Oscar De La Hoya pointed to Golden Boy’s renewed DAZN agreement while addressing the ongoing situation with Vergil Ortiz Jr., tying the company’s platform position to a dispute that has left the fighter inactive.
During his “Clapback Thursdays” segment, Golden Boy promoter De La Hoya referenced the recently confirmed extension with DAZN while discussing the fallout from Vergil Ortiz Jr.’s legal effort to exit his promotional agreement. A Nevada ruling has kept Ortiz sidelined, with no return date announced.
De La Hoya used the deal as a point of stability, indicating Golden Boy’s broadcast position remains unchanged while the dispute continues to affect one of its key fighters. Ortiz has not fought since the ruling, and his immediate future in the ring remains unclear as the case continues.
He also confirmed he will not work again with Ortiz’s manager, Rick Mirigian, following the breakdown that led to the legal case. That position signals a continued split that could affect any future negotiations tied to Ortiz, including how his next fight is arranged once the dispute is resolved.
Golden Boy’s schedule continues under its existing DAZN arrangement, with upcoming cards expected to proceed as planned despite the uncertainty surrounding Ortiz’s situation.
The comments place Golden Boy’s business footing alongside a stalled fighter situation that has yet to move toward a confirmed return date.
