Soup, could you please explain the the situation with GB fighters? They have a manager contract with Al Haymon, but are represented by GB?

It appears that many of the GB fighters represented by Haymon in recent years aren't actually under contract with GB and can, in theory, go with any promoter they wanted to if need be.
It sounds very similar to the model Haymon has pulled off with Mayweather ever since he left Top Rank where he uses, after a one-off with Goossen for the Baldomir fight, GB to promote all of his fights.
And the juicy detail is that Oscar was supposedly unaware of all this going on while he was in and out of rehab. That's why there is so much potential explosiveness in the Oscar-Richard situation.

If this is true and I'm Oscar, I'm firing Schaffer's ass. How can the "CEO" of the company pull sneaky shit like this not in the best interest for GoldenBoy Promotions.
