Comments Thread For: Canelo: DAZN Didn't Pressure Me To Take Golovkin Fight

[alexjust]

I have to say I'm struggling to rationalize the reasons Canelo has become the biggest diva in boxing who commands everything and everyone. He is an excellent fighter - yes, but so are many more in and outside of his divisions. Personality? My shoe laces have more charisma than he does. Not speaking English has nothing to do with it (btw, he could give it a shot at learning the language really or is he too afraid his image would suffer is he doesn't speak English as well as he fights? Insecure). You guys should stop buying into this A-side nonsense, its an illusion created by fans, believed in by the fans and can also be dispelled by the fans.

Canelo knows his worth. On PPV GGG made business sense as it would get the most PPV buys. On DAZN his money is guaranteed so he no longer needs GGG.
Turns out GGG’s deal is a mix of cash and DAZN equity. Seeing as how DAZN isn’t currently profitable that doesn’t mean much right now. Canelo is saying GGG needs to earn his own worth. He’s done letting BBB side profit off of his name. He’s the Cash Cow.
DAZN gave him that deal without being able to dictate his opponents. They had to to sign him.
Anyone that’s built the leverage that Canelo has would have the same mindset.

GGG just beat the guy Canelo gave up a belt to avoid. Maybe now Canelo will fight Devy...or maybe avoid Charlo, Andrade, BJS, Devy, Sulijic and just fight Mungia, Murata and Lemieux .

GGG needs to move on with his boxing life.

If their path cross again so be it but enough already.

I saw enough in their last fight and in GGG's fight against Devy that he will never beat Canelo.

Move on.

I agree about the diva's personality (or lack of one).
Also he makes all these statements about how he has no fear, it's his era etc, but when you look at his record he seems to most of the time be fighting the weakest champ he can find at the weight,(Liam Smith, Fielding, Cotto and now Kovalev)

Sure.. the same Devy GGG AVOIDED previously and fought semi retired Vanes Martirosyan to preserve a payday against Canelo!!

And the establishment made sure to award the decision to the "brand name" this time around to ensure another Canelo payday.

Enough already. He needs to move on and defend against the fighters you just listed.

Thankfully the IBF does not mess around and will strip you in a heart beat if you start messing around with their belt!!

it's great that writers no longer refer to the rematch as controversial

they obviously no longer feel any need to pander to the casuals

Keith Idec has been the same one repeating more than anyone the narrative that Dazn wants & wanted Ggg to face Canelo at any cost & that Canelo had to fight Dazn tooth & nail not to be forced to.

This same false narrative claims that the reason Dazn is so desperate to make the trilogy is because they signed ggg to a lucrative deal hes not worth without a 3rd Canelo fight & that without that fight it's somehow screwing over Dazn.

Well that is provably nothing but a fallacy clearly based on 1 ggg fan reporters personal interest in ggg getting another Canelo fight.(its obvious Idec is a ggg fan much more than nelo)The reason I can prove this for a fact is because that narrative not only makes zero sense,but it's also completely dependant on such lame examples of supposed proof as "Dazns executive said that's a fight he wants to make",

well Dazns skipper also said that when a fighter like Canelo jumps 2 divisions to face #1 like kovalev that its a fight that sells itself,& that thats exactly why he signed Canelo & doesn't need to convince him of anything as he already does whats best for business anyways without ggg because" he tries making history."

they know that Canelo is on a mission to make big fights

the most productive input they could muster... would be to STFU, and stand aside... Canelo obviously does not need any "help"

Golovkin
Golovkin
Fielding
Jacobs
Kovalev

You do know that GGG has ducked everyone that you mentioned right? Charlo,BJS, Andrade and Devy have been calling for a fight against GGG to earn a Nelo fight. He wasted two fights Rolls and Vanes to avoid those guys as well.
