[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Oscar De La Hoya is apparently sanguine about his chances to do more business with one of his bitterest rivals in the industry. The Hall of Fame fighter and head of Golden Boy typically has not had anything much kind to say about Al Haymon, the

I hope that's the case, more collaboration between Golden Boy Productions, and PBC will bring us better fights in the future.

I take anything Oscar says with a grain of salt and a side-eye, he's spewed so many untruths that he doesn't even know when he's lying.

Not sure if Oscar is genuine when he says this because more collaboration between the 2, will likely lead to the few marketable boxers that Oscar has left like Ryan, Ortiz and Munguia, taking L’s if they’re matched up with Pbc fighters within their divisions.

“What I’m very optimistic about is that [by] making this Ryan Garcia fight with Tank, we can start working together and make the big fights happen,” De La Hoya said on The DAZN Boxing Show. “Imagine PBC and Golden Boy getting together and just making huge fights, huge, big fights. The fans would eat it up, the fans would love it.”

This is good news, however imagine if Golden Boy and MatchRoom were working together on DAZN? Wouldn't that make more sense? Anyway. let's keep the fights coming!

Sources: Vergil Ortiz Jr.-Eimantas Stanionis bout set for April 29

Vergil Ortiz Jr. and Eimantas Stanionis will meet in a rescheduled welterweight bout on April 29 in Texas, sources told ESPN on Thursday.

The 147-pound matchup was set for March 18 but postponed after Stanionis underwent an emergency appendectomy in his native Lithuania earlier this month.

Oritz's promoter, Golden Boy, won the rights to the WBA "regular" welterweight title fight at last month's purse bid with a commitment of $2.3 million and will stream the fight on DAZN.

Golden Boy will kick in additional money to make Ortiz, who is a far bigger star than Stanionis in the U.S., whole. The Lithuanian boxer won the secondary title with a split-decision victory over Radzhab Butaev in April and is entitled to 75% of the winning bid, while Ortiz will earn much more than the $575,000 he's set to make via the purse bid.

The bout shapes up as a coin-flip matchup between two pressure fighters in one of boxing's best weight classes.

Ortiz (19-0, 19 KOs) is rated No. 4 by ESPN at welterweight. The 24-year-old broke through last year with a pair of stoppage wins over Maurice Hooker and Egidijus Kavaliauskas. Ortiz, who fights out of the Dallas-Fort Worth area, was set to fight Michael McKinson in March, but it was postponed after Ortiz was hospitalized with rhabdomyolysis.

Rhabdomyolysis is a breakdown of muscle tissue that releases the damaging protein myoglobin into the blood, which can lead to kidney damage. Ortiz went on to score a ninth-round TKO of McKinson in August and will now step way up in class.

Stanionis (14-0, 9 KOs) is ESPN's No. 6 boxer at 147 pounds. He also owns a win over Thomas Dulorme.

Eddie Hearn must be asking himself, "What did I do wrong?" Nery vs. Azat on ESPN, Fulton vs. Inoue on ESPN, Tank vs. Garcia on SHO & DAZN, Stanionis vs. Ortiz Jr. on DAZN. Everybody making deals, except him!
