Explain how DAZN has leverage to force Canelo to fight GGG

[killakali]

they are not gonna give him more money that's already on canelos contract...canelos says his contract does not mention ggg
ggg wasn't even with DAZN wen canelo landed that contract...ggg contract might mention a fight with canelo but canelo doesnt have to honor that

they already did lol. He made over 50 mil for the ggg rematch.

It is leverage.

Definition: In*negotiation,*leverage*is the power that one side of a*negotiation*has to influence the other side to move closer to their*negotiating*position. A party's*leverage*is based on its ability to award benefits or impose costs on the other side.

You seem focused solely on the costs side of the definition. Maybe you should have clarified.

Canelo position is I want $50 mil for GGG or I'll just fight Bernard Hopkins for my GUARANTEED $30 mil.

DAZN has two options. Pay him $30 mil or pay him $50 mil. How is that leverage on their part?

Leverage would be them telling him to fight GGG for his guarantee or they're rejecting any other fight and won't show it. That's not an option.

[Motorcity Cobra]

its still leverage. Maybe canelo wants a higher risk fight vs Kovalev or Smith for less money than what ggg would pay?

Maybe they say he can only fight in sept vs ggg or push him back.

Just because Canelo says a ggg fight isn’t in the contract doesn’t mean that’s the case or that DAZN can decline fights.

That all being said I think Canelo beats ggg clearly the third time around and should get it out of the way or fight Andrade sulecki winner for undisputed.

So DAZN's leverage is paying Canelo his guarantee or paying Canelo more than his guarantee. How does that hurt Canelo?

[Motorcity Cobra]

This is incorrect. Mayweather was guaranteed a minimum of 32 mil per fight with showtime.


But his minimum for Canelo was $41.5 million whether it sold 1 ppv or 5 million. He was paid 41.5 mil on fight. Even though he cleared way over 100 million.

Here is from Forbes:

Mayweather received a record guaranteed purse of $41.5 million purse for the fight, and as co-promoter with Golden Boy, he will also reap the spoils of the PPV haul. Mayweather is set to earn more than $80 million from the fight based on the current PPV estimates, and his final take could approach $100 million if the ultimate PPV tally exceeds 2.5 million buys. The one night payday tops the previous record in boxing of $52 million that De La Hoya received for the 2007 Mayweather fight. The Canelo fight pushes Mayweather’s career earnings over the $350 million mark. And despite his free-spending ways and penchant for gambling, Mayweather showed that he has built up a sizable nest egg in a recent ESPN The Magazine story when he displayed his $123 million balance on a bank receipt.

So Floyd had leverage over Showtime. They had to give him incentives to do what they wanted him to do because not showing his fights wasn't an option while Floyd's options were take $32 mil or take $41 mil. He's winning either way

that is then getting the ggg fight which is what they want all along lol

who said if floyd is winning or losing lol. Showtime won because a Canelo fight sold way more than say a Devon alexander fight. That was there way to force the Canelo fight which is what showtime and gbp wanted. So they were the real winner and of course Floyd was compensated. Just like DAZN wants Canelo ggg and Canelo would be compensated.

It’s means he ha to fight the guy DAZN wants if he’s the biggest payday. That’s dazn leverage baby.

[Motorcity Cobra]

that is then getting the ggg fight which is what they want all along lol

Which means they gave him an incentive to fight GGG (more money) Canelo has nothing to lose. Only gain on his part. They can't do anything to hurt him. While DAZN would lose a lot by rejecting a Canelo fight

[Longhaul]

Just maybe they are in a situation where they need it financially now or could be heading into deep waters that would not be leverage but more suggestion.I don’t now There financial situation but if it was bad enough it could be leverage if no fight they go under then Canelo contract is gone.

This ain't complicated at all. If someone is paying you you don't get how they have leverage over you? Realllllllly?

And no one with a brain is saying Canelo doesn't have his own leverage cuz he's the biggest name in the game to be fair. Leverage doesn't have to be mutually exclusive in this sorta situation. Both sides can have leverage. And sure there is a game of chicken they could have over who has more leverage & isn't a good look & could eff up both to some degree. But how you don't get DAZN has leverage I don't grasp at all. I think you are being naive to attempt your standard weirdo nearly daily DAZN thread.
