Comments Thread For: Schaefer on Canelo’s Contract, Cotto, HBO, Jabs Arum

[Outwest Exp 355]

Cotto/Martinez > Cotto/Canelo.

After how horrible Canelo look against Floyd (worst than Guerrero), Canelo's stock went down big time. I think Cotto will maker more money fighting Martinez, not only that it's a chance for Cotto to be first Puerto Rican to be a 4 divisional champion.

In addition it will be a much bigger win for cotto.

You really think Cotto can make more money fight Martinez over Canelo? That's a ridiculous statement. Cotto would probably be on the A-side against Martinez but Canelo vs Cotto could fill Cowboy Stadium.

I cant even think nothing right now.. Marquez loss hit me hard. He was suppose to win. I'm still hurt dam. To get your first big-time headline at 40 still confuses me...that's boxing

no matter who you favour gbp and showtime own 2013, prob because of money may but they deffinatly done the better shows and have figures to prove it

HBO and Top Rank fanboys already trying to defend old Arum. Basically Golden Boy telling HBO come to us if you want to make $$$$, that Bradley-Marquez PPV was terrible and if Top Rank fighters weren't in slave contracts they would jump ship in a heartbeat. Good luck selling Bradley at a PPV star.

Showtime doesn't have the budget to pay all of Golden Boy's fighters. Their schedule is practically nonexistent for the next few months.

A lot of their fighters are being straight up shelved until January or put on the Broner-Maidana card because there simply isn't the budget for all the mouths GBP is trying to feed.

Bradley-Marquez was exactly as advertised, and I enjoyed it quite a bit. The Pacquiao-Rios card coming up will be another fun watch. HBO and Top Rank are doing fine by my estimation.

IDK about you guys but Arum and HBO got destroyed by Schaefer in this one. He did speak facts, for example how Pacquiao's highest PPV was on Showtime, and how HBO has 30% more subscribers than Showtime, yet they get the same amount of viewers in their boxing events.

Didnt realize that Sampson has a gold tooth. Schaefer seems like he's definitely got a hard on for Arum and constantly loves to compare his company to theirs. I wouldn't be surprised if he hires a hit man to take out arum

yes I really think that. Canelo's performance against Floyd makes me think CANELO SUCKS! Cotto Martinez will be historic.

Arum threw a jab at GBP last week. That's basically how it always starts. When you see DiBella or Schafer going on a rant against Arum, Arum said something to piss them off.

I disagree with the budget issue. If they did the dates in October, then would be going head to head with HBO on a weekly basis. They have cards on 10/26, 11/30, 12/7, 12/14. All of the cards are either triple or quardrupleheaders. HBO has 11/2, 11/9, 11/16, 11/23, 12/7. Other than 12/7, the networks are trying to avoid head to head competition.
