Comments Thread For: Golden Boy Seeks Arbitration In Canelo Lawsuit; All Contracts Filed With Court

[kafkod]

Dazn is a joke and hopefully they get what's coming to them for not being American. never forget per Dan Rafael that BJS and Callum Smith are not "elite" but only ggg coming off a loss who hasnt fought in a year, Jake Paul, and Khabib would be considered "elite", they also went with hearn who I don't like because he's not American instead of Golden Boy who are American

Fixed that for you!

This is all really on Golden Boy. They didn’t protect their fighter by having specific language and making sure they and Canelo had more say in how opponents are selected. They shouldn’t have have trusted that everyone was going to play nice with this much money involved.
This probably ends one of two ways. Either GBP and DAZN come together and clarify the contract language to move forward. Or the damage is done and they come to a buyout and Canelo moves on.
I think at this point a buyout is the more likely option.
DAZN is hemorrhaging subscribers and battling their biggest draw in court for years might bury them.

Sounds absolutely ridiculous.

Oscar told Canelo too take the GGG fight, he ignored and played diva, ignoring the needs of his business PARTNERS in GBP & DAZN. DAZN pockets are deep, they’re not cowtailing to Canelo who is an athlete fighting on borrowed time. Meanwhile, Goldenboy cards continue on DAZN. Only one losing is Canelo, adjust like fighters as Fury & AJ are, or STFU go to court when you have zero chance getting out of your contract with GBP.

This was ALWAYS going to arbitration for renegotiation. The reality is that they are symbiotic, the whole is financially greater than the sum of their parts.

If they are smart they'll work it out and if not, they'll go from the Beatles to Yoko Ono/Plastic Band, Traveling Wilburys and Wings. Good? Sure! Financially successful? Oh hell no, not even close!

Yup, knew it from the jump, Golden Boy has a force majeure clause in their contract w/t the Ginger that alone protects them from ponying up the money promise to Canelo after Covid 19 ravage the world. Not just that but the kicker in all this is DAZN doesn’t have a force majeure clause in their contract w/t Golden Boy which means they end up holding the bag of $h1tt when all this is over.

Erm no, they can just rely on frustration.

I won't be shocked if Canelo doesn't fight until this time next year if that.

Wrong. Oscar told DAZN he could deliver the third GGG fight so DAZN would give him a deal for his fighters. There was no obligation for Canelo to fight GGG in his deal. When they signed Canelo GGG was a free agent so there couldn’t be.
DAZN then tried to force it by denying fights like Andrade and Canelo ended up losing his Sept date last year.
This is all on Golden Boy. They work for Canelo not the other way around and their incompetence has caused this rift.

Someone needs to leak those two deals. I'd love to know the level of sketchiness GBP was on here.

the previous GBP-Canelo deal was a pretty simple 80-20 event revenue share.

Dazn is a joke and hopefully they get what's coming to them for getting involved with boxing and not taking it serious, never forget per Dan Rafael that BJS and Callum Smith are not "elite" but only ggg coming off a loss who hasnt fought in a year, Jake Paul, and Khabib would be considered "elite", they also went with hearn who has zero track record In the US instead of Golden Boy who have promoted the biggest boxing events In the US the past decade and a half

Preach on my brother! Dazn the biggest sham ever in boxing. You have AMERICAN promoters who know the AMERICAN market who have the AMERICAN talent and you go with a foreigner????
I can’t wait to see just how much the Blockbuster Video boxing app has lost on Edward Hearn
