Comments Thread For: Schaefer Has a Proposal To Arum on Donaire-Mares, Rios

BIGPOPPAPUMP

Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer has made a proposal to Bob Arum, the CEO of Top Rank. Golden Boy is interested in matching WBC super bantamweight champion Abner Mares against WBO king Nonito Donaire, who Top Rank promotes. Arum is open to doing the fight, but only if Top Rank handles the entire promotion.

Arum recently BoxingScene's Luis Sandoval that Top Rank has no interest in doing a straight co-promotion with Golden Boy. They are willing, however, to pay Golden Boy a fee for the services of Mares.

it's typical of GB to make the first move, arum then blows it out of proportion and will refuse to share revenues with the competition, dudes old, once he's out of the picture, the real negotiation begins

Great counter-offer by Schaefer, that's how you negotiate. But him and Bob need to negotiate face to face and not through the media otherwise nothing will come into fruition

Schaefer sounds like Mares' contract is almost up with Golden Boy.

Oh wait...

You know...all these press releases

If either of them are serious, pick up the damn phone and call each other. That is too difficult for any of them I guess. So they play the press.

They have each others phone number...pick up the damn phone and dial!!

TR has leverage on both fights cause TR has the stars. Brandon is a star and Matthysse is a nobody, so that's a ridiculous proposal from Schaefer

In what universe is Donaire a "star"? Mares actually has a big following in California...where are the millions of Donaire fans at?

No way Arum lets Nonito fight Mares. As far as Rios goes I can see Arum letting him go for Garcia. Garcias the reconized 140lb champ plus has a Puerto Rican following. That would only raise Rios' profile as a boxer. But no way he lets Rios fight Matthysse. No finacial gain for Rios if he wins, and it decapitates TR if he looses.
