"To reach an exclusive agreement in Mexico, with a partner as respected as TV Azteca is an honor for us and together we will provide the best fights for all of Canelo's fans."

"We proudly welcome our friend and now partner, Golden Boy Promotions to our family," said Rodrigo Fern?ndez, General Programming Director of Azteca.
