It’s long been expected that former unified middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (38-1-1, 34 KOs) would sign with DAZN. Now it’s looking like the heavy-handed Kazakh star has finally made his decision.
Ring Magazine’s Mike Coppinger reported on Sunday that the two sides are close to finalizing a multi-fight deal that will call for a minimum of three fights, and as many as six in total. Assuming the deal gets done, the first fight will be scheduled for late spring/early summer and see him earn at least $10 million. If he prevails, and Canelo Alvarez beats Daniel Jacobs on May 4th, it’s likely we would see Golovkin and Canelo fight a third time in September, and GGG would reportedly make at least $30 million.
