De La Hoya to own Dynamo ?
An investor group led by boxer Oscar De La Hoya is negotiating to buy a 50 percent stake of the MLS champion Houston Dynamo, according to broadcast and published reports.
De La Hoya along with Gabriel Brener, a shareholder in the boxer's company, Golden Boy Promotions, are reportedly looking to partner with team investor-operator Anschutz Entertainment Group.
AEG spokesman Michael Roth said that negotiations with the group led by De La Hoya were progressing rapidly.
A deal could be finalized Friday when AEG meets with De La Hoya.
