    Here's part of the article.

    :eeeeek:

    DAZN haters are going to be hurt when they wake up and see how big and long term this deal is. I expect more big names to be coming by the end of 2018, I'm thinking either Golovkin or Tank Davis next.

    Crazy numbers, wow!

    I wonder what this means for Canelo's opponents though with such a long-term deal. DAZN will NOT want (allow ?)him to lose early on, but to recoup that money they can't fight 11 gimmes like Fielding either.

    Why is it in boxing a loss is seen by fans as such a disaster. In MMA they don't have this issue. McGregor their biggest star loses but it doesn't really matter as everyone loses and he can come again.

    What matters with this Canelo deal is the fights. Him losing doesn't kill the ability to recoup. What matters is the quality of fights he is in. If fighting a Danny Jacobs for example resulted in a defeat then so be it, more important is the the fight itself.

    I agree that that's the way it should be, however modern boxing fans are fixated on avoiding losses. It's a real problem.

    This makes DAZN a powerhouse a service many have been talking mad **** about since it's launch, They are major players now. And all you can come up with is stupid names and possibilities that more than likely aren't going to happen. My goodness you are salty, make sure you stay close to your loved ones today so they can keep a eye on you lol.

    They must be devastated that their viewing numbers will go through the roof, and that they'll be on the same network as the golden boy fighters, I'd be furious too...

    I know GGG fans were fixated on him avoiding losses. They just wanted him to make the most cash possible. I think most other fans want their favourite fighters to challenge the best
