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

[TonyGe]

“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

Hmm your speculating but then saying it's fact. Would have could have should have aren't facts. You may be right but it's based on speculation.

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?

Are a bunch of fat guys who have never boxed a single day in their lives scorecards more valid than the numerous trainers and boxers who say Canelo won?

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...

Do you think he is after the money ? Really?
Do you not think with everything that has been said by GGG and his handlers and having lost 1 fight and drawn another ,he would want to get in the ring and beat canelo?
Is it really about money?
He is a fighter.
In my opinion if GGG drew the first fight then the second fight was a draw as well.
But if you think canelo deserved a draw in the first fight then GGG deserved at least a draw in the second.

Quit fibbing. Most people had Canelo winning the 2nd fight. Even Abel Sanchez thought Canelo won.

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

I think MisanthropicNY's name says it all. Misanthropic definition according to Webster: "marked by a hatred or contempt for humankind." His tag line, MGTOW. defined by dictionary.com as: "men going their own way." This is a movement that renounces interactions with women. At least he is upfront about it. To each his own I guess.

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.

Great post! That about sums it up.

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?

Golovkin gets much more from DAZN for fighting Canelo than fighting anyone else. That is baked into Golovkin's contract. Obviously the is not the case for Canelo. He does not receive more money from DAZN for fighting GGG.

Makes sense??? I hope he knows where laughing AT him and NOT with him...

[Shadoww702]

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

They tell us Kov. SUKS yet EVERY expert lists him Top #3 LHW with arguably #1. And almost ALL top 20 P4P...

Ive read on this site that they BOTH receive more when they fight better opponents.
