Haymon to give up rights on certain fighters to free D1ck Schaefer?

Wow..... That's disgusting. So this was the plan all along...Get ready for a 3 way cold war people.. This was my biggest fear in this whole fiasco. 3 way cold war? not likely.... gbp and tr will not willingly dance with a 3rd party... gbp and tr will not give a platform for the 3rd one.... tr and gbp will do fights together to undermine the 3rd one... the 3rd one will not drive any wedge between gbp and tr.... it may likely bind the two giants to work closely together.... not for the love of one to the other...turf protection it is...

Which one did I mention a recycled fight? Name one. Here's what I mentioned at random, have you seen these fights? Broner vs Matthysse Maidana vs Garcia Thurman vs Porter Maidana vs Matthysse Khan vs Broner Berto vs Porter... Are you following boxing or just Pacman and TR fighters? Far from certain that all those guys will go with Haymon. I watched an interview with Matthysse on Argentinian TV (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0ngpXg4-H8) recently where he talks about how much he respects Oscar, and he didn't seem too eager to thank Haymon after his last fight. Since Haymon has been preparing for all this he's probably a step ahead in terms of having these fighters tied down, but I think there's a bidding war coming all the same. GBP are free to offer promotional contracts to these guys now. As are Top Rank, incidentally.

Dick Schafer's Position isn't a regular job with a standard non compete clause. Dude was actually under contract until 2018. He cannot just quit and set up shop. Oscar did not fire Richard for a reason......

richard and al haymon are evil people. please we all need to boycott their future fights. there can't be another cold war. Boycott fights to avoid another cold war? Really?

I suspect that there is plenty of fighters that has signed with Haymon and, courtesy of Schaefer, is out of a contract with GBP. That would be the battlefield. If Schaefer as CEO of GBP did not act in the best interest of the company he was leading, those fighters would likely not be able to fight during a lawsuit. Mayweather should be ok. With the kind of money he generates, there's always a way. The fighters wouldn't be prevented from fighting because there's no contract to enforce.

First of all, what I meant when I said I doubt if this is true is that I think this guy made this tweet up without any inside knowledge of the situation. Boxing bloggers do that on a regular basis and no one ever calls them out on it. Secondly, I believe if there were a non-compete clause in the contract, Schafer would have made sure it was negotiated out of their agreement when the were negotiating the terms of his departure if Schafer planned to continue to work in the boxing field. Third, non-compete clauses are usually non-enforceable if they interfere with a person's right to make a living. I signed one once, but when I left the company, I went to work for a different company a few months later because the non-compete agreement was not enforceable because it would have kept me from making a living. I don't think this will be an issue because I believe that Schafer would have been smart enough to get rid of it as part of his resignation negotiation. He still has the issue of being a shareholder though who can still vote and go to meetings. Being an employee finding another job is one thing. Being a shareholder who can vote on corporate matters is totally different.

Wasn't trying to be funny, but remember if "lucas eyes was not swollen shut he would of knocked out garcia" classic time in nsb history my friend Excuse my back while I discuss the topic at hand. You keep talking about Garcia and Matthysse.

Why wouldn't it be enforceable? De La Hoya has one of the best lawyers out. You're saying there is a loophole in one of the agreements he wrote up? Plus think about this for a second. Schaefer holds a large block of shares at GBP. He can vote. So you're telling me he can drive across the street and start up another company? He can use his voting powers at GBP to destroy the company for the benefit of his other business. This is the perfect example of why a non-compete HAS to be enforceable. If one exists of course.

As far as the stock is concerned, I am sure the departure agreement says he would have to sell his stock in GBP if he plans to go to work for another promoter or in any capacity related to boxing.

I thought floyd had that date, then TR complained to the Nevada commission and they rescinded and then GBP got it again, presumably for Canelo v Cotto/Martinez winner if he beats Lara or Canelo v Cotto should both lose their next fight. Yeah I haven't been following. Something will probably be worked out. With Canelo fighting in July, GBP has no use for the date anymore.

so basically do recycle fights? the thang ya been complaining about from TR for years? Which one did I mention a recycled fight? Name one. Here's what I mentioned at random, have you seen these fights? Broner vs Matthysse Maidana vs Garcia Thurman vs Porter Maidana vs Matthysse Khan vs Broner Berto vs Porter... Are you following boxing or just Pacman and TR fighters?

Why do you need Arum when Haymon has all these fighters like Broner, Thurman, Matthysse, Guerrero, Berto, Garcia, Khan, Maidana, Porter, Alexander... All Haymon has to do is let them fight each other and stop over protecting them. Broner vs Matthysse would be good. Maidana vs Garcia, Thurman can start with Porter, Garcia vs Matthysse, Khan vs Broner, Berto vs Porter... There are tens of combinations Haymon can make, but why are these fights not happening? Does he need Arum in this case? so basically do recycle fights? the thang ya been complaining about from TR for years?

I seriously doubt if there is any truth to this. Any fighter who is not signed to GBP can sign a contract. Haymon doesn't have to cancel his advisory contract for this. Also, I seriouly doubt if the non-compete clause is still in effect. It it is, it is non-enforceable. Why wouldn't it be enforceable? De La Hoya has one of the best lawyers out.

I wouldn't even give up the date without a fee. Or at least hold onto it and cancel late summer. I thought floyd had that date, then TR complained to the Nevada commission and they rescinded and then GBP got it again, presumably for Canelo v Cotto/Martinez winner if he beats Lara or Canelo v Cotto should both lose their next fight.

Schaefer & Haymon trying to release Richard from non-compete, & Haymon may give up rights to #Oscar on some fighters as part of it! #boxing— Rick Glaser (@RickGlaser1) June 5, 2014 If true, my hope is it will be fighters like Khan, Matthysse and Maidana. If he could throw Thurman in too, that would be good (but he won't because that's the next star). I seriously doubt if there is any truth to this. Any fighter who is not signed to GBP can sign a contract. Haymon doesn't have to cancel his advisory contract for this. Also, I seriouly doubt if the non-compete clause is still in effect. It it is, it is non-enforceable.

Maybe they reserved it a while back for Floyd BUT... that doesn't mean they can't keep the date just to f*ck with him. Not sure if they can do that tho? This whole thing is very interesting and intriguing. I wouldn't even give up the date without a fee. Or at least hold onto it and cancel late summer.

I said it a few days ago when Fat Dan's blog was posted. Even if they get away from Oscar's lawsuit, theres the Kathy Duva lawsuit. I might be a fan but Im also a realist. The guy is in his 30's already and was held back thanks to the Alexander and Judah robberies. You're an idiot if you think my comment had something to do with the Garcia loss. Fail attempt at being funny. Wasn't trying to be funny, but remember if "lucas eyes was not swollen shut he would of knocked out garcia" classic time in nsb history my friend

Oh really that's funny because everything I've read up till this point has been how Schaefer was the real boss of GBP. In fact the only people I've read speak out for Oscar are fanboys on this site that don't know **** about ****. You seem to be quite the fanboy yourself. You must love banking. Or it may be you that don't know **** about ****.

the one thing that sucks is arum said if a fighter is with haymon their will be no fights even if they are with gbp that kinda sucks that shows the could war is just shifting not ending Why do you need Arum when Haymon has all these fighters like Broner, Thurman, Matthysse, Guerrero, Berto, Garcia, Khan, Maidana, Porter, Alexander... All Haymon has to do is let them fight each other and stop over protecting them. Broner vs Matthysse would be good. Maidana vs Garcia, Thurman can start with Porter, Garcia vs Matthysse, Khan vs Broner, Berto vs Porter... There are tens of combinations Haymon can make, but why are these fights not happening? Does he need Arum in this case?

Who cares? GB has other fighters. If you're Oscar you wanna make this as lengthy and painful for them as you can. And who knows, in the end you might even be able to get some fighters. Think about it, if the fighters are frozen who does Mayweather fight in September? Who promotes the show? I suspect that there is plenty of fighters that has signed with Haymon and, courtesy of Schaefer, is out of a contract with GBP. That would be the battlefield. If Schaefer as CEO of GBP did not act in the best interest of the company he was leading, those fighters would likely not be able to fight during a lawsuit. Mayweather should be ok. With the kind of money he generates, there's always a way.

And what's even more interesting: Look who has the MGM reserved for 9/13. http://boxing.nv.gov/schedule/Events_Schedule/ Maybe they reserved it a while back for Floyd BUT... that doesn't mean they can't keep the date just to f*ck with him. Not sure if they can do that tho? This whole thing is very interesting and intriguing.
