Comments Thread For: Schaefer Offers $3 Million To Top Rank For Donaire-Mares

[BennyBlanco]

Would he accept $3 mil from Top Rank? That's how Arum wanted to make the deal.

I see this going nowhere.

Arum wasn't offering $3m. Arum was offering to buy out GB for low money. $3m is a huge number for just Donaire/TR. Donaire should make TR take the offer. If TR promotes, there is no way they would be paying Donaire anywhere near $3m.

Still early..... Sounds like bs at the moment though

I hope they take it to save us the pain of a Donaire-Rigo fight.

If Golden Boy sticks with it, they're going to lose money. Lets say they pay Mares 2 million, how the hell will they come up with 5 million dollars? Hell, 4 million would also be crazy. Berto with Al Haymon doesn't even get those type of paydays. The Berto-Ortiz rematch was pretty much a record high for Showtime at $3 million dollars for both fighters to split. Now we're talking $5 million for two jr featherweights who are pretty ****ty ratings draws?

Golden Boy has a way out by wanting to include a rematch clause or trying to get some options on Donaire, which he knows Top Rank won't allow.

GBP is desperate cuz they know Mares is about to be a free agent and is probably gonna leave to sign with Top Rank

GBP ain't gonna let Mares go. Besides, the ref for Mares seem GBP sponsored and allow free reign for Mares to top other's dude's cup......

Well Dan Rafael addressed this in his chat today. Said that no one at TR has received any real offer for $3m, its just posturing/tweeting.

It was a public offer. Everyone read that Schaefer put it out there.

So no paperwork needed.?.?.?

Arum just needs to say ok and see if paperwork comes in. No need to start excuses about waiting. Call the bluff
