"who is going to replace Richard Shaeffer?"

[Vasyl’s dad]

I keep seeing this question posed in the few threads since todays news came out. Usually, the people asking this question, ride the floyd/haymon tip pretty hard. Let me ask you guys,

"who is going to replace the brand, Oscar De La Hoya?" Yes, Oscar alone, is a boxing brand. Which is why it was easy for him to make Golden Boy Promotions. Of course hes not the brains behind the operation, but he is the face, the face that many people worldwide, have liked, for over 2 decades now. That likability is a huge reason for his success as a promoter. People liked to watch Oscar fight, so its no problem for them to pay to see the fights he promotes.

Now tell me, why do people tune in to see Floyd? Its obviously not his charm, or his wit. Its not his knockouts or action packed fights. Bottom line, people pay to see him lose. And it works for him. Which is great for him. But how does that translate into a successful promotional company? How does that make fans want to pay for a MayHaymon Promoted fight when he isn't fighting anymore?

People don't watch gbp fight because of oscars pretty face. They still might do well without Richard but Oscar is still a recovering addict. This could easily backfire. And lol at another Floyd thread from you

Anyone with the right credentials, it doesn't take a genius to do the job (and better than he did it since he fcuked everything up).

If they're lucky somebody with a smaller ego. We've got enough clowns in this circus already.

Oscar said he's gonna text Ali on which fights to make.

[MaskedMurderer]

Who ever Oscar picks its his company, like oscar said he found Richard and brought him into this world and He can find another richard he aint worried.

Is DLH really the paragon of stability, doe?

Seriously.

Schaefers of the world are a dime a dozen. DLH should hire someone who can do business with all networks as well as other promoters. Showtime alone can't build up fighters from the ground up. They don't have the resources. All the fighters they have now all come from HBO. Whatever success they're having will be short-lived. They will have to spend, spend, spend to build up new fighters.
