Top Rank continues to lose fighters... Where do they go? Not to GBP, but to Al Haymon... With the potential de la Hoya vs. Schaefer split, it seems that Al Haymon and Schaefer would team up with Showtime eventually. While de la Hoya gets closer to Arum (towards HBO?)...
The ongoing HBO vs. Showtime battle royale will change the big promoters' game.

AL HAYMON + TMT + SCHAEFER = Floyd vs Hopkins circus fights

Bingo!

This is what I been saying for years, Richard only worked with Arum again because Floyd retired, once Floyd came out of retirement he started talking **** again and getting arrogant he slammed Pacquiao and said he was on drugs and Arum didn't like that this guy Richard is a real two face, he is the one who gave Floyd a ridiculous payday just to get him out of retirement, Floyd never had any intention of fighting again but Richard gave him an offer he couldn't refuse and this is why golden boy doesn't turn over much profit or any when Floyd fights they think having Floyd under their banner will build their name, it doesn't work that way this isn't UFC or WWE nobody watches fights for Goldenboy or top rank they watch for fighters in boxing, not promotional companies. and people are ****** to blame Arum, Arum was the guy who didn't need Golden boy but Oscar apologize and so did Richard and from that day Arum put his fighters in with mainly golden boy fighters.

So this crap about Arum not copromoting is BS, its Richard and Al who don't want to co promote, and also people are forgetting Espinoza once he went to Showtime gave Arum the finger basically and never returned calls, Arum was trying to get some fights on showtime but once Espinoza a former golden boy lawyer got hired he was given the shaft. in favor of golden boy fights.

If arum is so bad why did he even bother copromoting and why is he willing to do business again with Oscar? Arum will work with you again, yet you don't want to apologize again it shows nothing but foolish pride, Me personally I know how old people are, and you will never get them to apologize to you first thats a given so you have to be the one to approach.

My father and mother were mean to me and did hurtful things to me when i was growing up but they are old now, and I learned to move forward its pathetic to dwell on the past just try to make things better for the future. Richard doesn't want to do that. He is denying us great fights.

Wrong.

It gradually gotten worse and wasn't some " oh Mayweather's back so **** you Arum".

Arum underhanded Goldenboy first back in 2008, Pacquiao had signed with Goldenboy and then signed with Top Rank. Pacquiao was in contract with two promotional firms. When Arum found out that he had done so, he gave Pacquiao a bigger guarantee to commit to him. Schaefer seeing Pacquaio trying to break off exclusively to Top Rank tried co-promote Pacquiao with Arum. That's one major reason why that Oscar fight was made and why Oscar was a dead man in that fight.

Anyway after that fight Pacquaio gave back Goldenboy the signing bonus he has taken to get out of the contract. Which then started a suit action from Goldenboy which Top Rank won. Which is around the time Pacquaio fought Hatton and Mayweather came back.

Years ago, Oscar was loaded. Smart businessmen pushed him into GBP... They ****** Oscar dry and now he's useless... To date, Floyd is loaded -- it's his turn then...

[White_Knight]

Hopkins is just saying this because (a) he is angry Arum recognised that his fight with Oscar was fixed, and (b) he thinks he can get a fight with Mayweather by echoing Floyd's anti-Arum sentiments.

Transparent as the water he swallows his roids with ("alien" my butt).

Interesting...

While Richard is supposed to be a "rat" and he "needs to die", Hayman is a "hero" and he "needs to sign"!?!

Interesting...

It's good to see that somebody in this forum actually knows "why" the cold war really started, not because of Floyd vs. Manny.

Kinda messed up after Oscar took a dive for him to help build up his name just weeks before Bernard became a Golden Boy fighter.
