Comments Thread For: Canelo: DAZN Didn't Pressure Me To Take Golovkin Fight

[Thuglife Nelo]

Paying GGG $100,000,000 for six fights and Jacobs at least $24,000,000 for three fights??? No WAY they can stay a float and keep this up? If AJ loses again they might as well start filing for bankruptcy...

You used to be a good poster. What a shame you’ve been suckered by LDBC narratives

Who cares? Let Alvarez continue with his "challenges" and Golovkin try to unify at MW and lots of fans will be satisfied.
The ship has sailed on a 3rd fight.
Delay a fight too long and you get a May-Pac fiasco.

I'm sure that was the main goal of the deal. Otherwise, they would have offered him a smaller contract. The amount the spent on him is bananas

That was Pvssy-G that they tried to sway NOT Nelo..

You the one trying to sucker people into YOUR narratives. Nobody wants to see Pvssy-G fight Nelo again except for dazn, the media & the 97 G-Tards

I have never once favored Canelo vs GGG Trilogy because Canelo never got any credit for the first 2 fights. Even by Ward saying “the little man beat the bigger man” wasn’t sufficient by any even the purists, so anything afterwards is nothing but excuses, and I wrote the legendary thread for “the quintessential problem with GGG fans..” was that they can’t get Canelo out of heir heads.

Now regarding DAZN, nobody tells me anything about it because I always pushed for it and now fans are seeing the light!

The $100mil by DAZN was just publicity. GGG gets only half of his said purses and the rest is put in GGg’s Risk savings account handled by DAZN because we all knew he wasn’t worth that premium and the recent news revealed about it summed it all up.

Alvarez needs to talk to somebody outside of GBP. He keeps spewing this "he's no challenge for me" and "I beat him clearly" around at every opportunity when the whole world knows it's not true, after 2 extremely close fights. He sounds like he's ducking and doesn't even realize it.

YOU needs to talk to someone who knows bout boxing cuz the clowns you talking to don't know shet bout boxing with you included cuz Nelo outboxed Pvssy-G in the 1st fight then beat the "Mexican Style" out of him in the 2nd fight & NOBODY ducks Pvssy-G. Jermall Charlo & Demetrius Andrade are the ones getting ducked, genius

.This upcoming fight with Canelo and Kovalev has one of the weakest build ups of any "BIG" Canelo fight and it's one of his biggest moves to date, oh yea and they're competing with a UFC PPV that's clearly getting more of the mainstream coverage.

I wonder if they will release a 40 days build up special like they did for the Jacobs fight. They seem to be focusing on promoting "fight season" on DAZN due to their strong fall schedule.

I feel they'd be more successful drawing in more subscribers if they just pushed the Canelo Vs Kovalev fight and displayed the size difference in commercials. More casuals will tune in once they realize this fight is a big risk for Canelo.

Yeah and when they did finally allow a 3rd name it came with a stipulation that Canelo take $5,000,000 less to offset the cost of paying the other guy since now everyone wants over $10 million to fight him. Heck Jacobs rolled in another $4 million per fight after Canelo for his next two fights lol! They paying Jacobs at LEAST $24 million for only three fights.

Im happy for the fighters getting paid well. Is it sustainable????

That’s right! Nobody tells the emperor what to do! Boss Nelo telling MF’s what to do!

Without NBA or NFL licenses in the US, DAZN has 0 chance. Other markets have those licenses where it makes sense to pay $20 a month. You get A LOT more than Bellator MMA, Cricket, and, Matchroom and Golden Boy Boxing, and Canelo twice a year which IMO isn't really worth the money.

I agree! And at that point I’m only be subscribing a couple of months a year and treat that $20 like PPV but instead of one day I’ll keep for one month
