Oscar De La Hoya Quickly Taking Over
By DoghouseBoxing (Sep 11, 2006)
Golden Boy Promotions, Oscar De La Hoya's company looks like it has signed another hot fighter in lightweight titlist Juan Diaz.

Diaz's manager, Willie Savannah confirmed to ESPN.com that basically everything had been agreed on, but no contract has yet been signed.  Savannah tells Dan Rafael reporting for ESPN:  "We don't have a signed contract but we have agreed in principle to a deal with Golden Boy. I haven't seen a contract but we agreed on everything. I think everything
will be OK. Everything is being put to paper and then our lawyer will go through it."

Richard Schaefer representing Golden Boy Promotions told ESPN: "What I think it shows is that Golden Boy Promotions has the resources and the infrastructure to sign the fighters we feel strongly about. Juan Diaz is one of the fighters Oscar really wants to work with, so we got it done. It shows, as well, to other fighters out there that Golden Boy is certainly one of the leading promoters out there and a company able to step up to the plate."
