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

[BUNGALOWS]

I know ..... if Floyd would come out with two completely opposite quotes, they would defend that too instead of saying that he contradicted himself!

They already have.

"Yes, Manny Pacquiao, you're next!"

"Don't put words in my mouth."


Flowmo: "Ya see, something something, stadium, April date already set, blah blah blah."

He used it as an example and you know full well that BOTH sides didn't agree to it. So that is the way it would turn out for the Floyd vs Manny attempt, which is much much bigger.

Arum at least said let's talk. Schaefer said F$CK OFF to Arum! So even if you don't believe Arum, at least he had a brighter outlook at this. Schaefer's attitude stunk right thru!!!

Again GB tried to negotiate the fight by offering 3 million dollars. Again a record breaking number for any fighter in that weight class. Again Bob Arum didn't even want to negotiate the fight. He wanted the fight under his banner and offer BOTH fighters a lot less money. Again why would Mares agree to a mega fight for less money when HIS promoter was offering him a % of 3 million?

You're claiming the negotiations didn't work. I tell you they didn't work because Bob Arum didn't make them work. Sad thing is this is nothing new. Bob Arum has always been this way, even before GBP even existed. You must not be old enough to remember the feud between him and Don King.

Yup, they see the first statement made and ignore the second....

Neither one of them is going to just step aside for a fee. That's obvious . They're promoters waiting they're whole life for a fight like this . I don't expect anyone to step aside . They have to do it together somehow or it doesn't work . It's just how it is.

TMT brand? chea right

TMT as a clothing brand, or any brand, is a joke. never seen anyone wear it, ever. makes zero dollars, bet on that. all the artwork and logos look like his daughter drew it in microsoft paint. noone likes or respects the half assed attempt at a clothing brand, like the urban market it dumb and will just throw money at clothes that look like **** because floyd says so. schaefer sounds like a fool.

So basically, since Arum can't be front-n-center in the promotion, the fight can't be made. Sounds like Arum's ego is in the way, which everyone not kissing Pac's ass have been saying for years.

This was a rant not about making a fight. Why I say that? It's not about the offers. Schaefer brought that up to make sure that it will rub on Arum the wrong way just like it probably did to GB (the on-going feud).

This rant was all negative if you are a fan of boxing. If you like Floyd/GB and hate Arum, then you may feel all giddy inside but at the end of the day, all I care about is seeing a (huge) fight.

He gave the Donaire vs Mares example ..... did GB step aside?

Who would step aside when this could be the biggest fight in a long time? Schaefer knows that. Most people know that!

If he's being paid and his fighter is getting the fight he supposedly wants most. What difference does it make who's heading the promotion?

[hitking]

arum had said those things. the same arum that said that floyd is the greatest of all time. arums statements is as reliable as floyd's. how about a statement from manny. or better lets forget all statements, lets just rely on action done by both camps. manny has sent koncz to mayweathers gym.

And Floyd called Manny personally. So what's your point?

What you don't seem to understand is that Manny isn't in a position to dictate anything. No matter how big a pill it is tto swallow. Pac is the B-side here and is gonna be treated as such.I still don't see what the big deal is about Arum not being able to head the promotion. If seeing the fight is what you want most. And if Pac is the one who truly wants the fight. He's gotta do what he gotta do. And honestly, he's not being asked to do much. All Schaefer is saying is that they don't wanna co-promote the event with Arum. Arum will be paid. His company will receive adeuate advertising. All he's gotta do is. Kick back, throw his feet up, and collect his money. And to be real, he'll make more money if he's not involved. Bcause not only would he get the agreed upon percenage of Pac's money. He'll also get a buy-out fee from GBP for Pac's services.
