    ""Following the recent departure of former CEO Richard Schaefer, there's been much confusion about who is and who is not a Golden Boy Promotions fighter. Currently, the company's website lists 78 active fighters on their roster. While that sounds impressive, there's a small catch...some of those 78 fighters are not formally signed to contracts with Golden Boy Promotions. At least a third of their roster is advised by Al Haymon, and the vast majority of his fighters are promotional free agents. Golden Boy Promotions President Oscar De La Hoya must now figure out which fighters are his, which fighters are not, and which fighters are near the end of their contracts.:cry:

    While some of Haymon's fighters, like Jermell Charlo, Keith Thurman, and Gary Russell Jr., are already free agents, several sources have confirmed that virtually all of his fighters are already approaching the end of their contracts and currently have no plans of resigning with Golden Boy Promotions. That includes fighters like Devon Alexander, whose final fight with Golden Boy will take place on June 21 when he takes on Jesus Soto Karass. To make matters worse for De La Hoya, one of his own partners, unified light heavyweight champion Bernard Hopkins, doesn't even have a signed contract with the company. Essentially, De La Hoya could soon be faced with the reality that, with the exception of Saul "Canelo" Alvarez, every major star on his roster will be gone by 2015.:yikes


    Below is a list of the active fighters that Golden Boy Promotions currently has on their website. Those that are advised by Al Haymon are denoted with [AH] before their name. As previously stated, according to our sources, virtually all of them are either already free agents or on the verge of becoming free agents in the very near future. In other words, don't expect the following fighters to remain on the Golden Boy roster: Leo Santa Cruz, Gary Russell Jr., Omar Figueroa Jr., Danny Garcia, Lamont Peterson, Adrien Broner, Amir Khan, Devon Alexander, Keith Thurman, Luis Collazo, Marcos Maidana, Paulie Malignaggi, Robert Guerrero, Victor Ortiz, Erislandy Lara, Jermell Charlo, Daniel Jacobs, Peter Quillin, Librado Andrade, Enrique Ornelas, Deontay Wilder, Seth Mitchell, Lucas Matthysse*, and Abner Mares*. If you're wondering who that leaves as Golden Boy fighters, check out the list below (minus the Al Haymon fighters)."":pop:pop

    it's a very tricky situation.

    he sides with pokemon, he has only pokemon fighters to put in his shows, plus pokemon has no promo outfit as we speak.

    and kathy sued pokemon and choketime, so no kathy fighters to rely on.

    im not sure pokemon can fill up choketime's dates with his fighters alone and how fast can he get a license. not him personally but you get the idea.


    he sides with oscar, he will be forced to deal with tr and hbo as oscar will not have enough under their banner.

    im sure theftjr will insist on having pokemon advised-fighters as his undercard.


    the sep fight is going to tell us a lot how is this going to shape up going forward.

    So..........................what about the contract? What will be done about that?

    De la Hoya’s lawyer Bert Fields released a statement to the Los Angeles Times indicating that Schaefer is contractually bound to Golden Boy until 2018 and that contract will be enforced.

    They are biased but mostly about whom they want to talk about.

    If Al Haymon was Jewish or white, imagine all the hate he would be getting on this forum for his antics...

    so,if these fighters who are supposedly not contractually signed by GBP ,how can you say they are leaving when they were not with GBP in the first place?Secondly,where are they going to go with Haymon not having any promoters license,no tv contract and no way of paying his fighters?Perhaps,he and Schaefer have outsmarted themselves and have placed them into a corner with no way out.

    is it hard to get a promoters liscense?

    Is this something Schafer, Haymon, or even Floyd could get rather quickly and form something?
