Alvarez’s free agency could make a third Golovkin bout either less likely or more expensive. Or he could demand more money for a promoter aligned with DAZN to organize another Golovkin rematch. Alvarez and Golovkin’s first bout generated $27.1 million in ticket sales, money that helped finance the fighters’ eight-figure guarantees. “It’s not my fault that this fight has not taken place,” Golovkin told Agence France-Presse.
