It appears Golden Boy MMA was a one-hit wonder.
According to Tito Ortiz, who fought Chuck Liddell in the main event back in November, he announced to TSN’s Aaron Bronsteter that the promotion is no more.
“Yea it’s dead,” Ortiz said when asked if Golden Boy MMA was still around (h/t BJPENN.com). “They are just in the boxing business and I can leave it there. I gave them the opportunity to run with something and make it huge but it just didn’t work out. I did what I needed to do promotion wise. Getting ready for the fight it was eighteen weeks and it just ended up getting me another fight in the future.”
Although the promotion only did one show, a trilogy fight between the two legends, Ortiz says he was happy with Oscar De La Hoya. And, the UFC Hall of Famer says he can’t say anything bad about him because he gave him an opportunity to fight. And, he is now signed to Combate Americas because of it.
“I can’t say nothing bad about Oscar because he gave me an opportunity and I am very thankful for it. It’s just one of those things as a promoter, you’ve got to do your homework. You know a perfect example is Dana White. He does his homework, he busts his ass and he does it for the MMA crowd and not just for his family but for fighters and their future. Oscar just really didn’t put his homework in and he didn’t do what he wanted to do for mixed martial arts. He’s a boxing promoter, and I guess we will leave it right there.”
De La Hoya and Golden Boy are sticking to boxing, after a failed venture into the MMA space.

Tito Ortiz has looked back on his journey working with Oscar De La Hoya and Golden Boy MMA.
Chuck Liddell vs Tito Ortiz 3 was an interesting show, to say the least. Ortiz was able to score a first-round knockout victory over Liddell last year in their third fight inside The Forum in Inglewood, California on pay-per-view. Following the fight, Ortiz retired as he was looking for a landing spot with Oscar De La Hoya in Golden Boy Promotions.
Originally, De La Hoya initially claimed 200,000-400,000 PPV buys was a “no-brainer” for this fight. However, that is not the case. It was reported by media members from LA Times and Yahoo! Sports that the PPV drew very poorly. The high report for buys was 40K.
The live gate was reportedly at $731,226, and PPV revenue would be at around $1-1.2 million at the $40 price point. The two fighters also got merchandise, sponsorships, any other international deals, and revenue sources. They received a base pay of $200k and $250k respectively.
Ortiz did an interview this weekend where he was asked about the event. This is where he admitted that UFC President Dana White was right about the fight not doing great business.
“I think he made a lot of mistakes, but at the same time, for a boxing promoter to come into mixed martial arts, it’s a different animal. Dana was right,” Ortiz said (H/T to Bad Left Hook.
The former UFC light heavyweight champion noted in a recent interview that he’d most likely fight in October as he had signed a multi-fight agreement with the Combate Americas promotion.
