First read this today reading articles.

If you don't know who AEG is, you should.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anschutz_Entertainment_Group

The Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG) is an American worldwide sporting and music entertainment presenter and a subsidiary of The Anschutz Corporation. It is the world's largest owner of sports teams and sports events, the owner of the worlds most profitable sports and entertainment venues, and under AEG Live, the world's second largest presenter of live music and entertainment events (after Live Nation).[1][2] AEG Live was started in 2002.[

AEG also owns the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California, The Home Depot Center in Carson, California and the multi-purpose arena known as "The O2", formerly the Millennium Dome. AEG operates The Sprint Center for the city of Kansas City, Missouri, and Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

AEG is planning to develop similar entertainment complexes to London's O2 Arena, including the O2 World in Berlin and an entertainment complex around the existing Staples Center.

In August 2007, AEG announced plans with Harrah's Entertainment to build a privately financed 20,000-seat arena in Las Vegas on the Strip [17] on Harrah's land located directly behind the Bally's Las Vegas and Paris Las Vegas resorts.

In October 2011, it was announced an agreement with Palmeiras and WTorre for managing the "Allianz Parque," one of the most modern multipurpose spaces in the world, located in São Paulo, Brazil. The project is under construction and is scheduled to open in July 2014.

In September 2013, it was announced that AEG Facilities, a stand-alone affiliate of AEG, had signed a 15 year contract to operate Wembley Arena in London, UK.[

For sports teams, the company owns the Los Angeles Galaxy, 50% of the Houston Dynamo, 50% of the Los Angeles Kings, Ontario Reign, Manchester Monarchs, Eisbären Berlin with Berlin O2 World Ice-Arena, Hamburg Freezers, 49% of Hammarby IF Fotboll, as well as interests in the Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Sparks, Hartford Colonials and Reading Royals. The company also purchased the Champions on Ice figure skating tour in 2006, and own 12% of Djurgårdens IF Hockey. The company makes a significant amount of its money by leveraging its sports interests, already significant earners, by using the stadia in which these teams play to host various other entertainment events, most notably concerts. Indeed, Philip Anschutz created the company by buying up several small local promoters in Los Angeles including ConcertsWest and Goldenvoice, which had been founded by Gary Tovar and promotes the annual Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, in order to fill up the schedule for his new sports venue, Staples Center. It is now the second-largest event promoter in the United States.

Yes. There have been a few threads here about who owns Golden Boy. Here is a good one.

When the Oscar-Schaefer dispute arose, my first thought was that Oscar must have the support of AEG. I doubt he could make a major decision about the company without them. Gabriel Brener is also a major investor.
