Just watched the Wilder Stiverne All Access and it was the most boring **** I've ever seen. I take Floyd Mayweather for granted sometimes :lol:

I'm watching Roc Nation Sports Boxing on FS1, I'm very impressed. Good fights so far. Dustin Fleischer or whatever his name is, they should change his name to The Great White American Hope lol. Only problem was switching back and forth between FS1 and ESPN for FNF Main Event.
 
I'm watching the roc nation fights lol fabulous rapping now looking like an old school pimp. Angie Martinez introduced him I hate her accent.

Broner my dude :pimp: they wanted him to fight 2 times a year he told TMZ he wants to fight 4 times this year.
 
lol @ this Fabolous performance though. I tuned in to watch boxing. Making this a concert and sh*t. I guess they really have to promote them and their music.
 
It is about time Ward figured out his promotion issues. I still think Goosen treated him fairly but he needs several fights this year. I would love to see a Ward/Groves fight in Wimbley, a Froch/Ward fight in Vegas and a GGG/Ward fight. Any combination of the three this year would be great.

Golden Boy Promotions president and principal owner Oscar De La Hoya and Richard Schaefer, his former CEO, reached a settlement on the $50 million De La Hoya was seeking in an arbitration case filed in June, a source with knowledge of the agreement told ESPN.com on Friday night.

As part of the deal, multiple sources said De La Hoya also cut ties with the numerous top fighters he had been promoting from the stable of powerful adviser/manager Al Haymon. Schaefer resigned in June after a decade in charge as the only chief executive in company history, after which De La Hoya filed the arbitration accusing him of breach of fiduciary duty to the company, which Schaefer has denied.

The central issue was that under Schaefer's watch many of the promotional contracts Golden Boy had with Haymon's fighters expired and were not renewed, leaving Golden Boy in a vulnerable position. Golden Boy continued to put Haymon's fighters on high-profile cards but without having nearly as much say-so over opponents or financial details had they had contracts.

As part of the settlement, Schaefer, whom Golden Boy claimed was still under an employment contract through March 2018, will be barred from promoting for an unspecified length of time, according to one of the sources. It is between one and two years, according to the source. The sources spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not permitted to speak publicly due to the terms of the settlement.

Schaefer also owns about 8 percent of Golden Boy stock and it would be likely that he would have to give that up as part of any settlement. When Schaefer resigned, there was wide speculation that once his Golden Boy issues were worked out, he would either create his own promotional company to handle Haymon's vast stable or go to work at the promotional company of Haymon's No. 1 client, Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s Mayweather Promotions. Schaefer may do that eventually, but not until he sits out for the length of time agreed to in the settlement.

Schaefer declined to comment, as did De La Hoya. Haymon does not speak to the media. In addition to settling with Schaefer, the sources also said that De La Hoya severed ties with most of the Haymon fighters that Golden Boy had been promoting on a fight-by-fight basis in return for what one of the sources said was "substantial financial compensation" from Haymon.

So while Golden Boy will likely receive millions of dollars, it also means numerous big-name fighters, many built over the years by Golden Boy, will no longer be associated with the company. They include
[COLOR=#Red]Danny Garcia,
Keith Thurman,
Marcos Maidana,
Lamont Peterson,
Adrien Broner,
Peter Quillin,
Erislandy Lara,
Daniel Jacobs,
Abner Mares,
Andre Berto, Victor Ortiz, Devon Alexander, Shawn Porter, Robert Guerrero and heavyweight contender Deontay Wilder, who will have his final Golden Boy fight on Jan. 17 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, where he will have a chance to win a world title against Bermane Stiverne.[/COLOR]

Also leaving Golden Boy are several 2012 U.S. Olympians, including welterweight Errol Spence Jr., and light heavyweight Marcus Browne, two of boxing's most promising prospects.

It is particularly difficult for Golden Boy to part ways with Wilder (32-0, 32 KOs), whom it has promoted since his pro debut in 2008, following his bronze-medal run in the Olympics, because he could achieve significant stardom and increase his earning power dramatically if he beats Stiverne and becomes the first American heavyweight titleholder since Shannon Briggs won a belt in 2006.

"Oscar is still looking forward to the fight next week," one of the sources said. "Yes, Golden Boy is losing some top fighters as part of this, no doubt about it. That is hard, but this is a long-term plan. Oscar is happy and comfortable with the decision, and this is the next step. He could have continued to go on like this and continued to work with Haymon but that doesn't benefit anyone if there is no long-term plan.

"With this decision, there is a very good feeling around the office. Golden Boy still has some horses and will just do what it has proven it can do, which is to develop the younger guys it promotes."

Golden Boy still promotes superstar Canelo Alvarez, along with a number of other quality fighters. It also announced the signing of a dozen boxers on Thursday. The sources said Golden Boy will continue to promote a handful of fighters aligned with Haymon, who still have promotional contracts with the company, including Amir Khan, Leo Santa Cruz, Lucas Matthysse and Paulie Malignaggi.

"Oscar has deals with a number of Haymon's fighters and those will continue," one of the sources said. "The idea is they finish their contracts and then they go somewhere else."

Haymon has a few promoters he uses to put on his fighters without having them signed to that promoter, including Lou DiBella, Goossen Promotions and Warriors Boxing. Those are the promoters expected to handle the cards Haymon has purchased time for on NBC Sports Net and NBC. That series begins in March, and a news conference is scheduled to announce it Wednesday in New York.

"It's no way to do business. We were totally hamstrung," one of the sources said. "Every time there was a fight Oscar wanted to make the question was would Haymon's guy fight him? That's how you end up with Rod Salka [as the opponent for Garcia in one of 2014's most egregious mismatches] and the weak guys Leo Santa Cruz has fought. We couldn't make the fights we wanted to. What's the point of having fighters in the stable if they don't fight anyone?

"Oscar has been clear as a bell with what he wants to do. He wants to make the best fights possible for the fans. He has said it time and again and he means it. Oscar came to the conclusion that he couldn't make the fights he wanted to make by continuing to do business like this. There was so much drama surrounding everything. Everyone at Golden Boy had to operate in a box. Now everyone is free."

:smh: Al Haymon ruining boxing again practically took Oscar's stable
 
Those are big names, definitely. But like it was stated at the end of the article, what's the point in having those fighters if they won't fight each other? Are we really going to tune in to watch a Rod Salka get the piss beat out of him? GBP will struggle as it repopulates in the short term but they'll be fine in the long run.
 
:smh: @Haymon

At least I hope Oscar got a good chunk of bread from all this.
They basically left him with Canelo.

This. Haymon sucks. Also he won't Co promote with Arum, or Golden Boy now I'm assuming, and won't mess with Roc Nation either because of his beef with Jay-Z. Sounds like theres alot more Rod Salka type fights on the way.
 
I didnt read that whoke golden boy story. Can someone break it down?

50 million to de la hoya and he loses his fighters cuz haymon breached contract??
 
Don't feel sorry for Oscar. Too busy doing drugs and dressing like a chick rather than running his company.
 
True, but he seems to be in a good place personally right now. Looks bleak at the moment but Oscar set them up nicely in the future. He still has Canelo, is working with Top Rank, and can work with both HBO and Showtime.

I'm actually willing to bet guys make their way back to Golden Boy eventually. Anybody with a name under Haymon's stable has been killing their momentum cause of inactivity. Garcia may as well not have fought at all in 2014 esp considering he had a big 2013, same for Quillin. Broner really thinks he's fighting 4 times this year? Right.
