Promoter Richard Schaefer received his promoter’s license to startr promoting fights in Nevada under his new Ringstar Sports promotions, according to Dan Rafael of eson.com.
“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 fight fan. 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.”
“I could put together some smaller events, but I don’t 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. I’m plugging along and putting the pieces together, but first I had to become a licensed promoter and that’s accomplished and now we’re moving to the next chapter.”
