Comments Thread For: Schaefer Reacts To Arum's Mayweather Boycott Plea

[bimhead]

Pacquiao didn't win anything. The defamation case was settled out of court and Mayweather paid some of Pacquiao's legal fees for the days that he did not show up to court. If you consider preventing the fight from happening a win for Pacquiao (which could definitely be argued) then you can say that he won the lawsuit...

he won the lawsuit...lol...well,if he's on peds then they're all on peds,prove they're not!

Reports say GBP got a flat $2 million in the Canelo/Money fight. Not even enough for the statewide tour.

Doe, PPV numbers don't paint a complete picture. Mayweather fights are expensive to produce starting from Money's $40 million guarantee. Then Canelo's purse, the expensive undercards, promotion, Access produced by amateurs, then the live weigh-in ceremony, you name it. They spent more than they made, doe. It's obvious by the rarity of subscription-based fights they have shown since the fight. Guerrero, Berto, Matthysse, Khan, they're now fighting once a year. Mass number of fighters in their stable have been on a long layoff.

What reports?
Mind posting?

I started my SHO subscription when this huge rift between Schaefer and HBO started, thinking that with Mayweather on board it will lead to competition, thus more fights for SHO. So far, SHO hasn't been producing regular fights as often as expected since the so-called PPV record breaker. I suspect Alexander/Khan didn't happen because of lack of funds, not because Khan preferred to wait for Mayweather's decision. Schaefer simply didn't pursue it because Alexander's team was demanding a huge purse. Look at how quick the Porter/Alexander got made. Star vs Star types of fights are expensive to make. GBP can only afford undercard fights or Star vs Bum types.

Unfortunately for Alexander, he thought Porter was an easy fight. Lol. He ended up losing his title and getting low money reward for it.

Facts, not opinions. SHo didn't produce fights in the last quarter last year for the same reasons HBO produced less in the 1st 3 qtrs-they choose a business strategy and stuck to it.

Sho will have more free fights on in the next month-6 weeks than HBO will. Again, facts my man, not crazy opinions and fantasies that support only your argument.

They are putting up a lot of fights, but bundling them together into triple headers and such

Schaefer needs to start distancing himself from Money Mayweather and stop defending the guy. He needs to start fixing his relationship with Hoya. GBP is just getting crumbs from the Greedy Team. He needs to realize that Money Mayweather is a polarizing figure that hurts business. Schaefer has been making enemies not friends. Soon, MM will retire and he's left with SHO's limited budget. His fighters will soon go to TR en masse when they're not getting any fights.

I agree, but not while Floyd is still making them money. I say once Floyd becomes virtually useless when he retires, Golden Boy should let their pants down so Floyd and Al Haymon can start gargling their ball sweat. Anybody can see Al is stealing Golden Boy fighters with Floyd's influence as his backup plan once he loses Floyd. I'd be pissed if I was Golden Boy, but they would rather be screwed in the back by Haymon over Arum any day it seems.
