    Clear message for Golovkin.

    Hearn said they already have Andrade and Jacobs. The trilogy fight won’t happen for a while, as now Canelo is Hearn’s cashcow as well.

    I don't think this will be true. The fight may have to be on DAZN but I don't think every fighter needs to be an DAZN fighter.

    He just said it on an interview. He said Charlo won’t get the Canelo fight because Charlo is not a DAZN fighter, also he said Gervonta only gets Tarver if he joins.

    Depending on how much DAZN will be willing to pay his opponents after the outlay and his history of failed drug tests and controversial scorecards people might not even want to.

    At the moment people want the payday so put up with Canelo's diva BS but if you're paying them a pittance then you might not find them so willing to do business with him under his current terms.

    I know but I still have doubts. I'm not convinced of GGG doesn't sign to DAZN that fight can't happen.

    DAZN have great leverage to convince fighters to sign up but if the public are calling for certain fights I'm not sure they can ignore demand.

    This makes no sense. DAZN will fail if this is true.

    At first DAZN seemed like a breath of fresh air

    Well I think it means it would have be exclusively screened on DAZN.

    Which is fair, they have just lumped out a reported minimum $365 million.

    Personally I wouldn't be too keen on letting another platform show a Canelo fight if I had just lumped out that sort of money.

    Canelomania is running wild dude. You better get on our network and agree to our terms if you wanna talk turkey about part 3 with Canelo, Jack.

    He said if you want to fight Canelo, then you must fight on DAZN.

    Doesn't mean u have to be a DAZN fighter

    Eddie's getting a little too confident at this point. Arum, Haymon and Hearn should be attempting to make big money fights for their guys irrespective of what "street" they're on. I'm sick and tired of watching boxers only fight other boxers from their promotional company- it just limits how many good fights can be made.

    No, he never. You're the third person I've seen say this. Why are you lying or making it up? Why do people do this!!!!! Arghhhhhhh

    He clearly says if you want to fight Joshua or Canelo then you need to be a DAZN fighter. Not "you need to have the fight on DAZN".

    I think saying you won't get a fight unless you are a DAZN fighter is stupid, has to be exclusively on their network? Fine.

    It's in that video, the promising thing was him saying he wants to make the champions fight each other, as we all would get more quality fights/trilogies.

    This is why boxing is svcking plus on top of that you still have to wait several years to watch a fight everyone wants to see because one boxer is playing the waiting game for years till the other opponent loses or gets old.
