Saul Alvarez (49-1-2, 34 KOs) and Gennady Golovkin (38-0-1, 34 KOs) are fighting this Saturday on September 15 in Las Vegas. This fight will be broadcasted on HBO by Pay-per-View.

Both fighters in recent years have cooperated exclusively with HBO, and Saturday's battle will be the last for Canelo and GGG under previously agreed contracts. After that, Saul and Gennady will be able to negotiate with other television partners. The ESPN channel and the DAZN stream-platform, which recently appeared on the market, have recently been the most active players at the American boxing market. Next year ESPN and DAZN plan to show dozens of boxing evenings.

At the stake of the battle of Alvarez and Golovkin will be the WBA and WBC middleweight titles. The first fight of these boxers a year ago, ended in a draw.
