So Canelo is a network free agent?

[Shadoww702]

If you were Canelo would you still work with DAZN knowing they reneged not only on Golden Boy's deal but other sports rights deals worldwide? Idk, I'd be trying to get as much as I can and get out. These folks can't be trusted to live up to contractual obligations.

No, DAZN clearly dont know how this works.

[ShaneMosleySr]

No, he’s just an idiot.

We now know Canelo doesn't have a contract directly with DAZN, Golden Boy does. They get paid to deliver Canelo fights to DAZN and Canelo has a contract with Golden Boy to pay him $35 per fight on DAZN.

In the lawsuit filing Canelo said when DAZN wouldn't approve opponents or pay Golden Boy what they promised per Canelo fight he told them to explore other network options. Doing so would obviously be a breach in contract on Golden Boy's part with DAZN but on the flip side not delivering a fight for Canelo is also a breach in contract on Golden Boy's side. In that article before Oscar found out about the filing he put all the blame on DAZN for not living up to their contractual obligations. After the lawsuit a rep for Golden Boy blamed Covid, saying they're not obligated to put on a Canelo fight without a crowd.

So Canelo is free to fight anywhere as long as Golden Boy promotes it but if it's promoted on DAZN they have to pay him $35 mil minimum. Is this correct?

No it is not correct.If Canelo is a free agent then why is he suing both DAZN and Golden Boy???? If he has no contract with DAZN why would he sue them? If he is a free agent why wouldn't he just fight that Turk on showtine for the vacant WBC 168 pound ttle? That is the fight Canelo wants and asked the WBC for. I think he IS under contract with DAZN to fight for them only and he is suing them to get out of that contract plus the greedy boy wants DAZN to pay him 280 million bucks for fights he will never have with them.What this means is Canelo will be involved in a legal case and WON"T be fighting anybody until that case is resovled. You know how long these cases can take. Canelo may not fight for a year or more.

It’s a three way agreement. Canelo didn’t negotiate with DAZN directly but he’s currently still bound by it otherwise no reason to sue.
I think it will come to DAZN paying Canelo a reduced amount up front and letting him out of the deal. Maybe they work together on a fight by fight basis if Oscar and GBP are not involved.
The trickier one is Canelo and Golden Boy. I personally think Canelo has grounds for breach of co tract after Oscar made moves without his involvement that triggered all of this tension. He no longer needs GBP and they are hindering him in his prime earning years.

[boliodogs]

That’s a good question.

I take it that Oscar told Canelo that there was a possibility for an alternative broadcaster, or else that wouldn’t have been a narrative to begin with. Therefore the problem lies with GBP / DAZN contract.

DAZN could choose to forfeit GBP contract and worse sue them for “fraud.” We don’t know what the details are for what was expected to be delivered between GBP DAZN.

Looks like your baby boy will be out of action a long time. I am sure that won't stop you from starting your usual 10 threads a day about his wonderfulness. But you will have to write about what he already did or what you think he could do because he will be doing nothing for a long time. Enjoy!

Well... considering that DAZN is currently working with Alvarez’s legal directly, they may come to an agreement... that simply means to get out of trouble with Alvarez. Then the second problem is GBP vs Saul Alvarez. Contracts can be void if fraud is proven from either contracts, and Alvarez would be in the clear.

But I don’t like the idea of Canelo working with Haymon. Haymon is a ****** master

I don't get this logic. Is Canelo going there to be his bitch or something?

Hahahahahahahahahahaha

Would still love to see the reactions
Tell you what , they’re would be a lot of pedalling back if that would be the case

Tbh I don’t care. Expect a new generation of boxing fans whom will cry that Haymon is a traitor since Al would make Canelo priority among any other. In other words Haymon’s priority to push a Mexican star would be funny amongst the LDBC

[MulaKO]

Why would Canelo fans care???

CanCharlo is the fight I want the MOST!!!

I know it suits your agenda , you know with you being a fgt and all but most Canelo fans have trashed PBC


But yeah it says a lot about you
At least Franky is truthful and says he’d rather Canelo go elsewhere
Don’t tell me most Canelo fans haven’t trashed the PBC ?
