Gennady Golovkin wants a 3rd crack at Canelo Alvarez -- telling TMZ Sports the plan is to start negotiating the trilogy fight right after he beats up Steve Rolls next weekend. Ggg and Canelo fought to a draw when they first battled back in 2017 -- and when they ran it back in Sept. 2018, Canelo got the victory in a controversial decision.

In this week’s International TV Newswire: the logic of an Mediapro Ipo; Tve’s ‘Monteperdido’s’ renewed.
Mediapro Ipo: Don’T Hold Your Breath
The big TV news from Spain this week, at least according to financial newspaper “El Confidencial,” is that Mediapro, the Barcelona based multinational is preparing to seek an initial stock market listing. Potential investors should not hold their breath. It looks very unlikely to happen this year. Given that, the value sought by Mediapro, according to El Confidencial, of €3 billion ($3.3 billion) seems pure speculation. There is a logic, however, to a mid-term stock market float, as one of the ways to finance further growth at Mediapro as it drives ever more into high-end drama series production without abandoning its past core business of sports right brokering and services.

Exclusive: Mark Wahlberg’s Unrealistic Ideas and Peter Berg’s Film 45 have set a multi-series partnership with rising sports streaming outlet Dazn.
The pair, both avid boxing fans, are beginning the venture by teaming for an edition of Dazn’s 40 Days that is pegged to Gennadiy “Ggg” Golovkin’s fight with Steve Rolls at Madison Square Garden on June 8. The show, which launched earlier this year as a core franchise offering behind-the-scenes looks, this time will zero in on the lead-up to the bout, which is Golovkin’s debut on Dazn.
The actor and director are frequent collaborators, occasionally focusing on boxing in their work. In 2010, Wahlberg starred in and produced multiple Oscar nominee The Fighter. In 2012, Berg’s Film 45 directed and produced the On Freddie Roach boxing docu-series on HBO.
Follow docs are sports media mainstays, especially with the rise of digital video — think 24/7 or Hard Knocks or Tom Vs.
