Comments Thread For: Canelo Sues DAZN, Golden Boy, De La Hoya For Breach of Contract

That's right!! Canelo is kicking @$$ inside and outside of the ring. Don't let those slick talking promoters cheat you out of your money. You're the one risking your life in the ring not them. Get your money while you can because once you take a few losses they'll just sign the next up and coming prospect and try to use you as a name to have on their new cash cow's record.

Nah DAZN is acting ******. The dollar is rising in most countries especially during Covid. Plus Canelo fights in Q4 2019 were intended to go Global. One USA buy would be equivalent to 10 buys in other countries.

DAZN wanted to pay Canelo HALF. That means the other half to create all this mess worth it? DAZN is ******. I just want to see another Canelo fight by end of year

Total nonsense. One of their biggest audiences is in japan for a start. DAZN is going strong in a lot of countries

As a business, they will be fine. They are run by billionaire business people, too smart to put all their stock in one market and country.

Dude. Japan is a first world country. 200 territories includes many third world countries. In fact the initial territories from DAZN were all 1st world countries. As I said numerous times, the Philippines will get DAZN. 1 dollar to 48. DAZN will adjust the pricing there to benefit ideal buyers, not just the upper middle class.

This is partly Canelo and his teams fault.
Who would sign with an upstart network/app because they throw a lot of dollars at you? They don't have a proven track record.

Will this effect all the other DAZN cards goin forward? I would assume so.

My Goodness this is going to be a Mess!

We might not see Canelo in the ring for a LONG TIME Not good for the sport of boxing at all this is TERRIBLE!

On the contrary, this is great for the sport of boxing.

Now hopefully these fools, including Golovkin, will start fighting each other instead of waiting on the Canelo sweepstakes.

And we also don't get staged fights like the Canelo vs Kovalev scam.

How could Canelo vs Kovalev be staged if Kovalev complained about it in post? He even judged fans to say why would anyone think he had a chance? That doesn’t reflect good on Russian fans whom would be naive to root for him. if it was staged Kovalev would’ve said “don’t worry I’ll be back and better and just fight whoever..” as well as playing along with it.

I'm sure Dazn has weighed that option already, I'd like to think they knew the inevitable. With GBP they done. The line has been drawn. Don't see Canelo with them after this is done. & they not just gonna wanna let their most important fighter go.

As for how long this will draw out, time will tell. But history tells us it will be that long if not longer.

canelo will be fighting while this trial is

it’s possible because dazn could be violating ali act by preventing a fighter from fighting for a world title.

according to the wbc, the request to fight yildirim for the title came from eddy reynoso. that means its coming from canelo himself.

canelo and dazn are currently at an impasse because dazn wont offer him more than 17.5m. even without the gate, a network like showtime can beat that guarantee.

read the signs:

canelo has hired a labor lawyer

len blavatnik’s lawyer is now speaking to canelo on behalf of dazn. skipper isnt involved.

possible coercive contract since it was hedged on canelo fighting ggg. admittedly i dont know the details of that.

now canelo makes a big chess move by requesting to fight for a title now made available.

put all that together and unless someone compromises in a huge way, either this is going to court or canelo is walking.

taking place. youll see.

If it was staged, which it was, then he wouldn't say what you are suggesting because that would make it obvious.

When you stage a fight, you obviously don't want to say anything that makes it obvious it was staged.

So what types of shots make it staged? GGG, Jacobs, when they would reach extend a right hand Canelo would counter his traditional trick. That is one of Kovalev’s consistent attacks. So what was Kovalev’s gameplan ?

I mean... you guaranteed the man the fights and money. How are you going to tell a dude he’s getting upwards of a 20 million dollar paycut... IF he fights. S hit is outrageous.

You can tell who’s on their grown man s hit in here. As a fan of boxing, it shouldn’t matter who it is. You shouldn’t ever want fighters to get f ucked out of their money. I might clown Canelo half the time but either pay the man what you contracted or let him find someone else to pay him. A 17.5 million dollar+ cut and no live gate...and that’s IF he takes it? Otherwise nothing? What? Lmao.

You are completely out of your mind to hate on a man who is now going on a 70+ million dollar pay cut (the two fights he was owed this year) in what’s supposed to be guaranteed money and fights. Unless there’s some crazy wording his attorneys missed (doubt), DAZN is about to pay Canelo AND lose him.
