The_budweiser Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez has filed a lawsuit against Golden Boy Promotions and broadcaster DAZN after being unable to agree terms for his next fight. The Mexican star has been inactive since a WBO light-heavyweight title win over Sergey Kovalev last November, despite being linked with a variety of opponents, including British duo Callum Smith and Billy Joe Saunders. Canelo had been expected to return on his traditional fight date of Cinco de Mayo, the Mexican holiday weekend in May, but a fight failed to materialise, and the 30-year-old has launched a legal battle, with a return date yet to be established. Damages Alvarez seeks $280m (£216m). https://www.skysports.com/boxing/news/12183/12067089/saul-canelo-alvarez-files-lawsuit-against-golden-boy-promotions-and-broadcaster-dazn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ton Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Seems like Canelo might have them by the balls here in the guaranteed money promised to him. But I haven't read too deep into the matter. So much money on the table, it's insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_budweiser Posted September 10, 2020 Author Share Posted September 10, 2020 Seems like Canelo might have them by the balls here in the guaranteed money promised to him. But I haven't read too deep into the matter. So much money on the table, it's insane. Nearly a year since he last fought. He must have money and x-amount fights built into the contract and neither have happened. I agree, it's a insane amount of money. Alvarez said in a statement: "I'm the pound-for-pound No 1 in the world. I'm not scared of any opponent in the ring, and I'm not going to let failures of my broadcaster or promoters keep me out of the ring." He's defo blaming the broadcaster and promoter for his failings. Going to be interesting and a lengthy process which might keep Canelo out the for some considerable time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonRingRules Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 --- If the sweeten the pot and Canelo fights GGG at 168, they'll hug and kiss and he'll fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selij Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Clenelo has a '10 fights in 5 year' deal, and he's suing them for the remainder of the money for the 7 fights he hasn't had yet.... is he on Oscar's free beak supply ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ton Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Dazn got a bit of praise for them not "sanctioning" the attempted Yildrim fight, but have also read that they are looking for better opposition and that they didn't deem Jacobs or Kovalev "top level" opponents :noidea: That could just be hearsay, along with the other rumour that they would consider some bouts vs top UFC stars as worthy to put on, but I am very skeptical about the truth in that. It's a shit show all round really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonRingRules Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 -- Time for Canelo to debut Dancing With The Stars. I'm sure flashy face masks and stunning attire can be made. Let's remember too that the rules of everyone's lives have changed in The Great Corona Virus Panic of 2020 that this kicked sheesh show off, mine included.

LondonRingRules Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 - -I'm reading the Cali lawsuit was dismissed because of an error. Oscar owns Cali, so no surprises there. Meanwhile WBC ordered purse bids for Yildrim...only in boxing, folks!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selij Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Couple of big meetings last week between Dazn management and Clenelo's mob. All the details spilled on last week's Max on Boxing by Mike C. They've basically agreed he can fight cans but he will get a revised $20m per fight instead of $35m. ** Max posted here Dazn have been looking for, and were relying on Clenelo, for the simultaneous 200+ country rollout (inc the UK - I have been on the beta testing program) with a marquee event from him. With this now not happening, the worldwide launch seems to be on hold. If Clenelo insists on holding Dazn to the original agreement it will create some sort of a stalemate akin to the Dre situation. And we all want to see Clenelo in action. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonRingRules Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 --- Canelo had the option to refile the suit with the minor corrections made, but seemingly did not since negotiations were undertaken. He wants a Nov/Dec bout and the all want to get back to what brought them together, FIGHTING! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
