Schaefer Won't Speak on Mosley's Golden Boy Status, Yet

By Robert Morales

BoxingScene.com this week posted a story by Michael Marley that quoted Top Rank CEO Bob Arum as basically saying that Shane Mosley told him he is a free agent.

"Mosley is operating independently of Golden Boy," Arum told Marley. "Mosley told me it's up to him who he fights now; it's his decision."

Mosley, 38, has retained his stock in Golden Boy Promotions, the story said.

Richard Schaefer, CEO of Golden Boy, on Wednesday refused to talk about the situation. He wants to wait for Mosley to return a phone call he made to him regarding the situation. 

"I have a call in to Shane and I haven't heard from him yet," Schaefer said. "That is all I really want to say at this point." 

Mosley is coming off a lackluster draw against Sergio Mora in September at Staples Center in Los Angeles.
