That's because every GBP is signed to Haymon not Golden Boy, Oscar found out about this and told Scheffer to **** off. I'm not sure how that is Oscars fault that some guy was trying to screw him over.

Haymon and GBP are still working together. Why do ppl keep saying this? Lol.Find a new exuse brah.

because he owed the company and should know whats going on in his own company.

how is it only oscar did not know who he had signed to his own company

[shade darkar]

boxing is getting crap these days, the best wont fight each other and are more interested in bickering over material ****e.

hopefully it gets better soon because i aint paying for PPVs like this **** or paying for boxnation.

"Pay-per-view was always designed, as was closed circuit back in the day, for true super fights, not just very good fights. There have been pay-per-views every month and people resent the fact that they're asked to pay extra for anything halfway decent. Boxing pay-per-view numbers are down. Look at the (recent) numbers for the (Floyd) Mayweather and (Manny) Pacquiao fights. The UFC pay-per-view numbers are also down."

Says BOB ARUM, the guy putting on a lot of these fights. Looking to do more of these types of fights. Going to be making more of these statements.

PPV isn't the problem, its the Haymons and the likes getting 7 figure paydays for guys upfront at the table. Then PPV is necessary for anyone to make money after paying the fighter.

That's great, but you said GBP working with Arum not Oscar and Haymon you can't even remember what you wrote.

I'm glad most of you guys aren't businessmen, you would fall right on your face. The owner is the MONEY, he signs the check he doesn't run the business that's how nearly every business in any country works. Not if you own a restaurant with 10 employees but we're talking hundreds of employee's. Oscar said "I have the money to start this, but I don't have the brains." So he hired Schaeffer as he should of, it isn't Oscars fault that some guy tried to screw him.

All these Haymon fans have an IQ of 70 or less, it has to be because you guys are really ****ing ****** thinking that an OWNER should know the duties of a CEO. I mean seriously, do you think the Patriots owner is the one picking the talent or coming up with the gameplan? Maybe it was Donald Sterling who picked all the right players to put the Clippers in the position they are now after 50 years in the league?

We're not talking employees, we're talking roster. We're talking product. And if the owner doesn't know what his products are then that's a huge ****ing issue.

[brick wall]

pac should just retire...he got too much in his plate.

he's into politics and now he's about to coach (figurehead) a pro basketball team and wants to play pro basketball too

he's just fighting for the money now. i hope this ppv fails big time but even if it does he will still get paid.

His product is boxing right? I think Oscar knows boxing a lot better than Schaeffer and your roster would be your EMPLOYEES. Also it wasn't like Schaeffer wasn't putting on shows or fights, he was doing EXACTLY that and I'm sure Oscar was fine with it, what he didn't know was there was no long term commitments from the fighters with Golden Boy fronting all the money and paying for them. Obviously Oscar figured something was going on and took care of it, apprently if you don't fix it before it happens it makes you incompetent.
