Comments Thread For: Richard Schaefer Officially Departs From Golden Boy

[Beercules]

Al Haymon And Schaefer might start their own promotional company and they would probably be more successful.

They can't Richard had a non compete clause and Haymon isnt a promoter

how so? the only way this could be good is if shacefer is the odd man out and haymon is allowed back on hbo

Dude Floyd aint the only boxer and not everything has to be to revolve around him. The fact that Floyd "hates" all these people sounds like a personal issue with Floyd that he needs to work on. BTW when is floyd involved in the "best" fights? Maybe the biggest but definately not the best.

Really? I did not know this.

Someone clear this up for me, as an adviser, what exactly is Al Haymon allowed to do with the fighters he has signed from GoldenBoy?

He can't promote them due to the Muhammad Ali Boxing Reform Act. What exactly can Haymon do with these guys if they're under a promotional contract with GoldenBoy.

Don't they clearly violate it? Wasn't Richard only promoting Haymond boxers according to the Main Events suit?

I dont know. No one in this site really knows.

I do know that a third company is bad for boxing.

Good riddance. Dude became worse than Arum.

I love how some posters here act like showtime is a network with endless money that's gonna continue to piss there money away to al and floyd. Hbo is the safe side to be on. I would suggest Haymon get himself a reality check and make amends with hbo. The days of berto banking big $ for garbage fights are coming to and end.

I don't think this is about Top Rank to be honest.

Like i said, it's about Oscar's emotions and pride, he felt he was no longer the top dawg at his own company.

Let's see what he can do now..

So who is getting to promote? Ellerbe? Wtf is Ellerbe? And who the fcuk is Haymon? Its a Floyd issue because Floyd tells Lenny what to do

There is no indication of a non compete clause. Not sure it would even apply in this instance. I'm sure Schaefer is free to do as he pleases. But I honestly think he's done with boxing.

That's my point.

You can't create a "league" unless boxers make peanuts like UFC. And they don't and won't.

Showtime s financial results are the bottom line.
