Oscar De La Hoya pointed to Golden Boy’s renewed DAZN deal while addressing the ongoing situation with Vergil Ortiz Jr. addressed, linking the company’s platform position to a dispute that 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 effects of Vergil Ortiz Jr. discussed his legal attempt to exit his promotional agreement. A Nevada decision sidelined Ortiz, with no return date announced.
De La Hoya used the deal as a point of stability, indicating that Golden Boy’s broadcast position remains unchanged while the dispute continues to affect one of his 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 with Ortiz’s manager Rick Mirigian again after the meltdown that led to the lawsuit. That position points to an ongoing rift 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 his existing DAZN arrangement, with upcoming cards expected to go ahead as planned despite the uncertainty surrounding Ortiz’s situation.
The comments put Golden Boy’s business base alongside a blocked fighter situation that has yet to move toward a confirmed return date.
