Judge Walter noted that Golden Boy produced successful cards as the lawsuit was pending, including the lucrative Canelo Alvarez-Amir Khan fight in 2016 and the agreement this year with Haymon to stage an Alvarez bout against Haymon’s Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in May, a bout hyped as “the biggest all-Mexican fight in boxing history.”
The judge additionally found that neither Fox nor ABC were precluded from broadcasting fights from other promoters despite their connections to PBC, and he noted Golden Boy and ESPN have entered into a new broadcast deal.
He also addressed the Ali Act violation claims and Golden Boy claims that Haymon manipulated “sham promoters.”
“Notwithstanding plaintiffs’ pejorative label, the promoters that work with the PBC vehemently disagree that they are ‘sham’ promoters,” Walter wrote.
