Steve Kim @stevemaxboxing 53m
Schaefer says that the date he's holding for Feb 15th at the Staples is for Mares-Gonzalez II and LSanta Cruz in the co-main #boxing
Steve Kim @stevemaxboxing 50m
But Schaefer said he didn't want to announce too many dates for fear that Ken Hershman and HBO would counter-program them #boxing #OUCH
Regarding Cotto and Canelo
Steve Kim @stevemaxboxing 48m
And Schaefer says he expects Cotto to make a decision one way or the other in 'the next couple of weeks'..... #boxing
Steve Kim @stevemaxboxing 48m
@CarlosSteph3 - no, March 8th, Canelo vs TBA is at the MGM Grand
Their emphasis on big fights. IMO, dependent on where the A-side is from
Steve Kim @stevemaxboxing 48m
Schaefer emphasized that Texas,LA and New York will continue to be key markets for Golden Boy. IMO, that's great, real cities/venues #boxong
Probable Quillin Return date
Steve Kim @stevemaxboxing 42m
March 29th, there could be a card at the Barclay Center in Brooklyn per Schaefer.... #boxing
Rematch clause
Ya sure I guess. Mares looked like he was staring at the Corona girls when he got hit with that hay maker. I remember being very high on Mares going in. I was/am impressed with the way he was/is developing. Completely different fighter from the c0ck knocker who knocked Adbeckos c0ck into the nose bleed seats in their first fight.
But with Vegas, Texas, and LA being the 3 places for his fights this year, I'm thinking Vegas is the one with the biggest name opponent. Canelo can sell arenas fine on his own, but GBP wants Cotto in as the A-side badly for a reason. The PPV numbers.
They would both be A-Sides for that fight IMO; but this the only that doesn't include Floyd I see getting close to 1 mil PPV buys. Hell I want to go to this fight.

Probably raise ticket prices too.
Canelo pretty much sold out the MGM with Lopez; trust me the guy brings in people to Vegas

If Canelo is fighting at the MGM in March, Cotto must be their top priority right now. No one else has half his drawing power that is available.

Oh, I was talking about Golovkin to Showtime
GGG has a good thing going with HBO; unless he fights Canelo or Floyd there no options at Showtime for him.
he said he was there just to enjoy a night of boxing. I highly doubt they could lure him away from HBO
If they did he brings Golden Boy roster with him but he's more than likely tied to Showtime thru 2015
OOhhhh?

I find this interesting, while Ken Hershman of HBO wasn't at the GGG-Stevens fight, you know who was? @StephenEspinoza SHO. Kudos #boxing
hmm very interesting indeed.
