If he's not fighting Charlo, Andrade or Beterbiev then he might as well stay gone.

one thing about boxing.. it's gonna move on. no 1 name is bigger than the sport

DAZN dksab. When Oscar was negotiating with them he showed them the Floyd PPV numbers like they had something to do with promoting Floyd. He was just using their license to promote his fights. They didn't understand the relationship between Floyd & Golden Boy. DAZN dksab

Anyone could promote Canelo now, but when did he last sign a contract with GBP? He must've felt there was something to gain from being a part of their organization

Idr exactly when he resigned to be fair. But he was either the biggest name or a top 3 name cuz he's been among the top guys for awhile now. And there had been conflict between Canelo & GBP/Oscar by that point so it seemed the perfect time for Canelo to look into other options.

the money they guaranteed him which they are no longer willing to pay him.

DAZN pushed Canelo’s image hard for 2 years, that he was their exclusive boxer for the world.

DAZN in all territories promoted his image. Therefore, DAZN will have a hard time justifying their defense when territories like Germany and Japan continue to grow harmlessly.

At this rate the damages become apparent. Also DAZN marketed Canelo fights “Soon” for the Global launch. That is technically fraud. Offering and marketing an investment to gain optimistic subs while they push their other sports. DAZN is a Global “Sport” app and they cross promote content. Therefore, you have to prove to the court that football buyers have no interest in boxing at all. Germans and Japanese have a healthy boxing culture.

Canelo has given DAZN 3 American site fights plus they have offices in the USA.

I see Canelo winning this case. As long as DAZN continues to make profits it benefits him. Since ESPN has offered fights Q3-Q4, it means DAZN has wasted two fights for their premier boxer.

They should’ve bit the bullet (and agree to his 30% cut) to pay him. The problem is that at the executive level a lot of the execs think about their shares and how not to lose money themselves. This common in corporations, and courts know that circumstance. Unless DAZN shows proof that they would have decided to shut its business then I see Canelo getting his money, but unfortunately on the bench.

Canelo got dropped and got up and came back with a big left hook to the body on DAZN but DAZN then countered with a sneaky right hand through the guard of Canelo, 30 secs to go in round 1!

Canelo should have never included Oscar in his suit, dummy think this is boxing, no this is business, you needed Oscar as your allie. Now GBP & DAZN are joining forces against you, refusing to make the contract available publicly, and forcing you into arbitration, as both contracts require.

[Zaroku]

Interesting. Not sure of the details, or if the contract has binding arbitration?

[Oldskoolg]

In theory, I agree with you. Unfortunately, the big time promoters get things done for their top line fighters. GBP groomed Canelo, and kept him as the A-Side for his fights.

Now don't get me wrong, Canelo is a future HOFer and very good fighter. But what do you think his Resume or Record would be without GBP?

Canelo has fought on hbo, showtime, and dazn, at no time has he ever needed GBP....in fact where would GBP be without Canelo? Canelo would have been big on ESPN and FOX as well

[Nightfall]

Clenelo should’ve stayed with ( SHOW TIME) What a mess 😂🤣😂😂
