Comments Thread For: DAZN To Stream Canelo-Fielding Card, Future Canelo Fights

[SethP]

The Canelo undercard has A LOT more options now. Very interesting.

I bet all the hearn haters will be cutting there wrists now.....hilarious fast eddie has done it again lol

Has nothing to do with Hearn. Deal is directly with DAZN. Just like the Boxing Tournament they just bought without anything to do with Hearn.

[Boxing Logic]

The one good thing about this is hopefully with stars signing to Hearn, the UK will become the center of world boxing, not America. The reason I say that is not because the UK is any better about corrupt judges favoring home fighters, they're not, but because the UK fighters are not on average as good as the Americans, and nowhere near as dirty either, so if the UK was the center of world boxing, everyone would have more of a fair chance to succeed. Like for example let's look at GGG-Canelo. If it was GGG vs a UK fighter instead, sure the UK judges might favor the UK fighter, but odds are the top middleweight UK fighter would not be half as good as Canelo, so it would make no difference. Then GGG would win regardless of the judges, and then let's say the actual superfight, again in the UK on DAZN, would be GGG vs Andrade, for example. Just an example. Well, in the UK, it might be more fair rather than favoring the American.

So in the UK, when they favor the UK fighters, it doesnt make as much of a difference because often the UK fighters are not good enough to make it close enough to rob the other guy at least not at the elite level, and when UK fighters are not involved, hopefully they would be more fair, although the UK is still a western power just like the US so it would not surprise me to see them still favor the American fighters (or the fighters who make big money in America) over someone like GGG, even in the UK. Either way, it's more fair more of the time.

Why yall make this seem like a victory for Eddie Hearn, lol.

I wonder what the deal is.

[KTFOKING]

Wonder what the deal is? did Dazn just blow half their budget for the first year to get 1 big name?

Well, lets say they have $100-125 million in budget, what guys do they have that are making huge money? Really no one. So you are going to put on cards like the one we saw in Chicago. It is smart to spend big here to get the Canelo fight and hope to attract subscribers this way. Lets say if they did use $25-30 million on thi fight, then you still have $90-100 million for 15 other cards which is more than enough.

And this was the right call btw. Canelo fighting a no name Brit fighter wasn't going to do great numbers so it made sense for GBP to develop a relationship with Hearn. Is Canelo fighting on DAZN long term? Highly unlikely, but still great to have the biggest name stateside fighting on your network. Joshua isn't bringing in many subscribers, but I bet Canelo will.

Eddie has repeatedly said in the interviews that DAZN would be prepared to go beyond the budget for the right fights.

This ^^^^^^ DAZN wanted a seat at the table and they got it landing Canelo. But how much of their entire budget did they just fork over? They taking a risk banking on him delivering a shyt ton of subscriptions.

Eddie has an exclusive deal with DAZN. You can't get on DAZN without his consent.

[HanzGruber]

read it gumbo. Joshua & canelo and canelo is fighting fielding who is promoted by hearn.
As i said before gumbo read it and weep

Ok but the future canelo fights on dazn have nothing to do with hearn

[MasterPlan]

So, where does GGG go now.

Pac = PBC/Fox/Sho
Canelo = DAZN
GGG = ???
