Schaefer gives Hoya the finger

[bartolomewj]

Wasn't it in the news that GBP's investors are said to be asking questions about it's finances?

The major shareholders (like Gabriel Brener and AEG) may also want a healthier return on their multimillion-dollar investments. However, the reality has been that De la Hoya has been an absentee owner for years, who's nothing more than a figurehead to the company. It's Schaefer who dutifully comes in and runs the day-to-day operations of the company. There was a time when the iconic De la Hoya could nab the interest of corporate en****** and sponsors.

I saw that some of you are using a strange term as connected with Haymon -- namely the term "aluminati"...

What do you mean by that?

[Grimmer]

De La Hoya has become a bit of a parody of himself really. When he's in the news it's usually him doing something embarrassing or saying something ******. Perhaps he's not the figure head to suit the company's image anymore. Schafer might believe himself.

well oscar is being the bigger man and is willing to do business with a guy who was an ******* to him in order to end a cold war that has prevented A LOT of good fights from happening to please us fight fans..........he's taking one for the team!!!!!!!!

In business you don't "take one for the team." Especially if you have your competitor right where you want him.

A competitor, by the way, that has refused to work with you when they were on top. And that has called for people to boycott your company.

your'e hopeless.......keep suckign the banker **** u filth

Im not the one using an article to say that ALL bankers are scum just to push my agenda so really you are hopeless.

Here in the Bay Area a firefighter is being investigated for **** so by your logic all firefighters are scum.

See how dumb that sounds bit its your agenda so push away

please please please Oscar...fire this mutha****a

everything he says is true man does run the company and is very proud of this work, as well he should be. If he is truely bad for boxing, it will come to light. So far the guys doing very well. bob would do the same thing, and worse. Tricky **** doesn't need bobby anymore and top rank stable is running scared, the stock is falling. **** knows it and is posturing in his power, which he does indeed have. Golden boy will put tr out of business by 2018, if bob doesn't die first. Then we should have all our fights. I, for one, have been very pleased with the showtime cards. They and floyd have created alot of buzz that has been very good for the sport. Espn picking up primetime fights now. Richard has been good for boxing. It was nice to see mikey garcia in floyds gym talking about how their 2 gyms have great relations and mutuual respect. The fighters and camps are all unifying, it's obvious.

do people seriously think top rank is about to run out of business or something????



This is all you need to know about the two promotional companies,

GOLDEN BOY PROMOTIONS HAS NEVER BUILT A BOXER FROM THE GROUND UP TO PPV STAR.

NEVER.

Arum and Top Rank on the other hand have built ALMOST ALL THE PPV KINGS in boxing history.

The issue may or may not be financial but it is not due to "Jealousy" LOL.

None of us on the outside know what the exact inner strife is. What we do know is that Oscar does not seem to be happy with what is going on there. He is concerned about the health and future of his company. That cannot be denied.

We can all speculate on what it is, but all we know is Oscar is not liking the direction Richard is taking his company. Could it be because GBP is becoming more of a leasing based company instead of making the plays themselves? Possible. Could it be Oscar is concerned that outside influences (like Haymon) is threatening the longevity and starting to exert too much future control? Possible.

We just don't know. Over the next while, we will see what plays out. This issue has nothing to do with Oscar and Bob now playing nice. The Oscar and Bob playing nice is the result of something bad going on at GBP.
