On Tuesday, Canelo Alvarez filed a lawsuit against his promoter, Golden Boy Promotions, and his broadcast partner, DAZN, alleging breach of contract and seeking a minimum of $280 million in damages.
Two years ago, Alvarez and DAZN agreed to the richest deal in boxing history. Alvarez would fight on DAZN for his next 11 fights at a price of $365 million. All parties involved have had a variety of disagreements since that time, specifically in terms of potential opponents and payments for upcoming bouts.
