Hahahahahaha

You be lying!!!!!!

Are you serious? They're guaranteeing over 30 mil a fight and you think they can only suggest opponents? Lmaooo. They have the right to approve opponents as per their contract with him, just like hbo and showtime had that same right with the fighters that were signed to their network. This has been the case for decades. It's their money so they can pick and choose what they what to pay for and what they don't want to pay for l. The only out is if they and Canelo agree to mutually part ways. If he wants the big money they're offering, he has to receive their approval, if he wants to fight scrubs like this Turkish pilgrim guy, he can do it elsewhere without their money.

Don’t worry this fight will happen with or without DAZN consent. Oscar can always do an independent PPV for this fight similar to what Tyson vs Jones are doing with their fight. Will it do big numbers I doubt it but it will get Canelo that belt @ 168 which should give him more negotiating power with the other 168 lbs champs. When it’s all said and done Canelo will be the new WBC champion @ super middleweight

DAZN think they are smart, they’ll say this get a lot of people to cancel the approve a fight for canelo and charge 20 a month instead of 10...

I know, it's crazy right?

How could they be shelling out all that money and not have any say in who Canelo fights?

I dunno, you could be right...but, peep the following quote:


"A source familiar with this relationship told ESPN that officials at DAZN have grown increasingly frustrated with the matchups that have been formulated for Alvarez. While the likes of Jacobs and Sergey Kovalev are certainly solid, they didn't have the type of impact that a third go-around with Golovkin would have produced for the streaming service."

Now, be honest...does that sound like DAZN has been picking Canelo's opponents?

I mean, how can DAZN "be frustrated with the matchups" if they are picking them or approving them?

Don't be so sure you're right about what DAZN has or doesn't have in the contract.

Golden Boy has been in the boxing business a lot longer than anyone at DAZN has been.

Well GGG wants 2 tune up fights before Canelo with nothing scheduled yet so there aren’t many options.
No live gate will make it difficult for many big fights to happen right now.

I see a lot of people on here saying good for DAZN and I agree this fight is not worth it, but let's get one thing straight, Canelo or Golden Boy never mentioned this fight as an option. Just because the WBC throws this out there doesn't mean it's going to happen, IDK why people are losing their minds like it was Canelo bringing this up, as far as I know the the fight being put together is the Smith fight which was actually close to being agreed with before DAZN sh** all over it because they didn't want to crank open their wallets. So before everyone else starts praising DAZN, it's DAZN that's broke because of their bad management and now don't want to pay the money for a contract they put together. For the type of money Canelo makes his fights need to be on PPV, just like every other star did in the past, a subscription based service on a app for $20 Bucks ain't going to cut it, for that 2 happen they would need 10 million constant subscribers, even Canelo fans will tell you that they are not going to pay $20 a month to watch Canelo fight once or twice a year, places like HBO, Showtime could pull that off because they have other content, DAZN does not. Point is that it's getting to the point where Canelo is wasting time waiting on DAZN to get their sh** together, sooner or later something is going to happen meaning DAZN violated the contract and Canelo could walk, ESPN, Fox, or Showtime would jump all over Canelo, he's not going to get 35 million guaranteed but he will get a very good guarantee with high PPV upside just like the others De la Hoya, PAC, Mayweather, ect etc. And before you come at me with YOUR CRAZY, walk away from 300 million? Yeah because DAZN just doesn't have the money or platform to pay so Canelo is never going to see that money anyway.

Meanwhile, GGG fights ANOTHER ABSOLUTE SCRUB.. and DAZN has nothing to say other then GGG has a contract..

Well guess what, CANELO HAS A CONTRACT.. starting to seem race is clearly at play here

Race is always at play in the minds of racists.
