Would Canelo be DAZN's top asset and big at box office if he had a 48-6-3 record and no titles?

    Some impressive wins, but let's just say judges swung the other way and his record consist of the following losses:

    - Austin Trout
    - Floyd Mayweather
    - Erislandy Lara
    - Gennady Golovkin
    - Gennady Golovkin
    - Daniel Jacobs

    Some debatable losses for sure, but losses for the record book nonetheless that say 48-6-3 and no titles upon HBO exiting and right now?

    Definitely wouldn’t be Dazn’s top asset if he wasn’t one of the best lol. Not every close fight is an automatic loss though he clearly beat Jacobs. Floyd could have got a loss vs Castillo the first time, could have been disqualified vs Judah too.

    Well if he'd have lost to Trout he never would have fought Mayweather
    If he'd have lost to Lara he wouldn't have fought Cotto, and so then wouldn't have thought GGG or then Jacobs

    So no he wouldn't be

    The whole issue is that at the end of it all, the could go either way and robbery decisions in a fighter's advantage will get mentioned, but historically the paper decision is what counts.

    Just look at Muhammad Ali.

    Ali was past prime for all of his bad decisions, and there weren't as many

    But it has given him the opportunity to secure his biggest win of his career, and a large part of his eventual legacy and perception.

    Records dont matter. Live gates, PPV sales, ratings and media exposure does.

    I honestly don't think your record affects your box office status

    Brock Lesnar had huge ufc numbers win or loss
    Ronda Rousey still one of the biggest fighters in the world
    Fedor Emelianenko one of the biggest draws in mma history
    Pacman huge following

    Problem with Canelo is that his steriod allegations have clouded his reputation with the public and his idiot handler Oscar has done more to tarnish Canelo's career than guide it correctly.

    great as Ali was dont forget we were robbed of 3 1/2 years
    of his prime for purely political reasons just think what he could have been without that unfair ban

    Floyd lost to Maidana too, should have been DQ'D against Ortiz. Can you just imagine Cortez counting out Floyd had it been reversed lol no way in hell lol. May/Pac should have been changed to a N/C after the IVGate scandal too

    I think he'd be a bigger draw had he officially lost to Lara and GGG.

    I sat next to a guy during Canelo vs Jacobs who said, "If it goes to the cards we all know Canelo wins." He was there for the event, not the fight.
