance to face Alvarez in Las Vegas for a third time. The former middleweight champion made it clear in the aftermath of his fourth-round knockout of Steve Rolls on June 8 that he wants their third fight to take place elsewhere.

According to Mannix, also a commentator for DAZN, promoter Oscar De La Hoya will start looking at other opponents for Alvarez’s next fight if they can’t come to a resolution by Friday."

I can only imagine his list of demands if he claims the belt vs Chenko as he's expected to.

I like this guy

they'll tell you kov lost 3 times...then talk to them about the ward/kov fights and they'll tell you how he was robbed and cheated twice..lol...I love these guys...such clowns

[El_Mero]

They get fooled by DAZN. But Canelo is right in not giving him the 3rd fight coz ggg is after the money only and been playing safe. Upcoming fight somehow will show the reality in ggg...

You realize Golo gave Saul the rematch, right? AND, Golo will not get any money from Saul for a trilogy fight. WTF are you talking about?

[Thuglife Nelo]

People need to figure out how DAZN will provide GGG his $100 (threshold cap) if no Canelo.

GGG Rolls 15mil
GGG Devry 20mil
GGG vs 3, 16 mil
GGG vs 4, 16 mil
GGG vs 5, 16 mil
GGG vs 6, 16 mil

Canelo is equalled the amount of 3 fights total. That’s how we know Loeffler stipulated in the contract a massive guarantee for GGG from the $100mil.

The math is there.

Just how the hell is dazn going to continue to pay ggg 15m a pop for fighting guys who don’t sell fights with no ggg in sight? Dazn must be hemoraging dosh

Other than Golovkin there were few fighters that DAZN would approve as an opponent for Canelo. They haven't made up in subscriptions the salary they have paid Canelo and his opponents up to this point so they are very choosey who he fights. The problem is compounded because Canelo refused to rematch Golovkin. They were foolish to pay Canelo that kind of money and without a clause that he has to fight specific guys. They may break even on it but it's going to take a very long time. Their only hope for a reasonable return on investment is to sign other solid fighters at lower rates and put on competitive fights that will draw subs.
