Richard Schaefers newly founded Ringstar Sports was granted a promoters license by the Nevada State Athletic Commission at the panels monthly meeting on Monday.Schaefer, the former longtime CEO of Golden Boy Promotions, left the company after a nasty breakup with close friend, business partner and majority shareholder Oscar De La Hoya in June 2014, but announced his return to the boxing business last month.He was quickly licensed in New York, Texas and California and on Monday got the thumbs up from the Nevada commission with a 5-0 vote to grant him a license.Nevada is considered the toughest state in the country in which to secure a promoters license because of the extremely detailed paperwork and background information required from applicants. But Schaefer is a well-known figure to the commission based on his years of experience promoting many of boxings biggest events in Las Vegas when he was with Golden Boy, and he had everything in order for the commission.It was very quick, Schaefer told ESPN.com after the meeting. They said it was maybe the best application they ever received, very clean and straight forward, and they said they are happy to have me back. So I am a licensed promoter now in the state of Nevada. Nobody had any issues. They all know me and my track record. I am very happy to be here in Las Vegas. I have put together some big fights here and I told them that first and foremost I am a ffight fan.dddddddddddd Las Vegas is the boxing capital of the world and big fights belong in Las Vegas and I told them I am excited to bring big events to Las Vegas again.Schaefer is still putting together his team and said he has not yet signed any fighters but that he hopes to put on his first event in late September or early October, a shift from his original August plan.I could put together some smaller events, but I dont want to do that, he said. I want to put on a bigger event.Now I am interviewing people and putting the band back together. I have met with managers, trainers and fighters and have had some network discussions. Im plugging along and putting the pieces together, but first I had to become a licensed promoter and thats accomplished and now were moving to the next chapter.Schaefer, who co-founded Golden Boy with De La Hoya in 2002, said he also plans to seek a license to promote in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Florida and Arizona.With De La Hoya largely an absentee owner for most of Schaefers tenure with Golden Boy, the company became one of the most significant promotional outfits in the world under his direction and promoted many of the biggest fights of the past 15 years, including record-setting pay-per-view events headlined by De La Hoya and Floyd Mayweather.
