Golden Boy-Fox enter into new deal on FS1
Tue Apr 09, 2013 3:49 pm
The Sports Business Journal (subscription required) reports that Fox Sports and Golden Boy Promotions have struck a deal for boxing to be on the new Fox Sports 1 Network. The deal goes through 2015 with an option for 2016.
Although no official numbers were divulged, it is believed the rights fees to be $100,000 per show. FS1 will carry a Monday night boxing series with 24 episodes per year. The deal also includes 24 shows on Fox Deportes to be held Saturday nights from Mexico.
Golden Boy signed a multiyear deal reported to be in the six figure range with Fox Sports Media Group last year in which the promotion had 12 shows divided between Fuel TV and Fox Sports Net.
Golden Boy has already secured Corona as lead sponsor for the series.
Payout Perspective:
The move shows Fox’s commitment to combat sports as it has the UFC as one of its anchors to the new FS1. The addition of boxing means more combat sports content for viewers. This deal is much better than Golden Boy’s previous situation as the Fox Sports Media deal had GBP’s shows on at odd times and on delay on Fox’s regional sports networks. In this deal, its believed that there would be consistent times for the shows.
