Comments Thread For: Richard Schaefer Officially Departs From Golden Boy

[I Love Jesus!]

I smell something big brewing, and the anti floyd/showtime/haymon/schaeffer club is about to get real upset lmfao. Richard left for a reason and I think those guys are cooking up some diabolical shit lol.

the only thing you smell is Floyds butt you fanboy, Floyd don't even belong on that list.

Richard's "fight" vs Arum should not stop good & great match ups of Top Rand & Golden Boy fighters. Good move Richard!

Yeah this won't be good for boxing for a couple of years. A lot of fighters may end up being shelved for a while.

I think what happens with Floyd's fight in September will say a lot.

what happens next time Oscar goes to rehab?

Victor Ortiz takes over.

Whatever Haymon does will not be on HBO = not big brew for building fighters.

There's no such thing as anti floyd/showtime/...., doe. Fans are simply anti ducking, anti excuses, anti overprotectionism, anti recycling of Judah and Malignaggi, fighters with names not fighting each other, Broner and others getting huge purse fighting nobodies. If Schaefer and Haymon do whatever is best for boxing, fans will support them.

Two things that as a boxing fan I don't understand:

1. Why do you care how much bank is in your fighter's pocket? Do you get a cut?

2. NO ONE AT TMT HAS A PROMOTER'S LICENSE. Look I'm going to type this up in capitals again. NO ONE.

Even if they did, and let's say for arguments sake that they use 50's SMS promotions, who do you think that is going to front the following;

1. The cost of the venue
2. Production
3. Mayweather's Purse
4. Undercard purse

So let's say, $100-$300 Mil. By everyone's estimates, Floyd is an investment in where SHO is losing money in his fights and gaining it elsewhere. So, do Ellerbe, Mayweather and 50(Haymon can't, because of the Ali act), invest that much in themselves in the hopes of getting money in return from SHO and sponsors? I don't think so.

In closing,
Thanks Oscar. May GBP prosper for getting rid of that snake

Bradley gets $6 million from Top Rank, plus PPV upside against Pacquiao. Maidana gets $1.5 million and the glove treatment from Haymon and GBP, plus little or no PPV upside against Mayweather (due to underwhelming sales). Keep laughing at Maidana for choosing the latter.

Floyd vs. Maidana PPV sales were higher than Bradley vs. Pacquiao 2. Bradley got 6, while was the undefeated champ. Not bad, but he could do better. Now he won't see 6 again.

What are you talking about? we've gotten some great fights. Canelo/Trout, Canelo/Mayweather Jr, Garcia/Matthysse, Broner/Maidana, Canelo/Lara etc etc

Yes there is an anti Mayweather/Richard/Showtime/AlHaymon clan, people don't like them because they been winning just a little too much.
