Comments Thread For: Hopkins on His Golden Boy Status, Schaefer's Departure

[Mitchell Kane]

Schaefer did his job he was running the day to day operations. Getting contracts and endorsements not Oscar who was a figure head. Oscar was doing all of that as a fighter with Top Rank. Incompetent bosses lose control over there company.

Schaefer was busy with contracts, but not Golden Boy promotions contracts.

So sad that oscar is that weak.

he's always been the weak link..richard is moving on to work with people he can relate to people who work hard and don't spend time snorting coke.

Watch how that works out and see the difference chess and checkers players

they don't have a clue..they really don't...

Good interview.
He praises Schaefer and al haymon a lot without bashing Oscar.

Looks like he is going to have a meeting with his team to decide things.

PAC top of this era lmao ...I've never laughed so hard

Bu-bu-bu-but Schaefer left because Oscar wanted to end the "Cold War" and he wants to keep protecting Floyd from Manny

you really believe that?

[Cinci Champ]

one things for sure mp is about be be a big player

[Cinci Champ]

And still Floyd and Ellerbe want to continue doing business with GBP? Maybe it's because they need Oscar's promotional banner. How is Floyd going to keep his multi million dollar agreement with Showtime if he needs a co-promoter? Who's going to put out that kind of money?

they already said they wont be doing anything with gbp most everyone gbp was making $ off would never sign with gbp

Then you really should leave the house more. Meet some funny people.

Ellerbe said that Monday. On Tuesday he said Floyd wants to fight Canelo again and they want to work with GBP in the future.

Honestly, I don't see who they can get to promote their fights without GBP's infrastructure. I'm sure once they sobered up this morning they realized that. Haymon is not exactly Mr. Popular in most Boxing circles and Schaefer will be on the sidelines for as long as the non compete clause is in effect.

So where do guys signed exclusively with Haymon go? Even Thurman was talking about possibly signing with Top Rank. Guys aren't going to sit around for months-a year+ waiting for Schaefer and Haymon to get their new venture off the ground. Plus there will most likely be a long drawn out legal battle over Richard's negligence and clear conflict of interest during his time as CEO. He was entrusted to act in the best interests of Golden Boy but he was clearly nothing more than a stooge for Haymon and Mayweather.
