As others have said, this lawsuit is a way for Canelo to get out of his contract with Golden Boy and become a free agent. Now way will Canelo get $280 million that he is suing for. This is shrewd on Canelo's part. Can't wait to see how all of this will be settled.

Nobody cares if this clown sits out -- he only fights alcoholics, body bags and frauds anyway. This is merely a cute little way to get out of his contracts with both and become a fight-by-fight free agent. He knows there's no way in Hell he gets that $280MM left on his contract.

Hate to see it but we knew he would have issues with Oscar after the **** he pulled promising DAZN a third GGG fight to get his own deal for his GBP fighters. That was some BS.

No other fighters bring in subs. It’s a fact that when Canelo fights they saw an increase in monthly and yearly subscriptions. More than AJ or any other fighter.
So DAZN is going to spend millions in court against their top draw while he’s not fighting and making them money. All while they have bleed subscribers in 2020 due to a lack of cards.
Canelo has made big money the last decade and I’ve seen legal experts say he has a solid breach of contract case. He can afford to sit out if he thinks he will win or that DAZN and Golden Boy will settle or agree to a buyout.
I’d rather be in Canelo’s position here than DAZN.

Originally posted by factsarenice View PostSo Oscar got Canelo a world record contract and he's the bad guy? How exactly does that work?
The contract isn’t clear on how opponents are determined. This has caused a roadblock when DAZN or Canelo don’t agree on the opponent.
Bigger than that was Oscar doing things before Canelo was consulted. Especially telling DAZN that Canelo would do a third fight without Canelo’s buy on. This is what really caused the tension to get to this point.
Your promoter is supposed to work in your best interests and it looks like Oscar and Golden Boy failed in this case.

They gave him near best pay without securing solid matchups. But where I disagree was money making fights were there.
Boxing is like this, you can walk the line and no one pays attention. However walk a tight rope 500 ft up and we can’t turn away.
Everyone would have watched Canelo vs Andrade, Billy Joe Sanders (When he was hot), Big Charlo, David Benevidez, Beterbiev... these are great fights. However they didn’t know if he would win so they never happened.
It would be interesting to see how taking a loss impacts Canelo contractually. They were really idiots if they said losing voids the agreement. That would explain why Canelo has been choosing safe opponents.Last edited by Fire4231; 09-09-2020, 11:52 AM.
