Canelo May Not Fight in 2020?

Correct, but I would like to see that list. Is this where the Spence noise came from like in early 2019? Then there was also the pipe dream of the Mayweather rematch. This has been a disaster.Comment

- -Is GGG a premiere fight anymore?
Canelo could retire tomorrow and set up 5 generations of his progeny for life.
And he don't want 160 anymore. U boys hard of hearing?Comment

Lol, if Jacobs and Kovalev weren't, what makes you think you foreigners with no US following would be considered as premiere? If they were, why is Canelo now getting offered half his purse?
That's the problem here. Seems like it is GGG trilogy or bust for them. But then what? What happens after that fight? Who around those weight classes would be considered premiere?Comment

Seemed that before there was a deal in place to face Saunders and then GGG and everything was hunky dory. Now these guys have irreconcilable differences...
But no I didn't think DAZN would consider them premier. I just said that they are premier.Last edited by Mammoth; 09-02-2020, 11:53 AM.Comment

If the contract really is this narrow that the only active fighters that qualify are GGG, Chavez, Wilder, Fury and Paq then yeah, so in reality just GGG, yeah I would take my chances in court over fighting for half.
There are 6 active fighters between 160 and HW that have fought on PPV. Canelo himself, Chavez, GGG, Jacobs, Lemieux and Kov. He fought 2 of the 5 he could fight last year but they are not "Premium" Good luck with that. Or how GGG PPV without Canelo did 150k and 170k not much different then Kov PPV numbers.
So not sure how DAZN will be able to argue that GGG is premier but Kov or Jacobs is not. Kov is also an Alphabet Champ, still ranked in the top 3 in the division by pretty much every organization, was at the top of P4P lists less than 2 years earlier then the fight. Similar with Jacobs who was the consensus 3rd best middle weight.Comment

let's see...
GBP promised DAZN a 3rd fight with GGG and Canelo said "no mas"
Canelo even in non covid times would NEVER live up to his deal because the fact is he's not that kind of draw.
No one cares.Comment
