Golden Boy and DAZN announced an exclusive multi-year extension on March 24, 2026 that the companies say bundles pay-per-views, world championship events and a contender series under the renewed partnership. (dazn.com) DAZN’s release confirms Golden Boy content will feature on its DAZN PPV schedule and notes a May 2, 2026 Cinco de Mayo PPV (David Benavidez vs. Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramírez) as part of the platform’s early-2026 slate. (dazn.com) DAZN now markets an “Ultimate Tier” that includes a minimum of 12 PPVs per year and is priced at $44.99 per month for U.S. subscribers, a package the company says affects how Golden Boy PPVs will be sold to U.S. consumers. (dazn.com) The Golden Boy extension follows DAZN’s announcement one week earlier that Top Rank also signed a multi-year deal, a sequence commentators say brings Matchroom, Queensberry, Top Rank and Golden Boy onto the same platform and further concentrates major promotion rights with DAZN. (boxinginsider.com) Golden Boy’s previous agreement expired at the end of 2025, and BoxingScene reports that the lapse coincided with a legal dispute involving Vergil Ortiz Jr.’s team seeking to exit their promotional arrangement, a matter now headed to arbitration.
