    Not only do we have Top Rank and Golden Boy refusing to work with one another, we also have a potential rift within GBP itself. If Schafer and Haymon pull fighters out from under Oscar's feet, I highly doubt he'd be willing to work with them.

    And now Main Events is also going after GBP, so likely no fights between fighters under those banners either.

    Things are going to get worse before they get better.

    Main events I believe is going after Haymon and Schafer for the Kovalev Stevnson fiasco

    This.

    Oscar probably delighted at the lawsuit, because discovery in that lawsuit could give him a lot of free leverage and investigation to improve his own position.

    Law suits do not prevent entities from continuing to do biz with each other.One has nothing to do with the other.Especially in the US where suing someone is so common.

    It is more about suing Haymon and Schaefer. They did the deal to back out of the Kovalev fight with very little involvement on Oscar's part. Stevenson's isn't even a GBP fighter
