Comments Thread For: Richard Schaefer Officially Departs From Golden Boy

[-MEGA-]

you were way too quick to jump on me for talking abut mayweather. I said this wasnt good for anyone. read the thread

Im over it bro. Your talking in circles now. You should go back and read the OP of yours that I responded to. You were riding Floyds d*ck so hard, I think you were popping wheelies.


Your a good poster bro, but I think you got some redeeming to do.

It amazes me how the tards are applauding the split between Oscar and Schaefer, and one even referred to Arum as the "Bob Father." These fans are no fans of boxers at all. They cheer for the Arum's and Don King's because they think these folks have the fans' best interest. What about the boxers' best interest? Why did Oscar/Mayweather get dome after they both left Bob? Why did Mayweather/Cotto get done after they both left Bob? Why has Mayweather had the biggest PPVs after he left Bob? Why are Chavez Jr., Rigo, and Mikey Garcia all trying to get away from Bob? The needles, the cuts, the stadiums...all Bob. The no fight without extension...all Bob. No Mayweather/Pacquiao, No Garcia/Gamboa, No Chavez Jr./GGG...all Bob. Why are they cheering?

Yeah but they do have the fans best interest. No business for no one if you have no fans.

if most of haymon fighters who had fights under gbp but without the need of a promotional contract, that's a big sell out move by schaefer. he literally made gbp a "promoter for hire" company.

He basically just confirmed all the things people already thought about investment bankers.

actually Cotto is back with TR. TR is even helping him with his promotional company and they are co promoting several fighters. He likes TR more than gbp and Mikey has hashed his differences out and will be fighting again soon under the TR banner and now Oscar wants to work with arum again so it must not be that bad.

Cotto is contracting his promotion, just like Mayweather, but HE DOES NOTWORK FOR ARUM. Cotto biggest guaranteed purse was for the Mayweather fight. In fact, read this, and it tells you how Arum really gets down:

Arum said that when Cotto turned it down, he and Pacquiao went with Marquez for Pacquiao's next fight, just one week after Cotto's.

Cotto vigorously disputed Arum's claim.

"The only offer Top Rank ever made us was the same money as in 2009," Cotto told ESPN.com. "[Arum] made the same offer he made in 2009, and we found it kind of funny. That was the reason we decided not to face Pacquiao. That, and they also wanted me to go down to 150 pounds and give him the same advantage that they gave Pacquiao in 2009, a catchweight."

Cotto said he was surprised to read that Arum said he offered him $13 million.

"Bob said he offered us $13 million, but he never came to us with that offer," Cotto said. "He always offered us the same guarantee he offered us in 2009, with the same benefits, and that's not fair. He offered the exact same amount of money. Of course it's a business, but all we want is fair business. You can say to Bob to tell me he made that offer to me to my face, and you will see his reaction.

"Miguel Cotto always agrees to fight the best. I've never said no to anybody, but you need to treat me fairly in business."

Even if the money could have been worked out, Cotto said the weight was a major issue.

For the 2009 bout he had agreed to go down to 145 pounds, two less than the welterweight limit, and said it took its toll. If he had taken the rematch at 150, it would mean dropping 4 pounds below the junior middleweight limit, which is where Cotto has fought his four bouts since his loss to Pacquiao.

"If he wants a big name and wants to fight the best, no catchweight," Cotto said of Pacquiao. "Making catchweights is easy for them. They make the other guy have trouble making weight and they take advantage of that. I wasn't going to do that again. I am 154 pounds. I am not going to fight at a catchweight and make myself weak."



Arum is a snake!

I think Oscar let his emotions and pride get in the way. Richard proved himself, he held GBP down while De La Hoya was going through his sht. Thanks to Schaefer we started getting great undercards and fights, including the biggest boxing event of all time.

All this just to work with Top Rank again? it's not worth it in my opinion. All TR has to offer is a fading Manny Pacquiao, 40 year old Juan Manuel Marquez, overrated Tim Bradley and Ruslan Provo. Oscar and Richard should of just worked their differences out and let HBO , Bob Arum and TR die out. Oscar is basically going out his way to save Bob Arum smh.

That's exactly the way I see it too.

They had Top Rank on it's last legs but now Oscar is going to let them off the hook and revive them.

It will be very interesting to see what happens next for both companies, for both networks, and for boxing as a whole.

[Dr Rumack]

this could go 2 ways, either the cold war is gone for real and richard fades into oblivion or he starts his own promotional company with al hamon and floyd who sign up golden boy fighters and kill gbp off

You think Floyd is going to go head to head with Oscar in a bidding war for fighters?

No chance.
