“I am so proud of the original content we were able to produce for Munguia vs. Rosado,” said Oscar De La Hoya, Chairman and CEO of Golden Boy and executive producer of Golden Boy Media and Entertainment. “When we first started Golden Boy Media and Entertainment, our goal was to tell compelling stories from the fighters’ perspective, but also, offer fun and engaging content for the boxing fan. And now, with the rollout of new original content for this fight in the middle of a pandemic, and with Mano-a-Mano in its sixth year, I can say we have gone above and beyond what was expected. I can’t wait to see what we can produce in the next upcoming years.”
