Affliction announced on Saturday a partnership with  Oscar De La Hoya’s  Golden Boy Promotions. Golden Boy, created by the superstar business mogul, is the leading promotion in boxing, and its partnership with Affliction is significant for both MMA and boxing.

The newly-formed partnership will include four co-promoted pay-per-view events to begin in 2009. The cards will feature both mixed martial arts and boxing matches in the same ring.

“Golden Boy Promotions is the top boxing promoter in the world, and we look forward to working with them on future projects,” Atencio said in the release. “With our companies working together, it gives Affliction another vehicle to deliver our products to our core customers, as well as utilizing Golden Boy’s promotional expertise to further our efforts in Mixed Martial Arts.”
