The final details of the settlement between Oscar De La Hoya and his former managers, Bob Mittleman and Steve Nelson, have been resolved, and De La Hoya has begun preparations for a March 5 title bout that will reopen the Olympic Auditorium.

Mittleman and Nelson ended their five-year contract with De La Hoya and dropped a $10-million lawsuit against two of his new advisers in exchange for a cash payment believed to be more than $2 million.

Bob Arum, De La Hoya’s promoter, said the next step will be to iron out details of the five-fight, $7.5-million package Arum negotiated with HBO.
