    Then why won't Arum make fights with any Haymon fighters?

      We don't know that he wont after all of this settles and GBP and Arum start working together. I would not be surprised to see them form one company out of both in a merge. But Schafer left because he did not want to end the cold war, a war that ONE HUNDRED PERCENT of boxing fans wanted to see end.

        Schaefer tried to make fights with Arum. He offered like $3 million to get Nonito Donaire for Abner Mares when that fight still meant something.

          It is going to be a whole new ballgame soon. Expect many power shifts.

How unfair is that to his employees and fighters? Look at my past posts, Richard Schaefer is the man, he negotiated the TV deals, Venue deals, signing of fighters, sponsorship deals etc.. He brought a couple of Billionaire investors to the table, all while the face of the company was MIA or in some sort of scandal or in rehab. Who can get someone to invest in your company while you are ever around?? Hopkins dropped truthful bombs in this article and I hope you and others read it carefully, because GBP is about to be gone ! Arum is going to deliver the death blow and this will send Oscar back to rehab - Top Rank is loving this - There are no dates past July - WTF is that, Oscar can't negotiate that, he is not a business man, he is a boxer - Schaefer's absence will be felt, he was the gargoyle that fended off the BS, everyone knows De la Hoya's insecurities - the contract situation is pretty messed up , I will admit that.
            valid points well taken...

            however bad oscar may have been, all RS promotional transactions were in the name of GBP, if i am not mistaken...

            sure as RS did all the running the show stuff the fact is it's for GBP. What i'm saying is RS was the face but GBP was/is still the firm/entity the other parties deal with on legal terms
