Comments Thread For: Schaefer Comments on Lawsuit, Pacquiao vs. Malignaggi

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer is surprised that WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao is planning to sue his company for defamation. Schaefer spoke with BoxingScene.com's Robert Morales and maintains that he never accused Pacquiao of taking any illegal substances; he was simply following the instructions of Floyd Mayweather Jr. and his team [who Golden Boy was respresenting in the Pacquiao fight negotiations]. Pacquiao is also planning to sue Mayweather and his father Floyd Mayweather Sr. [Click Here To Read More]

Makes sense to me. It does seem dumb for Pac to sue Floyd and then fight Paulie though

If the fights not done by first week of January I think it's really done for. Should hype it up even more for later this year though.

I'll bet this is gonna throw another wrench in the relationship between GBP and Top Rank and we are gonna be denied a lot of good match ups besides this one now like the way it used to be.

Schaefer sounds a bit scared of Pacquiao suing golden boy. I remember an article that Schaefer blatantly accused Pacquiao of steroid use just before the negotiation started.

Just an overall bad situation for the sport that's gonna keep more good fights from happening between the two companies.

the lawsuit will go nowhere.....

aside from the fact that he's willing to face paulie, i can't remember anybody flat out saying manny is using steroids. from what i remember, each statement has been started with "i think...."


since when can you be sued for your thoughts?

man up manny, take the tests if you're innocent, then fight march 13th. simple as that. the longer this goes on, and manny contradicts himself with actions like these, the worse he'll end up looking.

He is right though and I said it on here for the past week when people tried to call him hypocrites about Mosley. Again, do you guys really think Schaffer cares about Pac taking these test? It wouldve never even crossed his mind but if thats what Senior, Ellerbe, and Haymon wants then he has to represent that. He didnt come up with it, nor does he care anything about it but if thats what they tell him then thats what he has to do. He's even talked before about Arum coming up with a different idea and how he would try to sell his side on it. He wants the fight done and wants that big money.

BTW, cant no Pac fan deny what he said about how it was in the contract from the jump. Everyone in the world knew about it and there side said it was ok and now its a problem? Arum shouldve got that **** straight from the jump because everyone knew how Senior felt and what he wanted

This i called Saving Face and placing Blame. Shame on Golden Boy for using their Puppet Schaefer to who is now trying to place blame soley of Mayweather Sr., but i am sure they will be in court too. Happy New Year Golden Boy and the Mayweathers for being scared of PacMan, in and out of the RIng.
