Robert Diaz, matchmaker for Golden Boy Promotions, was asked about the contractual status of WBC lightweight titlist, Omar Figueroa, who on a September 'Golden Boy Live' telecast basically declared himself a free agent.
“My contract with Golden Boy ended on (September 24th), so no we’re looking into that,” revealed Figueroa, who joined Golden Boy three years ago.
Diaz disagreed with the claim, stating that Figueroa was still under contract and also said he expects him to continue forward as a Golden Boy promoted fighter. Figueroa is managed by Al Haymon.
"He's still under contract," stated Diaz to BoxingScene.com. "I think what he meant, honestly, was, 'it's coming to an end and I'm waiting to sit down and renegotiate my new contract with them.'"
