    Canelo Alvarez sues Golden Boy Promotions and DAZN over alleged contract breaches

    Lawsuit filed

    Canelo Alvarez filed a lawsuit against Golden Boy Promotions and DAZN seeking at least $280 million in damages. Alvarez alleges breaches related to his boxing agreements and says DAZN declined to pay a license fee. These are allegations contained in the complaint and have not been established as court findings.

    Source excerpt

    • The complaint, filed on September 8 in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, includes Alvarez’s longstanding promoters Golden Boy Promotions and Oscar De La Hoya, as well as sports broadcaster DAZN, as defendants.
    • A dispute arose when, in June, DAZN said it would not pay the license fee and allegedly used Alvarez’s failure to fight professional boxer Gennady Golovkin in 2019 as an excuse.
    • Twenty-three months later, after Alvarez fought in only three boxing matches (all victories), he is suing for damages of at least $280 million.
