Shut your dumbass up

Keyboard warrior in here battling it out from your parents basement for Canelo 😂

[bigtyivier2k2]

well i dont think anyone really cared that andre ward sat out. what did we really miss? headbutts and wrestling? canelo seems to have a lot more fans where andre ward barely had any. also wards undoing was completely his fault and refusal to fight anyone good. canelo has tried but opponents have turned him down over money where ward went to court becasue he though he should be able to fight anyone he wanted. also the corona virus has certainly changed things as everything is up in the air

Bro Ward fought killers you buggin

For Canelo's sake, I hope he knows something we don't, and uses it as a leverage play.

I don't get why he's suing GBP, that's just fighting an uphill battle for no reason. Right now they're defending him saying it's all DAZN's fault, but if things start going badly for GBP, they'll switch sides against Canelo and he'll have no chance.

Canelo's reasoning makes no sense either. Sports tanked everywhere due to the pandemic, he's asking GBP to give him an alternate and they can't.. because a) there are none, and b) hello, they have a contract with DAZN?

Unless he realllllllly knows a secret, he's gonna be dragged through courts for 2-3 years, and most likely will not get anything.

Sounds like they don’t want to pay the $300 million they offered.
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.

still. Dazn has more power and mobey than canelo. If the contract state's that dazn has a say on canelos opponents. I don't see much going canelos way. I really don't care either way. He lost a case a few years back when he changed promoters. Him and dlh paid a few millions.

This clown is not the best fighter in the world or #1 P4P. He should be kissing golden boys lace covered ass for getting him all the gift decisions that he got.

Ahhh another truth denier. You possibly a flat earther too? Lol. Last time I checked boxingrec or any other site that carries a fighter’s record....here let me check... yup one loss.

It must really chap your A$$ that Canelo is #1 PFP.

This is what happens in 2020 when you try to force boxers to face their toughest competition. They sue you.

You think De La Hoya is Canelo's toughest competition?

Because that's who DAZN listed as one of their approved, "premier" opponents.

No question fight fans would view any of those matchups, but how many PPV buys would they get? A million at 69.99 grosses 70 mil, but if you pay canelo 40, what do you have left after you cover promotional costs?

Great matchups would have done great numbers. Great fights would have stopped the financial bleeding. Great matchups would have encouraged further investment. Great matchups would have made it worthwhile to be apart of the DAZN experiment. But we are in agreement about overpaying Canelo. They had a billion dollar war chest and 360 million of it was spent on Canelo. I said this when it was announced, what a dumb move for Dazn to pay Canelo that much money. Especially if they weren’t going to match him aggressively.

DAZN is currently bleeding money and subscribers. I’m sure they can afford good lawyers but it’s not profitable to have your bigges driver of subs in court and not in the ring making DAZN money.
Also if they settle with Canelo or go to trial and Canelo wins most likely DAZN would pay Canelo’s legal costs.
