He just posted on Yahoo this article on De la Hoya's and Schaeffer feud..I wonder how much is richard paying him,kevin goes on saying things how oscar was in desperate need of an advisor and richard came to the rescue,how oscar is beggin arum to promote together and richard just refuses,he goes on and on even saying and talking about oscars rehab..I dont doubt schaeffers skills but bottom line its called golden boys promotions not schaeffer...Kevin does it again....Anybody here sides with kevin?..Here is the full article http://sports.yahoo.com/news/floyd-mayweather-s-fight-week-shines-light-on-rift-between-oscar-de-la-hoya--richard-schaefer-082722406.html
oscar might be a dumb coke sniffing cross dresser, but he is a good guy deep down.
scheaffer is your typical dishonest disloyal european banker. a snake that will stab you in the back for money.
schaeffer is pure scum.
al haymon's nefarious whore.
We'll said. I feel the same Shafer is all up Floyd's ass along with Haymon. No wonder GBP fighters have short contracts so they can jump ship thanks to Shafer the snake.
Yeah, people acting like Richard is indispensable. There are many guys who are more than willing to CEO golden boy. Richard is made because Oscar wants to work with Arum and HBO, that is why this internal beef stems from.
Richard and Haymon will have a difficult time with the bridges they burned, with HBO, and with Arum and other promoters. They will eventually have to try and kiss and make up again like Richard did when Floyd retired to Arum, he kissed Arums ass when Pacquiao dispute was settled and he needed to make the match ups with Arums stars.
Once Floyd retires is the true test to see if they can succeed but historically HBO has higher boxing ratings than Showtime, showtime ratings are mainly high for Floyd fights.
IMO,Showtime has been kicking HBO butt lately with the double/triple headers they have been putting on. If the Cold War ends we will see fantastic cards on both networks I assume with them alternating cards back and forth but. GB and. Tr co-promoting on both networks.
Once Manny and Floyd go away it's basically all Canelo and Maybe GGG for PPV dollars. Nobody has the marketability of Floyd or Manny out there except those 2.
RS leaves and Oscar will just bring in someone else with experience and pick up where Schaefer left off.
It's still Osacar company, he built it on his name and brought fighters in because they wanted to be associated with his brand.
The real problem is Al Haymon. He is buying all these boxers and getting them good money to fight stiffs on cable networks. He and RS will form their own company and then things will hit rock bottom watch.

I thought the article was pretty fair and probably fairly accurate.
Well you see,everybody is using the marriage comparison,so my question is who really knows what goes behind close doors in a marriage,All i know Schaeffer could be an alcoholic,but what inside info DO YOU have that can tell you if its accurate or not..You can say whatever about de la hoya but hes no pushover and at end of day its his company and his name...I think this is a classic "I do all the work and he gets credit,I should make my own company"..If schaeffer thinks de la hoya will be lost without him I think he is mistaken.
I really don't understand the Schaefer hate, he's run that company the entire time and he's been a consistent presence.
Within the industry, Oscar's been sort of a joke for the last few years. He's the face and namesake of the company, but it has grown beyond him. Sorry to say believe me, but if he's checking into rehab during fight weeks and constantly becoming entangled in embarrassing episodes, he's a liability.
I'm also afraid Arum is using him for leverage to resign Pacquiao. By publicizing their conversations and floating Canelo's name with Manny's, Arum could be trying to sell Manny on GBP fights being doable.

Oscar is not dumb, you can accuse him of many things but not that. He at least had the were with all to hire Sheafer and make sure his company was being taken care of.
Oscar doesn't know how to run a business, just like Floyd doesn't know how to run a business, they pay guys to run things for them and invest for them.
The only thing here is can Richard succeed once Floyd retires? Haymon doesn't know how to build fighters he just gets them good deals, can Richard build fighters the way Top Rank built fighters?
The only way Oscar gets screwed here is if Canelo signs with Haymon, because once Floyd retires Canelo is the next biggest star on goldenboy.
Showtime deal and Richards move all revolves around Mayweather, like the article said.
Once Mayweather retires it will be interesting to see how far Richard, Haymon, Espinoza go can they build other fighters into stars and how will the showtime boxing ratings look? Will people care about Mayweather the promoter? a lot of questions.
They've built a bunch of fighters right before your eyes, where have you been?
Iole is a hardcore flomo, all of his articles come from that perspective.
It's unsurprising he's against Oscar, and pro Schaefer, because that's how Floyd is.
What he fails to acknowledge are the strong rumours that GBP have not made a profit and investors are unhappy.
All these boxing writers are crap anyway especially max boxing.com and Dan Rafael.
Dan Rafael is dreadful. A tamed journalist who somehow ended up in probably the best writing post in boxing. It's bad enough that he doesn't write particularly well, he is so averse to controversy that he has practically nothing to say about some of the most important issues in the sport.
Journalists like Dan Rafael are the reason even hardcore fans have so little factual information about a lot of what goes on in boxing, the 'cold war' included. Compared to other sports it's tragic to see how terrible the standards of journalism are. There are genuinely only a handful of writers you could have anything good to say about.
Nothing in what he wrote is false though.
I loved Oscar as a fighter, but as a promoter he was terrible.
His constant incoherent Tweets, his terrible speeches at other fighters press conferences, his constant need to go to rehab, his moods swings. One day he loves Arum and wants to hug him, the next day he's fed up with Arum and hates him. All of that adds up and takes it's toll. There is a reason people in his own company don't take him seriously.
Schaffer in the mean time has been busy growing the company. Making fights fans want to see, being involved in great PPV's. Aside from Mayweather he's busy growing Canelo, Thurman, Garcia, Broner, and others.
Oscar is an emotional guy and often acts on emotion. He just came out of rehab, and all of the sudden he loves Arum and wants to patch things up. How long is that going to last thought?
My guess is Schaffer knows Oscar like a married man knows his wife. He's going to let Oscar say what he feels, let time pass give him time to reflect and cool off, and then he'll be OK.
Let's be honest....
If you were an investor putting big money in the fight game would you trust Oscar with BUSINESS decisions if he were running the show?
Oscar may rightly feel he is being "pushed out of his own company" but he has been his own worst enemy PR wise.
Oscar doesn't know how to run a business, just like Floyd doesn't know how to run a business, they pay guys to run things for them and invest for them.

Dude everyone knows Iole is a paid guy, he starts out unbiased, but than he becomes biased cause he gets paid to schill.
Remember UFC? he wasn't a fan of mma before all of a sudden he started covering UFC, he was being paid by them.
Now Richard and Haymon are paying him off. He used to love Pacman now he bashes him, he was bashing Pacman who turned into a boxer saying fans will not buy his fights unless he delivers KO's, now he is praising Floyd saying he is so great and masterful and puts on a show wtf?
Floyd never gets KO's yet Iole puts no pressure on him to get KO's.

Shaefer has been flexing nuts lately, he knows DLH needs him so he's saying I'm going to run it my way or fire me and pay me.
One day DLH is calling Arum a dinosaur and the next day he's saying he wants to work with him again. Wasn't Arum saying the reason they don't work together is because of the networks in the US, the networks in Mexico and all kinds of other logistics? Is Arum going to jump ship from HBO and co-promote fights on SHO? Golden boy is still banned at HBO unless something has changed.
We obviously don't know all the details about where the problems originated from but DLH should get a more active role in his company if he doesn't like how it's being run. You can't just be high/drunk going to rehab then come out and want everything done differently when it's been going pretty good while you're away.
At this point there's no doubt that DLH needs Schaefer a lot more then Schaefer needs DLH. If Oscar gets rid of Schaefer his company can go to shit real fast.
Absolutely. Some people don't like Richard, but without him, the company wouldn't be much.
