UFC two-division champion Georges St-Pierre was apparently being set up for a boxing match against “The Golden Boy” Oscar De La Hoya. But because the UFC and Dana White overruled the said booking, the matchup is now looking like a missed opportunity for both fighters.
But as far as the promoters outside of the UFC are concerned, the bout isn’t doomed yet. Triller’s parent company Proxima Media is willing to put in a $1 million charity donation if the MMA promotion giant gives its OK.
Proxima Media CEO Ryan Kavanaugh recently spoke to ESPN, saying he’s willing to shell out $250,000 out of his own pocket.
