One of boxing’s biggest stars is now a free agent.

ESPN reporters that four-division world champion Canelo Alvarez has been released from his contract with Golden Boy Promotions and DAZN, which puts an unceremonious end to his lucrative $365 million deal with the streaming service after just three fights. It’s also a hammer blow for Golden Boy, which has relied heavily on Alvarez for their bottom line.

Eddy Reynoso, Canelo’s trainer and manager, released this statement prior to the ESPN report indicating that the Mexican superstar officially entered free agency.

“In my role as manager and coach of Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez, I allow myself to communicate to the boxing community and to all our fans that starting today, November 6th, Canelo becomes a free agent, so we are ready to continue with his boxing career,” Reynoso wrote.

I'm not too sure of the reason for this personally.

People are saying that he wanted out because he wanted fights that they wouldn't agree to which kept stalling agreements.

Whoever manages to pick him up, as long as they are willing to give him what he wants is in for a big payday.

RIP Golden boy.

Go to Mayweather....he could get Canelo close to his Showtime deal.

I mean he is Golden Boy and to me the P4P best Boxer in the World right now even though I thought GGG beat him twice still facts are facts right now. Pacman went to Mayweather so why not another former opponent of Floyd's wanting to make that high dollar for future fights. Del La Hoya out here doing drugs letting this guy walk and not give him what he wants.
