Scaheffer tried to make Oscar sell at his lowest point in rehab -
By around March, De La Hoya had tentatively agreed to sell, but eventually changed his mind, much to Schaefer's dismay.
"The more Oscar peeled back the layers of the deal, the more it was like an onion. It smelled," one of the sources said.
For one thing, De La Hoya, according to sources, was outraged when he learned that Schaefer would remain involved with the entity buying Golden Boy -- and that so would Haymon -- and that De La Hoya would have severe restrictions placed on his ability to use his own nickname, logo and likeness for decades.
"Would it upset him if someone tried to sell that company -- the result of all of his hard work over the last 30 years -- from under him? I think it's fair to say, 'Absolutely,'" said one of the sources with knowledge of the proposal.
Bernard Hopkins Siding with De La Hoya Now-
The second was to secure a commitment from Hopkins to remain with the company. Hopkins is also close to Schaefer and many thought he would leave Golden Boy upon Schaefer's exit, perhaps to join Schaefer, who has told those close to him that he plans to remain in the promotional business once his legal situation with Golden Boy -- which claims he is under contract until March 2018 -- is clarified.
On July 10 at the MGM Grand, two days before Alvarez-Lara, De La Hoya, Hopkins and other company officials had an intense, two-hour meeting. Hopkins emerged from it believing in De La Hoya's vision for the company and pledging his loyalty.
De La Hoya trying to get Haymon fighters under contract - Haymon refusing-
Gomez is also the one person at Golden Boy with a solid relationship with Haymon. Some Haymon fighters are under contract, such as junior featherweight titlist Leo Santa Cruz, lightweight titlist Omar Figueroa and welterweight Amir Khan. But while De La Hoya continues to promote Haymon's fighters he said he is pressing Haymon to sign more of them with Golden Boy, although Haymon has so far refused.
