“I have been mining the media landscape for the past several years to find a broadcast and platform partner to change up the sport and to create a series that delivers fans across the world a new and engaging spin on the great sport of boxing,” said Oscar De La Hoya. “This collaboration with Facebook has been nothing short of amazing. Their team has the all the tools to clearly separate a Golden Boy boxing show from any other combat sport show on the market.”
