Report: DAZN execs deemed Khabib, Jorge Masvidal as ‘premium’ opponents for Canelo

[EnglishOxide]

The fact that GB made money offers to Smith and Saunders shows that DAZN also approved them as 'premium' opponents, surely?

DAZN doesn't know ***** about boxing. Talk about dumb matches and disrespecting their own boxing talent pool...I hope they go down under.

As per DAZN there aren't any big boxers for Canelo to fight so they're looking for mma guys now.

Hell, there are lots of guys at 168 and 175 that would be great and difficult fights for Canelo. Callum Smith, Beterbiev,Bivol,Plant and Benavidez would all fight him for fair pay, But does he want to fight them or a mediocre Turk for the vacant WBC 168 pound title?

If DAZN brings in MMA guys to fight boxers I am done with them.

Anything can happen money talks, but i highly doubt those are even possible fights, this cant be there excuse and court defense lol, UFC has fights lined up for both

Is DAZN really going to make it this easy,

well seeing as how in less than a day clenelo got his lawsuit dismissed we know it won't be that easy. clenelo is screwed when he can't bribe judges lol.

I wouldn't be mad at dazn. clenelo refused to fight ggg that's not the fault of dazn. at the end of the day dazn is a business they will seek the fights that make the most money.

DAZN wants to cater to casual fans. not the "hardcores" who barely spend money anyway.

Canelo vs MMA guy will do great numbers since it'll attract the casuals.

a GGG trilogy will also bring casuals in.

actually if you look at the money generated these circus fights bring in more $$ than anything else on the table.

remember Logan Paul had pro boxers on his UNDERCARD. never forget.

DAZN wants to bring in subscriptions. a circus will do that. Callum Smith or BJS are for the hardcore fans (me included in that) but the casuals is what move the needle

[MulaKO]

Surprised that Dazn doesn’t agree for Canelo to fight one of those YouTube fighters

Now that would be a good fight

DAZN's model is a fail since the beginning. Those fights are not long-term fights. They are one-and-done fights, and the casuals will never stay subscribed for other fights. If they want to stay afloat, they should start putting on good fights with their current pool of talents and make them happy. Common sense 101. This is not rocket science.
