Comments Thread For: Golden Boy/Haymon Union Remains Strong, Will Continue

At this stage Haymon kind of has no choice but to maintain a working relationship with GBP and certain other promoters. He doesnt have a license to promote fights and neither does Shaefer or Floyd. Nor can he obtain a license to promote due to violation of the Ali act being that you cant promote a fighter with whom you manage. Shaefer has some sort of stipulation in his contract with GBP which prevents him from becoming a rival promotional entity as well. If anyone is going to become a full fledge promoter it's going to have to be Floyd which brings up an interesting question. If Gomez is stating that GBP and Haymon have a good working relationship and will continue to do business with one another, why did Floyd jump ship once Shaefer left?

If Oscar going to continue with Haymon just don't go to rehab. Haymon is like your pretend buddy who's slamming your wife while your at work

While duh, of course he has no choice but to work with a boxing promoter, he's not one. However he would not suffer if he left Golden Boy as there are other promoters out there.

Mayweather Promotion is nothing but an LLC and no one takes them seriously. Al would be fine without Golden Boy and they way I see it, while they both need each other, they would both survive without each other also.

I dont think Haymon can do much until Schaeffers no compete clause ends.

This article doesnt really tell us much. This is Gomez's opinion on the subject. Things are no more clear than they were last week.

By Rick Reeno - Since the start of the month, Golden Boy Promotions has undergone a variety of major changes. Longtime company CEO Richard Schaefer left the company on June 2nd, company COO and CMO Bruce Binkow departed on June 13th, there were other staffing changes – and, company President and majority shareholder Oscar De La Hoya took over Golden Boy’s day to day operations.

Immediately following Schaefer’s departure, the industry focus quickly shifted to Golden Boy’s relationship with powerful manager and adviser Al Haymon.

Even prior to Schaefer’s departure, there were widespread rumors that Schaefer was leaving Golden to align himself with a brand new promotional entity – and that Haymon’s fighters would follow Schaefer to that company.

The vast majority of Haymon’s voluminous stable is being promoted under Golden Boy’s banner. Some of those fighters have promotional agreements with Golden Boy and some of them are not under contract. [Click Here To Read More]

Well many ignorant posters here believe that fighters managed by Haymon are no longer going to be promoted by GBP. They dont seem to understand that Haymon is just an advisor/manager that needs a licensed promoter to showcase his fighters fights.

Good news man. Oscar is the man.

Why aren't people calling Gomez a "snake"? I heard Schafer was one because he was allowing Haymon fighters to fight on GBP cards even though they weren't promoted by GBP (wow, no promoter has ever done that before!). Gomez says he has no problem with that so is he a snake?

Where does he say that?
