Golden Boy Plans To Air Five Live Boxing Cards On Facebook

Golden Boy Promotions will stream five live boxing cards on Facebook beginning next month, adding yet another outlet to its mix as combat sports increasingly move toward OTT distribution. The series, produced by Golden Boy’s media and entertainment division, debuts on Aug. 11 with a show featuring popular '12 Olympian Joseph ‘JoJo’ Diaz Jr. against Jesus Rojas from the Avalon Theater in Hollywood. An Aug. 18 card will feature light heavyweight Sullivan Barrera in a show from Bethlehem, Penn. Barrera is promoted by Main Events, which also will deliver fighters to the Facebook shows. Similarly to other Facebook broadcasts of live sports, the fights will include fan interaction. Golden Boy also plans to deliver boxing-related shoulder programming to Facebook beginning July 13. Boxing already is an anchor of ESPN’s new ESPN+ OTT service, which airs live cards from Top Rank, along with studio shows and an extensive fight library. ESPN+ also will be home to as many as 15 UFC cards a year as part of the net's deal with the MMA promotion. U.K.-based promoter Matchroom has announced plans to air 16 fights a year on Perform Group’s DAZN streaming service.
