Schaeffer is Screwed

[al-Xander]

Floyd doesn't have a promotional company. Pe need to drop that.

Floyd is too tight fisted for a promoter. Only morons would work with him.

if schaafer and haymon join forces, who cares? then we see the real com out, and who is gonna support that type of company?

[badass316]

Schaeffer being let go shouldn't surprise anyone seeing as that Oscar has the power to do so if he so wishes. I doubt Oscar lets him go though, they seem to be extremely good friends and have been for quite some time. I think Schaeffer will cut ties with Haymon before he cuts ties with Oscar.

Lol ppl on this site are astounding with how they think the world works. Well I'm just going to sit back abd enjoy the (non) rude as nothing changes. U think Haymon is going away? Bahahahaha. U think Schafer is going away if he doesbt want to? Do ppl understand that he's the one that brings in all the GBP investments etc? He has contacts, he gas support. He's not in any trouble. It's obvious he doesn't care about potentially leaving GBP. Yet he's screwed. Silliness

[Nay_Sayer]

You Pac.tards are a gullible bunch. Oscar's haste to "end" the Cold War by running back to Arum should be seen as nothing more than a desperation move on his part. Obviously Schaefer and Haymon have Oscar by the balls so Ole' Fishnets goes running back to Uncle Bob for help. Oscar *may* be the face of Golden Boy Promotions but Richard Schaefer is the oil the allows the cogs to turn. Richard was building up GBP and running the day to day activities while Ole' Fishnets was coked up and taking photos for the latest edition of Hustler magazine. This is the reason why Schaefer hasn't been fired despite the fact that he has *publicly* refused to comply with the wishes of the majority share holder. If Schaefer bolts - Golden Boy is done and Oscar KNOWS this.

Schaefer has done a great job for us boxing fans. Getting us some of the best fights like Mares vs De Leon and Matts vs Swift as co features on ppv's and also fights like Maidana vs broner with a stacked undercard. I really do hope everything works out between him and Oscar. If Richard doesn't want to work with Arum he should just let Oscar handle it and he should just work with Showtime and Al Haymon. Doesn't mean he can't go to the HBO events and make this money.

it's you who is naive...there's a lot of guys in the business world who are better skilled than schaefer. oscar can fire schaefer and hire another one if he wants to. gbp's success doesn't end with schaefer.

It's not just about whether he can replace Schaefer another, but the relationships Schaefer has formed with the people in the industry. At the end of the day, when Oscar was getting coked up, Schaefer would have been networking for the company.

That being said, I wasn't getting at that primarily. Oscar is simply a fool for trusting the owner of a rivalling company, whilst allowing that same man to stir the pot on his company's internal affairs.

Lol at this Floyd fanboys saying the world will end without Schaefer and Haymon. Schaefer broke a lot of relationships along the way. There's no doubt GBP is stacked with fighters with recognizable names which HBO help build up. But where are they? They seldom fight. Showtime don't have deep pockets. They put all their eggs in one unprofitable Mayweather basket. They failed. Oscar don't have choice but to fix the mess they created.

naive and jealous..he is upset floyd has surpassed him in earnings..floyd in 7 years made more money than oscar made in his entire career.

oscar is currently making more money than floyd, hell he even makes money out of floyd... GBP > TMT...

You honestly believe the guy that in a span of 13 months has had 3 PPVs total almost 4 million sold and probably close to 400 million dollars generated is a bad investment and not turning a profit. You need to get with reality
