DAZN is looking to cut Canelo's money dramatically

[Mammoth]

Dan Rafael says DAZN are looking to cut Canelo’s money ‘dramatically’ and that ‘the tensions between the sides have gotten so bad’ that Golden Boy’s team and Canelo’s lawyer are not speaking directly to John Skipper anymore but to Len Blavatnik’s ‘legal representation’.

Not good.....

They better be cutting Golovkin's too. Both contracts were too big.

[Thuglife Nelo]

Messi and Ronaldo don’t take pay cuts.

Severe sign of the times: Julio Cesar Martinez—who was due to face McWilliams Arroyo—has, o/b/o Matchroom Boxing USA—requested a voluntary by end of year, with admission that DAZN budget and dates have been slashed. #WBCConvention58

They can't even afford McWilliams Arroyo looks like

1.) Canelo has agreed to take a low pay, but how much is the question.

2.) Canelo and GGG agreed for Trilogy for Q4 2020 after their BJS/Szeremeta fights, that commitment was acknowledged by Canelo.

3.) DAZN could easily prorate the current miss of funds for accumulation until his contract ends. That is the most fair assessment because in theory the brand/company grows and pays off their initial investments. That’s what Canelo’s legal and Len’s legal should agree to. It’s rather simple

Might as well sell this failed experiment now.

really tragic. I thought DAZN had a decent momentum riding just before the Corona virus hit, but Corona hit them really hard. I hope its not the end.

If DAZN can afford to still launch and committ to 200 countries as well as buying German rights+ for 4bil then they can easily pay for a Canelo fight.

As Dan Rafael insinuated in the podcast some of the frustration was not delivering GGG trilogy sooner. There’s no point for DAZN to verbally hold that promise against Canelo if it was never in the contract

[champion4ever]

Sure, they are. If they want to stay in business; Then it's a must that they restructure his contract.

Respect to Canelo holding his ground. Whatever DAZN is trying to drop his pay down to Canelo could probably make more than it via PPV so if DAZN renegs on the deal Canelo makes more money perhaps. So it's likely win win for Canelo to not agree to less money & just dispute the contract/get DAZN to opt out of the agreed deal if they won't pay him what's in the contract.
