    Surely it cannot be the same. I think Floyd has milked all he can at the perfect time. Given the massive unemployment in the US, Canada, UK, there is no way the PPV buys and the amount the networks can afford to pay the fighters will be the same.

    I have read and heard rumours that DAZN is contemplating going to Canelo, Golovkin, AJ in order to renegotiate their deals.

    UFC 249 had 700,000 buys, at $65, which is decent for that organization. In total, that's $45.5 million. But is that enough to cover a star-studded title fight in boxing these days?

    Not when DAZN is paying Clenelo thirty plus million a fight.
