    So this is who DAZN feels is a “premium opponent” for Canelo

    So according to the lawsuit filed one of the biggest sticking points was what was considered a “premium” opponent for Canelo.
    His deal stated he would fight twice a year with half the opponents being a “premium” matchup. Unfortunately there was no language in the contract to define what that is. Just that it had to be mutually agreed on by all sides.
    So who was on that list? Andrade? BJS? Smith? Nope
    According to the filing Canelo asked for a list and wasn’t given one. When he forced the issue he got a list that included:
    GGG
    2 UFC fighters
    And...wait for it....not making this up...47 year old Oscar De La Hoya!!!!!
    That is too funny.

    DAZN clearly understands how to sell subscriptions.

    Canelo-GGG 3 is the biggest boxing match Canelo can make.

    The crossover fights will sell more subscriptions than anything else.

    Canelo-De La Hoya sells to the idiots who want to pay to watch Tyson-Jones.

    All the opponents Canelo has fought don’t sell.

      The premium opponents are based on who would help create a fight that people would be talking about & thus draw viewers/subscribers.

        Canelo GGG3 in 2021 isn't gonna be nearly the same fight in 2018.

        But all the Canelo fans are pretending like it is. You know just like when Canelo moved up "2 divisions" and knocked out the feared "undefeated Krusher " from 2013 who was very obviously the best at 175 and a 4 to 1 underdog.

          The canelo fans aren’t the ones clamering for a GGG trilogy in case you haven’t noticed. It’s the GGG fans that are salty about G losing that want the third fight and DAZN.

            They assume making fun of GGG is the same as Canelo fans begging for a GGG trilogy. As if Canelo fans gravitate to Wilder vs AJ or Spence vs Crawford negotiating durations ... did those guys even fight?

              Premium opponents to DAZN are those that would have sold at least 800k ppv buys if it was on ppv. So yes, those are premium fighters. Those 2 mma fighters are way more popular than any of BJS, Andrade or Smith. Same goes with ODLH.

                  yeah maybe 2 years ago.

                  No one wants to see GGG vs Canelo 3 anytime soon.

                  That fight has lost its appeal and as salty as GGG fans are we already know that he will NEVER get a decision over Canelo even if he deserved it.

                  Its not 2018 anymore. Its 2020. Get with the times.
