Comments Thread For: Schaefer: Golden Boy Promotions is Not Like Top Rank

[AP♠]

Golden boy promo's are dirt next to top rank


Top rank has been eating the market,the got a good boxing scouting team

There's nothing wrong with keeping the fights in-house as long as the best option is "in-house." Right now Margarito nor Cotto is the best option for Pac. Berto and Williams are the best options. Arum is full of **** for what he's doing!

Paul Williams? Are you kidding me? Paul Williams....who has a fan base comprised of No Ceiling an about half of the other Flobots on here? Plus, the dude is only a physical specimen, he looks like an amateur fighting in there with his sloppy coodrination.

Paul Williams beat Margarito who is Pac's next fight. He's an exciting fighter whose volume and work rate along with size would make an interesting match up for Pac. Williams has taken on all challengers and has a win over the current lineal MiddleWeight Champ.

This guy Shaffer is the most corrupt in the boxing industry. He is manipulative, deceiving, liar, dishonest, etc.. I have a long list to elaborate but it will not fit in this box. I am not a madam Auring but i can see it in his face. Him and Mayweather are in the same feather.

I am not really disagreeing with you..... but Schaefer get's fights made, he is probably the best negotiator in boxing. Funny that Arum originally stated that GBP were talking to Mayweather, then flip-flopped and named Greenburg.

Why did Arum not ask Schaefer to handle Mayweather ?

Not at 168, which is where he probably belongs.

He prefers to shrink himself to fight welters.

schaefer isn't the best negotiator. he owns all the HBO dates so he has leverage.

Greenburg was already the middleman. if schaefer was involved then that'd be just another middleman in between the camps.

example without Schaefer:

Pac => Arum => Greenburg <= Haymon <= Floyd.

example with schaefer:

Pac => Arum => Greenburg <= Schaefer <= Haymon <= Floyd.

I see a more successful negotiation happening like this.....
Team Pac => Schaefer <= Team Mayweather.....
along with the necessary input from Greenburg + a gag order.

Schaefer is a brilliant negotiator.....
Richard Schaefer, CEO, Golden Boy Promotions: Schaefer is Oscar De La Hoya's chief lieutenant and culls most of his influence because of that. But Schaefer has proven to be a brilliant negotiator and he's largely built the Golden Boy empire..... http://sports.yahoo.com/box/news?slu...oxmovers012208

they are both full of ****

they both protect their fighters, they both trying to keep matches in house and try to match up Golden Boy vs Golden Boy and Top Rank vs Top Rank, they both Cherry Pick for their fighters

they are exactly the SAME!
