Golden Boy Promotions will host at least 12 boxing events every year at the New Jersey Nets’ new home court in Brooklyn, the company announced Wednesday. The fight series is mirrored after a similar grouping in Los Angeles, which features local boxing talent and draws about 2,000 to each fight. “This is not just bringing once in a while a championship fight to New York,” Golden Boy chief executive Richard Schaefer told the Associated Press. “It is about developing a new fan audience for the sport of boxing, and doing a combination of different shows.”
