    Schaefer doesn't negotiate for mayweather ... He is neither his manager or promoter. Arum and Jerry jones trying to negotiate a PAC/Floyd fight by contactin Schaefer would be the same as them calling you up and you not showing up (for good reason as it would be a waste I time) .. Also mayweather vs PAC wouldn't have been happening in Dallas Texas .. Of at least I highly doubt it. It would e had to have been Vegas. Now as far as outdoor stadiums go ... You guess is as good as mine.

        Everything else is just theory and speculation.
        There was no point for him to fly to Dallas when Floyd said he wasn't going to fight in Texas there was no need to waste his time.

            All started when De la Hoya left Bob Arum's Top rank. If he didn't leave then we would have no issues now, yes since Oscar left they have worked together but you know it was only when Arum has something to gain.

              Arum obviously. He's got an ego three times the size of Floyd Mayweather.

                Its funny that this feud is an extension of the Floydiots vs Pactards feud on NSB

                Floydiots like GBP
                *******s like TR

                Kind of embarrassing

                  Yup, embarrassing is the exact word i'd use too. The thing is, they are both to blame. I do enjoy seeing posts which defend one or the other though, the bias just bleeding out

                  I really can't believe i've lived to see the day when we see Network fanboys on here, just because they are staunch GBP footsoldiers. The boxing fandom is shameful nowadays

                    Oscar. It all came to a head when Floyd and Pac's bull**** started. The combination of dislike Oscar and Mayweather have for Arum and Arum's own ego has led us where we are now.

                      Probably when they realised they could both make a **** tonne more money (with far less risk) keeping most of their fights in house than they would pitching their guys against each other.

                      Yeah and the Pac thing too...
