Comments Thread For: Golden Boy Promotions Confirms Split With Canelo, Will Move Forward With DAZN Partnership

[Mario g]

DAZN almost immediately regretted spending so much on him even though he is the only fighter that brought in viewers and subscriptions. DAZN seemed to have a disdain for Canelo ever since signing him. He was not treated like the star he is by DAZN. Does anyone think De La Hoya or Mayweather in their primes would of been treated so poorly? Instead DAZN backed an over the hill GGG who refused to fight anyone with a pulse. It just makes no sense the way DAZN handled its boxing program. They had the biggest star in the sport. A star Showtime or ESPN would beg to have. The only one who could generate big viewer numbers and more subscriptions yet they treated him as if he had the plague.

Well, he can now face who he wants, but the good fighters that I would like to see him face are aligned with DAZN such as Saunders and Smith. As for Charlo he is afraid to fight Canelo and he is content with fighting C level fighters so I do not see that fight happening anytime soon. I cancelled my DAZN sub long ago.

I think after facing a cherry pick he should fight Beterbiev. If Canelo wins ( fair and square) which is asking for alot, He will be #1 PFP in my eyes. A Bivol fight would be awesome too. But will we see it?

I take it Eddie Hearn slept with your wife again.

I wouldn't worry I hear seriously Haymon is going to start his own PBC world championship belts (no joke), PBC American born fighters only, all fights in the USA (ok American champions never fight abroad anyway) minimum 100 dollar PPV's in small halls so normal service will be resumed soon anyway.

It's interesting when Americans take over the world's soccer teams, put NFL games in their stadiums and send over their boxing stars and promoters none of this insula bile comes out ..

Lmao 🤣. Let's see if clenelo still ducks Jermall Charlo. Now Ryan Garcia becomes the crying man. No way does de la ho let him near Tank Davis🥊

[ShoulderRoll]

Good move. Canelo will no longer be forced to tolerate disrespect, such as waiting for a UFC main event to be over before he can start his fight.

DAZN is bush league and incompetent. They are getting exactly what they deserved.

Damn Oscar must be pissed off I know I would be if I was him and I lost my golden goose so to speak from my stable off fighters I promoted...

Shame really I guess Alvarez in the end wanted to go Solo and do his own thing for one reason or another he moved onto his own thing who knows maybe he thought cutting out the middle man (Promoters) means less restrictions and more pay for him?

[SchoolTheseCats]

Yeah I said that years ago.

He’ll need to do a deal somewhere though.

Logically seems like Showtime would be a good option.

Don’t even see him signing a broadcasting deal be a complete free agent free to fight on any network he wants

You think he's got a wife?! What woman would want that?

They always need an enemy. If there's no outside enemy, they start fighting eachother.

So Saul vs Plant? WTF?!?!?!?! Another weak opponent in the 168 division. WACK AF

[James Hunt]

Name those fighters you speak of that have a better resume than CaneloTo be considered P4P best? Of course he made the right decision, DAZN is not going to last much longer, I expect other guys like Ortiz and Garcia to follow suit, DAZN gives fighters no exposure, Fox or ESPN will do much better.

What's the use of all that super-duper "exposure" when no business wants to be associated with all those super "exposed" fighters. Canelo, Ryan or AJ have more sponsors than all PBC guys together.

Really? Because I remember you and others on this site claiming Canelo was ducking Plant earlier this year. Now that fight is a strong possibility and all of sudden Plant is weak. Alrighty, got you....
