and you can read Main Events's version of the Stevenson-Kovalev controversy. They think Schaefer and Haymon are working together. Also at the link is a copy of an Al Haymon standard management contract.

Schaefer has been using fighters on shows that are signed to Haymon and not Golden Boy. Oscar just said he was surprised to discover this recently and he also doesn't know how many fighters GBP actually has under contract. This shows how much he's been involved with the business in recent years. Obviously Schaefer and Haymon either have plans to split or Schaefer has been doing this so that he can increase the control he has at GBP.

Oscar also said lawyers have been retained on both sides but he thinks they can work it out and keep Schaefer at GBP. I'm not so sure. Once lawyers get involved they've got their own fucking agenda. Like dovorces.
It would seem to be a breach of fiduciary duty for Schaefer to build up fighters without signing them because GB would be investing money in the fighters only to see them leave when they reach a level where they are big enough to be a return on investment.
He can claim Haymon wouldn't let them sign contracts but he needed them to make fights so he used them on a fight by fight basis. That's the kind of thing that Oscar's lawyers will be claiming if/when it gets to the litigation stage. Apparently they both shook hands on Saturday night at the fight and were sitting next to each other. So see what happens.
