Oscar De La Hoya's promotion, Golden Boy Boxing, has finally worked out a new broadcast deal with streamer DAZN, who has been there partner since 2018. The renewal is key for Golden Boy's ability to generate attention and revenue.
On Tuesday it became official that Golden Boy Promotions and DAZN worldwide have agreed to a new multi-year partnership to continue to broadcast their fights.. And, it's something that promoter Oscar De La Hoya and his stable of fighters very much needed.
The official announcement came after weeks of speculation that Golden Boy might get left out in the scramble of whom could get an outlet to keep their business going.
From their release,
"Golden Boy and DAZN, the global home of boxing, today announced their partnership renewal to continue delivering championship-level boxing and developing the next generation of talent.
With a roster stacked with some of boxing’s biggest stars — including Ryan Garcia, Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez, Gabriela Fundora, Oscar Collazo and Floyd Schofield — Golden Boy will continue delivering blockbuster events year-round. Building on a partnership established in 2018, this extension brings the collaboration to nearly a decade, and features a medley of PPVs, World Championship Events and a contender series.
Golden Boy and DAZN have already built strong momentum in 2026, delivering three marquee events in the first quarter that showcased Golden Boy’s brightest stars and leading world title contenders. This year alone, Golden Boy celebrated Ryan Garcia winning the WBC world title, the return of former WBO Interim World Champion Arnold Barboza Jr., and title defenses by Unified Minimumweight World champion Oscar “El Pupilo” Collazo and Undisputed Flyweight World Champion Gabriela “Sweet Poison” Fundora. The momentum continues into the second quarter of 2026 with a blockbuster Cinco de Mayo event live from Las Vegas featuring David Benavidez vs. Zurdo Ramirez."
The statement references the Garcia's January win over Teofimo Lopez, but that fight was bankrolled by Turki Alashikh and promoted through his Ring Magazine PPV outlet. And, the May Zurdo-Benavidez battle is a Premier Boxing Champions PPV main event, too.
So, while his fighters either were or are involved in those shows they're not his promotions.
Still, to have a regular relationship continue with a prominent boxing outlet, De La Hoya was rightfully elated in the statement
“We’re firing on all cylinders right now,” said Chairman and CEO of Golden Boy Oscar De La Hoya. “No one builds champions like we do. It’s a special formula mixed with a fighter’s talent, discipline and star power. As we approach a decade with DAZN, we’re going to keep setting the tone for the sport in 2026 and shaping the future of boxing.”
"We’re delighted to extend our partnership with Golden Boy,” said Pete Oliver, CEO Global Sports, DAZN. “Oscar and the team consistently deliver world‑class events and develop some of the most exciting talent in boxing. This renewed agreement strengthens our shared commitment to growing the sport globally and giving fans unmatched access to unforgettable fight nights. We’re excited for what comes next."
As the statement referenced, DAZN recently televised the Arnold Barboza decision win over Kenneth Sims at the Golden Boy latest show in California earlier this month. And, that was clear indication that they were still working on a long term deal together.
DAZN also announced last week an official multi-year deal to broadcast Top Rank Boxing cards on a regular basis. This adds to their partnerships with Matchroom Boxing and Queensberry Promotions, which are primarily U.K. fight promotions.
