This is the very first time in my long association with boxing that a full PPV card appears and disappears with nobody knowing anything about it at all, nor who the boxers are.............. Nothing-except a highly intricate, elaborate explanation, which actually explains.... nothing.
Schaefer makes lying eminently respectable.

Originally posted by hectari View PostOnly reason this guy Schaefer is being respectful to Manny Pacquiao and not trying to slam him or Arum is because he no longer has Floyd Mayweather on his roster, when he had a big star like Floyd he was talking smack, now that Floyd bounced and started his own thing and has 50 cent as his promoter he doesn;t need golden boy.
Schaefer is now going to try to be on good terms with Arum because he knows he will have no other fights that will be big unless he starts co promoting with Top Rank.
This means that he won't ever make the Forbes Highest Sports "Earnings" again.........

Originally posted by edgarg View PostThere's no comparison. Arum has a 10 year or more relationship with Cotto, and they're good friends. As for Schaefer, he says whatever he thinks up on short notice, and the chances of it being true are slim and none. He has so much "respect" for Manny Pacquiao all of a sudden that it's astounding. He doesn't seem to think it "strange" out that he can wipe out a complete PPV card just like that.

Originally posted by BoxingScenery View Postthat's a very valid point...and I was speaking in general. As a matter of fact, I couldn't agree with you more - Shaefer says he did it out of respect for Pac yet most of his statement makes disparaging claims against TR/MGM for stealing a date for a potential Canelo fight no one knows about (this is becoming a very common way of thinking for the guy). And he considers his word as a written request of some sort. Schaefer is a douche, no disagreements here.
blame him for the war in Afghanistan.......
As for Schaefer, he thinks nothing of telling us straight out lies, with practically no finess at all, and doesn't seem to know that he's so transparent. Surprising for a man who originally was a Swiss banker. Maybe turning down loans is a lot easier than making up credible on-the-spot whoppers. Arum is on a different level, a Harvard Summa Cum Laude, and it shows.
Once upon a time, over 20 year ago, he was having a few (too many) drinks with a group of newspapermen, and he mentioned something which was, he said, "off the record". The next day at a press congerence, he said something different, and a newsman blurted out "that's not what you said last night" completely breaking the "off the record" code. . Arum, always quick on his feet quipped back, "well, I was lying yesterday, today I'm telling the truth", which was a really snappy, smart, humourous best possible answer. And they made a HUGE thing out of it, and critical fans have never let him forget it, conventiently taking it that he was a self-confessed liar, trying to commit commercial suicide. How dumb.
I also think it's a good point made that since TMT productions is open for business, and Golden Balls is no longer sure of Mayweather they have a more placatory approach to MannyP. Typical fawning bully type, either at your throat or at your feet.
