"The boxing fans are really sick and tired about the lies of Bob Arum," Schaefer told Ring dotcom. "The fact is that yesterday he was lying, today he's lying, and tomorrow, he will still be lying. Once a liar, always a liar.
Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer is incensed in the wake of news that Top Rank Inc. CEO Bob Arum is fielding offers from potential investment groups looking to stage the megabout between THE RING's Nos. 1 and 2 pound-for-pound-rated fighters, Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Schaefer also has taken issue with a related development reported by The New York Daily News, which claims the adviser of Pacquiao (54-3-2, 38 knockouts), Michael Koncz, visited Mayweather (42-0, 26 KOs) during a light workout at the fighter's Las Vegas-based gym last week.
"We've been fielding proposals and we're talking to people," said Arum, who turns 80 on Dec. 8. "I'm sure that Floyd's doing the same."
Ring dot com also reported both situations.
Past negotiations for the megabout between Mayweather, who is handled by Golden Boy Promotions, and Pacquiao, who is promoted by Top Rank Inc., twice failed over Mayweather's insistence on Olympic-style drug testing.
"The boxing fans are really sick and tired about the lies of Bob Arum," Schaefer told Ring dot com. "The fact is that yesterday he was lying, today he's lying, and tomorrow, he will still be lying. Once a liar, always a liar.
"Now, he comes again with these bulls__t stories about negotiations and meetings taking place. Who the heck is he fooling?"
Pacquiao is coming off a controversial majority decision win over THE RING lightweight champ Juan Manuel Marquez in their third match on Nov. 12.
Arum announced at the post-fight press conference the possibility of a fourth matchup against Marquez, whom Mayweather routed by unanimous decision in September of 2009.
Two days later, Schaefer told Ring dot com that he would likely seek another opponent for Mayweather, who is targeted to return on May 5 to the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Schaefer cited an e-mail from retired federal judge Daniel Weinstein, the mediator who has worked closely with both sides to settle numerous lawsuits and issues in recent years, to indicate that Arum does not want to stage a Mayweather-Pacquiao fight.
