Comments Thread For: Schaefer Lashes Out At Arum Over Mayweather-Pacquiao

[Spoon23]

Schaefer will probably changing his tune and ready to kiss Arum's A if Mayweather fights Khan.

Schaefer played his trump card with Canelo, they have no money making fights after that because of the ridiculous contract Showtime offered Mayweather.

they lost 12 million on Mayweather vs Guerrero

and it's not like Showtime or Golden Boy made much off of Mayweather vs Canelo

Schaefer said about that fight

"On a Mayweather fight, we have extremely thin margins," Schaefer said. "Somebody asked me the other day if we were going to make $10 million. I said 'Are you crazy?' No way. A fraction of that. Which is OK."

since Mayweather's minimum guarantee is so high virtually every fight will lose money for Showtime/GBP except blockbuster fights, which they don't have one at the moment.

if Showtime loses enough money, Espinoza might have to turn on his boss, Schaefer, in order to save his job with the Showtime execs. and that would mean pressing for a Mayweather vs Pacquiao fight.

This is the only hope we have. Yes Schaefer brought out they're trump card in the likes of canelo who has a big Mexican following epically on Mexican holiday cinco the mayo. Now they have none like him for Floyd.

They don't earn much as a promoter when it comes to Floyd. Very thin margins, which results to him bursting up in the interview, coz deep down inside he feels doing a khan fright will lose him money, and arum is right for calling it a ****in' fight. That khan fight is too risky and he is feeling the risk already. A banker knows he gambled in here. And the odds of making a profit is dim.

When Mayweather khan fight flops, expect a truce for a September showdown with PAC and May. Provided they both win their next bout.

This is just such an unprofessional interview. This man is supposed to be the CEO of a company. I thought he just came across as a ranting child.

Pac is with Top Rank, Floyd is with Golden Boy. What part of "working together" do these idiots not get?

There is more to this ranting by Schaefer. He has lost money promoting Floyd. He feels that the experienced teacher in Arum as a Longtime promoter seems to be calling it right every time. They are getting short changed for every fight Floyd makes. He gets pissed off in arum for telling them they're wrong, but somehow arum calls it right. Gbp is losing money. That's the whole reason for all the ranting like a child.

Deep down he feels aggravated for agreeing to Floyd's demands and having a thin margin for themselves. Arum telling them Who cares about Khan. Is a slap in his face coz deep down they will work for nothing and pay Floyd everything wether they lose money or earn a little. He is feeling the heat.

Why is it so hard for people to grasp? Floyd doesnt want arum to see a dime if he can help him. I don't blame him

The ranting of a child is a given clue there is more to it. Schaefer is a greedy banker like arum is a greedy bastard. They want it all. No one is flinching, but when both camp flops there next fight. I hope this super fight can happen come September.

Money talks for all men in this drama. Schaefer, arum, Floyd, Pac and all the rest who wants money. Their next fight will flop, hopefully so this can happen come sept.

Your bull**** is as tiring as ARum's. Grow up and admit that Manny shouldn't have turned down the 50/50 over something so silly as both fighters being faced with advanced PED tests.

He used his leverage and figured he'd always have the upper hand. He and ARUM WERE WRONG.

SHowtime/CBS invested in Floyd and helped reshape his image. Al/floyd/GBP built Caneo up on floyd's undercards and made the fight into the biggest ppv event ever. They sold big with Cotto at 154. Meanwhile, Manny is fighting guys fans simply don't want to see. Just admit the plan didn't work.

Now manny is going to be lucky to get 80/20. Idiot should've fired Koncz, left TR, hired Haymon and he'd be be in a far better position. Time to stop blaming everyone else for Manny's poor judgement.

Grow up? All you have is something from 4 years ago that Floyd placed as his first roadblock. Did you admit that Floyd took the wrong approach by ACCUSING Manny with no proof of being a cheat? With that alone, I can see Manny or any else saying, NO WAY!!! Heck, guys have said no like Hopkins but you guys don't care about that, do you?

Back then they came close .... they were like 7 days apart in the cutoffs. Most of us wished they signed that deal .... so it's you that needs to grow up. Why? At first, one may say that the initial roadblocks were just a coincidence but after so so many of them, you need to start looking in the mirror when you are calling people names like that.

What has changed the dynamics is the loss by Manny but let's face it, the Floyd roadblocks started from DAY #1. The loss could have also happened to Floyd if he picked an opponent that gave him trouble but he prefers to pick and chose flat-footed fighters that we don't give more than 25% chance of winning and most of those who think they have a chance are the opponent's fans!

Floyd was waiting for Manny to either lose or show signs of losing a step .... Floyd is almost ready to take on Manny ... Manny just needs to lose a bit more and Floyd will be knocking on the door first ......

It's all in archives. Look it up. There just subcontractors for Floyd's promotional company. It's all in the archives where in they stacked themselves with good under cards and over the top ads to promote Floyd's fight. Resulting to no profit. Ain't b.s. its been reported so many times. Good ppv numbers but overhead promoting a floyd fight with all the ads results to almost breakeven for the GBP boys. Floyd gets paid no matter what while Gbp always seems to get short changed.

GBP gets a lot more out of their relationship with Floyd than just a small cut of his PPV as subcontractors. You seem to be forgetting that Floyd is fighting GBP fighters who are under full contract and owe GBP a full promoter's stake.

Moreover, they have used his PPVs to makes guys like Danny Garcia and Canelo into stars, and use his persona to hype guys like Adrien Broner. GBP is doing very well right now, especially regarding their Barclay's shows. They put on fights that people want to see, they regularly stage events in NYC and LA instead of Vegas alone, and they stack their cards.

Exactly, why not use the biggest stage to promote your fighters? Exactly why I don't buy TR ppv's and apparently not many other people buy them either.
