"Gennady Golovkin to be confirmed on DAZN ahead of Canelo trilogy fight"

Gennady Golovkin will be unveiled as the latest big-money signing for DAZN early next week, World Boxing News has learned.

The former middleweight king and three-time WBN Fighter of the Year has been inundated with TV offers since the demise of HBO.

Talks with ESPN and Showtime have been overshadowed by DAZN. Coupled by the desire for a redemption shot at Canelo Alvarez.

Should Canelo overcome Danny Jacobs as expected on May 4th in Las Vegas, Golovkin is lined up to face the Mexican this September.

The pair fought around the same time in both 2017 and 2018. Canelo forced a draw and a victory in two closely-fought contests.

‘GGG’ has since laid down claims to winning the two bouts outright. And now bids to extend the saga by inking on the dotted line with DAZN.

WBN understands the contract will be a minimum of two fights, which could be extended to as much as five or six in the future.

Golovkin will warm-up for the Canelo trilogy fight beforehand, possibly in May or June as the Kazakh puncher aims to eventually regain his belts.

Canelo does have that tough assignment against Jacobs. Should he prevail, the Mexican superstar will bring the WBC, IBF, Ring Magazine and controversial WBA strap with him.

LAS VEGAS

A venue for Canelo v Golovkin III is expected to be a huge bone of contention, though. It’s thought Golovkin will push for the fight to be moved outside of Las Vegas.

This means Canelo will not be able to follow through with his usual fight on Mexican Independence weekend in Nevada.

New York, Los Angeles or Texas are alternative considerations. But there’s even rumors a European football stadium complete with a roof might be an outside option for the fall.

Whatever happens, Golovkin signing with DAZN is a clear indication of a third fight. If it takes place at the 160 or 168 limits is another talking point.

The confirmation of Golovkin’s debut under DAZN will give a clearer picture of whether a move up in weight is on the cards.

Recently becoming a three-division ruler, Canelo holds titles at middle and super-middle. In contrast, Golovkin has fought at 160 his entire career.

Despite already being assured of future Hall of Fame status, the general consensus is Golovkin needs to win a belt north of the middleweight limit to enhance his legacy.

Thoughts?

EO is striking again behind one of his clones?

As for GGG. He wants to collect more big money before he retires. I think he would still kick some as.es at 160 lbs(BJS, Jermall and Andrade).

Golovkin has "laid claims" to winning both fights?

He oughta run that silly thought by Abel Sanchez.

Feeling are the Sanchez wants to eventually work in the Canelo camp.

But who doesn't?

Golovkin understands boxing better than Sanchez. Nobody doubts that he won the first fight and barely anybody gave the second one to Canelo except two corrupt judges.

there always used to be talk of ggg not making the money his talent deserved, but in the end it looks like good ol ggg will financially have a great career that is even greater then his talent, he can thank canelo for much of that

[boxing_rocks]

in the end it looks like good ol ggg will financially have a great career, he can thank canelo for much of that

He would probably be in even better shape if in 2006 he signed with Hearn or Arum instead of Universum.

No matter who GGG would've signed back then, still he would 've been avoided by Sturm, Martinez, Quillin, JCCJr, etc. At that time GGG was very hungry to prove himself against a top ranked mw champion.

He would have his name built way faster and by 2009-2010, those guys would be happy to fight him. Look at Loma's or Usyk's careers.

Yes, Golovkin is the wisest man on earth.

And naturally, the judges are always corrupt if the fighter you despise wins and you live blindly in the Land of Oz.

Let's not pretend that I am the only one thinking so. Overwhelming majority thinks that Golovkin never lost to Canelo.

I don't know if it's overwhelmingly majority, but there's an awful lot of folks who would agree.

.....and every bit of that overwhelming majority is wrong and history will forever show that.
No reasonable observer has a problem with the verdict in the second fight.
Close fight that could have went either way on the cards, the fact that it didn't go to the guy you wanted to win does not make it a robbery and never will.

Probably, only if those big promoters would've thrown big money (>2M's) for those names to fight GGG.

who did u have winning 4 ggg vs jacobs and ggg vs canelo 1

[apollo creed]

GGG won vs Jacobs and Canelo I, period! Watch those fights again. In the Canelo II fight, GGG lost but still it was close.

Only haters are trying to denigrate GGG. Also don't forget that GGG was the older fighter.

About as much as the haters foolishly denigrate Canelo at every opportunity.

And the "Golovkin is old" mantra (the saving grace of frustrated Golovkin Groupies) seems to only apply when he fights credible opponents.

Put him in there with a semi-retired junior middleweight and Govkin looks 25.

But when he's confronted with capable middleweights (and even a tiny champion welter), much of that bogus
greatness and power mysteriously evaporates.

And BTW, I scored both fights for Canelo 8-4.

Not difficult matches to score if you rightfully dismiss Golovkin's meaningless aggressiveness in the first fight and focus instead on Canelo's clear superiority in clean effective punching in both bouts.

And I scored the Golovkin-Jacobs fight 115-112 for Golovkin.

27 y/o fighter fighting a 34 y/o fighter is f-cking notable difference. Get your facts straight!

[greg]

..my understanding is that the doper hopelessly lost the first fight..I also blame GGG and his team for agreeing to hold a rematch in Las Vegas...human greed I guess, they should have known better..

There are no facts here except the numbers. Fighters age differently.

When Golovkin looked ordinary against Brook, Jacobs and Canelo, his apologists all chirped in unison "But he's getting old!!"

I just said that maybe it was because he was no longer picking on C level fighters. A better breed of boxers were exposing the Golovkin flaws.

But I was assured that it was age, not lack of greatness, that was making Golovkin appear limited.

I didn't believe it, but Golovkin fanatics want to. They're difficult to discourage.

And then magically a C+ level fighter in super welter Martiroysan was introduced and voila---Golovkin looked young and destructive again.

All that old age suddenly disappeared overnight when he faced the right, vulnerable opponent.

Age has nothing to do with Golovkin's struggles. It's simply that at 26 or 36, he's never been the fighter so many pretend he is.

Higher caliber fighters have proven that. Canelo has always been better. Ask Sanchez. He knows.

Don't twist it and play it like that. 34/35 y/o statistically it's a age of declining for a boxer. We are not talking about wines, here.

[boxing_rocks]

And BTW, I scored both fights for Canelo 8-4.

For that you needed to give Canelo rounds he CLEARLY lost. Adelaide Pipino, get the f*ck off Canelo's dick.

That's pretty cool of you to start one of your crap posts with a disclaimer like that!

[kbackup408]

I think if the numbers speculated for GGG from DAZN are true, boxing truly is booming to offer a fighter almost plateauing that amount of money is crazy!
