Gennady Golovkin reportedly closing in on multi-million dollar DAZN deal to make Canelo trilogy very likely
The former middleweight king is said to have chosen his new US broadcaster
Gennady Golovkin is reportedly on the verge of finalising a mega money deal to fight on DAZN in America.
The Kazakh has not been seen in the ring since suffering his first defeat to Canelo Alvarez in their rematch last September.
Since that bout, his TV contract with HBO has expired and the company have moved out of boxing.
Enter DAZN.
According to , the fledgling streaming service have offered the former middleweight champion an agreement consisting of three bouts, which could rise to six depending on his performances.
He’s expected to earn around $15million for his return in late spring/early summer before then likely getting $30million to face Canelo Alvarez again in a seemingly inevitable trilogy.
After beating Golovkin, Canelo himself agreed a mega DAZN deal.
Fellow middleweight champions Daniel Jacobs and Demetrius Andrade are both also on the platform.
May 4 will see the return of Canelo as he fights to unify titles against Jacobs. After that, a September GGG fight now looks to be a very real possibility.
