Munguia, Vergil Ortiz, Garcia and others.

Agreed.
We're a little over a month from making a decision on whether or not to keep DAZN(I do the yearly sub).
This news gives DAZN a better chance of keeping my subscription in 2022.

[Las Vegas boxing guy]

DAZN and ESPN + have both proven to be well worth the yearly subscription value.

I’m sure that was the plan until Triller dropped their wad on Holyfield/Belfort fiasco and how the messed around with the Lopez fight.

Wouldn’t fill anyone with confidence.

Golden Boy, DAZN Finalize New Multi-Year Agreement

Golden Boy Promotions and streaming service DAZN have announced that a deal has been reached for a new multi-year, multi-fight partnership agreement.

The new deal expands on the relationship that started in 2018 with a five-year deal. Back then, Golden Boy was the promoter of Mexican superstar Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez - which was a big part of the agreement. Golden Boy and Canelo parted ways in 2020. Canelo is still featured on the platform, but works on a fight by fight basis with promoter Eddie Hearn and Matchroom, who also have an exclusive content deal with DAZN.

Golden Boy's new agreement will include championship fight nights alongside a new prospect development series - Golden Boy Fight Night on DAZN - a monthly boxing series hosted by Beto Duran and Hall of Famer Bernard Hopkins.

Additional events to follow in 2022 will include the return of undefeated Golden Boy fighters Jaime Munguia, Ryan Garcia, and Vergil Ortiz in June, July, and August, respectively.

"We are delighted to extend our partnership with Golden Boy," said Ed Breeze, EVP Rights, DAZN. "Golden Boy has an excellent stable including some of the hottest prospects in boxing, and their shows always feature non-stop action from the first bell to the last. As part of our new partnership we will be looking to unearth the next generation of boxing talent in our new development series ‘Golden Boy Fight Night on DAZN’.”

Does Golden Boy have any real money makers? I know Ryan Garcia has a following, but is he a big money draw?
It seems like GBP has been dying off

They're in a lull, but they know how to build stars. The only other promoter that can is Top Rank, but they've been given talented duds lately, i.e. Lomachenko, Crawford, and Shakur.

[margaret thatcher]

they got mungy, garcia, ortiz, zurdo, and a bunch of decent but not particularly impressive prospects and fringe contenders

I've not followed boxing as much anymore, but I've heard a while back that Raul Curiel is supposed to be the next big star. I think he's with GBP.

[margaret thatcher]

im not sure about him tbh

gbp definitely has some decent talent and enough depth to fill cards, plus getting this deal gives them a platform again. so i wouldnt say they're dying, but they certainly are well off their peak when they seemingly had everyone, before a bunch left to pbc

Oscar De La Hoya hails DAZN deal as 'truly remarkable'

Oscar De La Hoya is many things – a Hall of Fame fighter, a pugnacious promoter and a lightning rod for various controversies over the years – but “The Golden Boy” is nothing if not extremely online.

De La Hoya appeared on “The Ariel Helwani Show” on Wednesday, a day before he is expected to post his semi-weekly “Clapback Thursday” video, a social media clip that amounts to an airing of personal and political grievances – often delivered with a twinkle in his eye rather than venom in his tongue.

Although De La Hoya touched on some of his favorite recent topics – including Vergil Ortiz Jnr, Zuffa and his feud with Dana White – the occasion of his visit seemed to be to discuss the new deal between his Golden Boy Promotions and the combat-sports-forward streaming app DAZN.

The agreement, announced Tuesday, extends a relationship between promoter and streamer that dates back to 2018. And despite the deal requiring protracted negotiations and contributing to the disgruntlement of Ortiz (and subsequent litigation against Golden Boy), De La Hoya was understandably excited to lock in a broadcast platform and start booking new dates for his fighters.

“It did take longer than expected, but we got something done, which is truly remarkable, because a lot was riding on the line,” De La Hoya told Helwani. “Fighters were calling, ‘Hey, is your deal done? Do we have dates?’ And so, finally, after months and months and months of negotiating, we finally have a deal.”

De La Hoya wouldn’t provide further details of the agreement, including its length, which he only alluded to, saying, “whether it's one-year deal or a 10-year deal.”

He claimed the new DAZN extension is “equal or better than” the previous two agreements with Golden Boy, and although De La Hoya was undoubtedly referring to financial terms, the deal is arguably a win for fight fans, too.

DAZN, which launched in 2018 as the purported answer to out-of-control boxing pay-per-view fees, has repeatedly raised its rates ever since – while also now positioning most of its biggest fights behind a PPV firewall. Viewers still figure to be stuck paying the going rate ($18.75 per month U.S. on an up-front subscription, or $44.99 for the Ultimate Package, which includes PPVs), but Tuesday’s deal should help facilitate getting more fights done.

Golden Boy joins a DAZN roster of promoters that includes, among others, Matchroom, Queensberry, Riyadh Season and now Top Rank, which struck its own agreement with the streamer only a week ago.

“I'm actually excited,” De La Hoya said of aligning with other promoters on the platform. “You know, I've worked with Bob Arum for many years, and we've done many fights together. I'm really excited because now, look, there's no excuse whatsoever from any promoter that's under DAZN.

“So it's going to be exciting to see what type of matchups we can make and what kind of hybrid events we could put together. Imagine our fighters fighting Top Rank fighters on the same cards and just cross-promoting. It's gonna be great for the sport. It's gonna be great for the fans. I'm really excited about that.”

Whether the Golden Boy-DAZN partnership can somehow salvage the Ortiz-Jaron Ennis fight that has stewed for months – and whose negotiations led to Ortiz’s falling out with his promoter – is anyone’s guess. Earlier this month, Golden Boy was granted a motion to compel arbitration, and Ortiz and his team were barred from negotiating with another promoter in the meantime. De La Hoya told Helwani that he is willing to consider reconciliation and “forgive” Ortiz, even if he can’t forget.

“If you want to talk, if you want to patch things up, then give me a call – or if you want me to call you, it doesn't matter,” De La Hoya said. “That's if you want to work this out. And let's work it out like grown men. You know, I still feel that he received the wrong advice, and now he's paying for it, which is sad, because me, as a fighter, I would hate to be sidelined. But when you do the wrong thing, this is what you get.”
