It's a revolutionary time for boxing.
First Haymon comes out guns a blazing getting $900 million+ to get PBC rolling and now Schaefer is apparently bringing in another dump truck full of money from investors to build up PBC even bigger.
It's no surprise that investors are willing to spend big $$$ on boxing seeing that the UFC is getting sold for over $4 billion.
Drop $2 billion to sell for $5-$6 billion in 8-10 years.
He probably will/can if he decides to. After all, he's been the one saying Schaefer built GBP from the ground up. Going big entails using his millions in the bank. And that's probably the thing he's not willing to do. Schaefer had to look elsewhere.
Yep. It seems obvious.
Will Floyd ever become a big time promoter or what?

Any guess why the predicted Floyd/Schaefer collaboration didn't materialize? Fighthype bragged and headlined multiple articles about it but nothing came up. Just like they predicted the demise of HBO when Schaefer took all of GBP fighters with him to Showtime at the same time when Floyd just signed up with multi-million contract with SHO. Every floydhype fanboy was predicting Showtime will make HBO irrelevant doe. What the hell happened?

:unitedsta
Jacobs wanted to take some time off from what I understand. Quillin is, has been & will always be a space cadet so I doubt Haymon is "shelving him". I doubt Haymon is "shelving" many guys at all if any. I think Porter got shelved cuz of the TV issues + Thurman car accident & was kinda effed up, but that fight was so valued that they thought that the best course I can only assume to secure that fight happened. From what I read Jacobs is pissed he has to wait till September and didn't want that much time off and we all ready Porter wanted to come back sooner. Jacobs is even in a story here on this site saying pbc has nothing for him but a mora rematch at this time. Looks like he has the wrong promoter for his weight class
Floyd isn't THAT different. There are lotsa guys who arent with Haymon but signed with PBC promoters. I don't see why Schaefer wouldn't be able to do the same. Ultimately Haymon can't sign everyone. The critical mass of talent that PBC needs will largely grow from here in via his network of promoters and Haymon cherry picking the cream of the crop.
And he is different In that Floyd's non haymon guys bey Gavril jack etc fight in PBC cards all the time. You see dibella have to use shobox or his broadway boxing cards for his non haymon guys. Not the same with Floyd

I just don't get why Haymon is shelving so many of his fighters. Not sure why he is punishing them. I mean I get Devon Alexander. He's been on a downward spiral and Porter I though should have got an interim fight when keef got hurt but even before it was scheduled for March originally these guys should have got Nov/Dec fights.
Then guys like Danny Jacobs off his big win, Lamont Peterson, Peter Quillin off just his first career loss will all have been on ice over 9 months even they finally fight. Jacobs shouldn't have been punished after that ko.
Then his favorites like Deontay and LSC are Bout to have their 2nd fights of the year way before these guys get their first why is he being a diick to them?
Nah. Haymon had only use for Mayweather when he's fighting. Or TMT fighters are involved.
Why do you think Dibella is promoting all these PBC fights and not Mayweather? Even Dibella would be kicked out eventually. All these Schaefer propaganda doing it on his own have all been huge charade. Who are we kidding? Schaefer will become a full-time promoter for PBC/Haymon/Sho eventually. Which was the plan in the first place.
Mission accomplished doe.
That's interesting. How many cards has DiBella promoted? Mayweather?
Who cares... the Mayweather/Schaefer/Haymon takeover is already in motion.

This hoes without saying. As soon as Schaefer said he was entertaining a return you had to know he had been raising capital. Isn't that what he's always done? Boxing is going to look very different in the next 3-5yrs.
So did Thurman...except a lot more people saw it.
So if both Brooks and Thurman are superior to porter. How exactly is Thurman/Porter the best against the best?
Pretty much this. They are all going to share the pot with haymon taking like 45% shafe 35% and floydie 20-% either way they all make money
Man, does this site breed these kinds of idiots or what? Al's running a nice scam where he pays himself and will be exiting out. Schaefer might be trying to come back, though.
TMT is a garbage promotional outfit.
