GGG joins DAZN

[smashup]

DAZN & Matchroom are just bulldozing everyone!!!
Big rumours too that Showtime are running out of cash and can't compete.


Gennady Golovkin will be unveiled as the latest big-money signing for DAZN early next week, World Boxing News has learned.

The former middleweight king and three-time WBN Fighter of the Year has been inundated with TV offers since the demise of HBO.

Talks with ESPN and Showtime have been overshadowed by DAZN. Coupled by the desire for a redemption shot at Canelo Alvarez.

Should Canelo overcome Danny Jacobs as expected on May 4th in Las Vegas, Golovkin is lined up to face the Mexican this September.

The pair fought around the same time in both 2017 and 2018. Canelo forced a draw and a victory in two closely-fought contests.

‘GGG’ has since laid down claims to winning the two bouts outright. And now bids to extend the saga by inking on the dotted line with DAZN.

WBN understands the contract will be a minimum of two fights, which could be extended to as much as five or six in the future.

Damn.


I think someone said this already. It's not that I'm against streaming or anything of the sort.
I just think there's a certain allure to watching boxing with all its bells and whistles as a huge event on a big ass TV...... that DAZN just ain't gonna provide.


Hooray for technology and the demystifying of boxing!

DAZN are doing brilliant things for boxing.
1 years subscription for a little more $$ than ONE big US PPV event to get all the fights they offer is amazing value.

And still haven’t met one person in USA who has DAZN, asked 2 professional fighters I work with yesterday if they knew anyone who has DAZN and neither knew anyone. They are throwing money away. Good for the fighters. Bad for the fans to have to pay for more and more platforms and have more and more roadblocks between fights. But MW is DAZN for the foreseeable future

Really don’t understand the trend on this site to root for a platform and a promoter rather than root for fights

In the UK, this is all on Sky TV so nothing changes for us.

DAZN sign Jacobs, sign Canelo, now they fight. What about that don't you like? Other than Edwards involvement of course. You were frothing at the mouth for Jacobs to get a crack a few months back.

No one cares about Eddie or DAZN. They care about what content it brings to them, for free.
