Serious read! Why do people hate Richard Schaefer?

[Chiboxing123]

Because mfer don't have a boxing background and he is one of the main reasons why the sport can be such bs. Don't have hours to discuss why he is a complete jackass but even king and arum got along for the betterment of the sport. So yep it's Richards fault alright.hope he gets canned

[Tay Roc]

Excellent CEO. Has brought GBP to the forefront. I like him a lot. I don't know his beef with arum, but it seems genuine and justified.

[Holywarrior]

I don't hate him but why would I like someone not interested in working with HBO or Arum? Childish

Let me give you some back drop. Richard Schaefer use to run USB, the Swiss bank. He was managing accounts of billionaires. Oscar got beat up by Tito. Felt confused. He contacts Richard and ask him to help him run a company. Schaefer at the time knew nothing about boxing. Which he openly admitted. Yet he knew money and understood finances. Long story short Schaefer made golden boy the brand it is today. He took a risk and it worked. Oscar has been doing drugs in and out of rehab. This whole time, Schaefer has been at the helm of golden boy. Making it bigger and bigger each year. Ultimately Oscar force this on himself. In May you are working on the biggest pay per view in the history of boxing. Out of the times in the world. Rehab? You need rehab. While we are trying to make history. I feel that was the last straw for Schaefer. Schaefer has been in the game learning how the game works. Running the company being the glue Making Oscar more money than ever while he's away at rehab. He realized he doesn't need Oscar, maybe Oscar is holding him up. Do you blame him for feeling that way? Also after being away Oscar comes back on the scene and all of a sudden. Announces that he wants to do business with Arum. Schaefer and Arum truly hate each other , personally.

Just a theory: Schaefer is most likely the smartest man in boxing. If I was Schaefer, I would be loving life. You have top rank with a weak in house stable. You are doing business with Al Haymon. Buying every hired gun that's for hire. You have your hands on so much talent it's crazy. HBO kicked you off their network. Now HBO is in trouble they're putting on shat cards and ppv's. They will ultimately need you. Top Rank is banned from the MGM. Now if you can build up all this young talent. You have all the dates you want at the MGM on showtime. It's only one fighter from top rank you and that's Manny fckin Pacquaio. Manny fckin Pacquaio, just so happen to be only thing keeping your rival semi relevant. At one point in time, you were in serious negotiations with Pacquaio to fight Money Mayweather. So now you know more than anyone else out side of his management. His finances, his bottom dollar for the fight and how bad does he want the fight. If he needs the money from the fight eventually he'll come crawling. From his point of view he might feel fck HBO, Arum and Oscar. If my theory is correct. Schaefer is about to commit a hostile takeover of boxing. I'm not saying it's right for fans or boxing but if he sees it the way I think it is. It's at least smart. As it stands he doesn't need HBO Oscar or Arum as much as they need him. He will be calling the shots at golden boy or elsewhere for time to come.

with the help of uncle al and floyd. the terrible threesome lmao

He's Arum 2.0. I don't like the way he do business, but he's good at what he does.

[Brandish]

in all seriosuness richard is good for the business,

look at goldenboy and showtime they are in the pole position, great stable of fights for many years to come.

[Carpe Diem]

Because he does not bend down for Arum, that's the only reason.

People really believe that Oscar firing Schaefer would solve the GBP vs TR issues. Lol, they are new fans, they do't know that the issue actually is between Arum and Haymon, with Schaefer just inheriting the beef when he joined GBP.

When you hear news of Arum and Haymon doing business, that's when you should get happy. DLH firing Schaefer? That will do nothing but have GBP fighters, who are not signed with Haymon, fight TR fighters. I can count with one hand how many GBP fighters are not with Haymon.

^^^^^^ This.

Why won't Fraud/Schaefer bend down to Arum's terms? It's like they're completely ignoring that Arum always want what's best for Arum, but they hate it when other people try to do the same thing and not give in to what Arum want.

oscar is more invested in his piles of coke and a pair of fishnets than the career of GBP fighters.
