Press conference for Canelo's next fight on Wed. Who do you think is showing it?

[Wolfie*]

HBO? Dazn? Showtime? Who's picking up the fight and potentially Canelo and Golden Boy's stable? Thoughts?

[Randall Cunning]

I think Golden Boy are going DAZN

HBO for this fight. Not sure what Canelo/Golden boy do next.

[Phenom]

Wasn't it kind of confirmed it's HBO?

If it's PPV I don't see why HBO would turn it down considering it's money in their pocket. If it's not PPV I'm not sure who's showing it

Where was this?

I suspect the most likely options are a last fight on HBO or a one off fight on DAZN.

I'll be surprised if they worked out a deal already. I think just due to the options out there (HBO PPV only + GBP roster elsewhere, DAZN, Showtime, ESPN, some new or current streaming platform, some bigger FB deal or some network thats not currently showing boxing). I think you need to work through some offers a lil bit before you make a big move with the current landscape so this fight as a one off with DAZN or a last HBO card gives them a few more weeks to figure sh^t out.

Kevin Iole who was on Chris Mannix's podcast the other day seems to believe the fight will be a one off with DAZN that turns into a long term deal afterwards. So I tend to lean towards a one off deal with DAZN being the most likely play for this specific fight, but I think there long term move is still up in the air. GBP doing a one off deal would suggest that DAZN might be the long term favorite currently doe.

I just dont see Showtime or ESPN giving them the dates they want. Whats Oscar gunna want 15-20 dates, more? How are they gunna fit that in with what they already have. DAZN, he can have as many dates as he wants.

Dates I think are just part of the equation. And the lesser part of it. Plus I doubt that FB situation is ending soon & I think GBP could parlay that into something later even if its just guys having bigger names & a more casual following.

I think money is more important. And idk that DAZN can pay Canelo PPV money or wants to pay him PPV money. It could be a lighting money on fire move by DAZN & its basically Canelo saying his appeal has maxed out cuz PPV = unlimited money in theory.

That said I've mentioned before I don't think a multi-platform deal is THAT crazy. I could see DAZN getting his "Rocky Fielding" type fights & Canelo making a deal with ESPN or Showtime for his GGG III PPV type fights. And then its a much more reasonable move to agree on a budget for the rest of the GBP roster.
