RICHARD SCHAEFER, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, GOLDEN BOY PROMOTIONS: Thank you Kelly Hello everybody. I?m actually here in Puerto Rico. We are having the media day today, a tremendous turnout. I think we have close to 150 reporters and cameras here from as far away as Germany. We have the Mexican TV crews and writers here and Main Lines as well, so a great turnout. It?s actually still ongoing.
Yesterday, Rey Boom Boom Bautista and Alex Banal arrived here at the De La Hoya training camp. Both of these rising stars from the Philippines are going to be on the card as well. And Billy Dibb, the rising star from Australia, arrived here as well and is working out here and so is the latest signing of Golden Boy, Francisco Panchito Bojado who is here in Puerto Rico.
Yesterday, just some of you might have heard about it or seen it already, the Athletic Commission picked a referee and the judges for the fight. And, the referee is going to be Kenny Bayless. The judges are going to be Chuck Giampa, Jerry Roth, and Tom Kaczmarek. Again, the referee is Kenny Bayless and the judges Chuck Giampa, Jerry Roth, and Tom Kaczmarek.
On today?s call we have two guests. We have Mark Taffet, Senior Vice President and head of HBO pay per view and marketing who is going to be talking about the HBO 24/7 series and Sugar Shane Mosley who is here sitting here with me in Puerto Rico and who is going to give you some insights on how the camp is going here, what he has seen, and his thoughts on Oscar.
