Golden Boy, USA Boxing alliance!
Golden Boy Promotions has announced a new alliance with USA Boxing, under which they will collaborate on numerous marketing, media, broadcast and consulting efforts. "Beyond the obvious sports marketing opportunities that this alliance offers both partners, we're delighted about the important connection it establishes for Golden Boy Promotions with amateur boxing," said Golden Boy Promotions CEO, Richard Schaefer. "USA Boxing events were important benchmarks in the early development of Oscar's career and his Olympic Gold Medal in 1992 was one of the greatest moments in Olympic history. We are greatly looking forward to working with USA Boxing during these exciting years of its development." The alliance establishes a platform for Oscar De La Hoya to spend added time in Colorado Springs at the Olympic Training Center with the U.S. National & Olympic Teams athletes.

doesnt really get into details but maybe this could be something good??
I remember a while back on this board it was being discussed that pro boxing doesn't support the amateurs like they should.

The full press release is on USA Boxing's web site. I'll hold my breath and reserve judgement until I see results.

I hope USA Boxing learned a lesson from its last major collaborative effort, i.e. the Michael King debacle. Hopefully, this time they aren't giving away the farm so to speak. If it is handled properly, then it could be great for the sport of amateur boxing.

I think it was a real blow to USA Boxing to lose A2P. And, re ODLH, I'll wait and see what results and goodies are gained through the partnership. He hasn't been willing to be involved since 1992 until just now; makes me wonder what he's getting out of the deal.
