Comments Thread For: Richard Schaefer Officially Departs From Golden Boy

32 million minimum for Floyd, higher sales nullified. 1.5 million purse for Maidana is just sad. Bradley wasn't forced to use pillow puff gloves either.

Bradley already is a pillow puncher. And figures this thread would turn into Floyd pac

In the last four or five years, Schaefer really turned into a snake in the grass. Good riddance.

Yes, exactly this.

He turned into a mobster look in his final phase in Gbp. He really looks shady.

I hope Oscar hires someone who can work with Arum.
I really don't want to see Pac-JMM 5.

Don't really see immediate good coming from this...don't really know why people are celebrating. Schaefer set up some memorable cards. If Shaeffer is bad, well then so is Arum. That guy is fleecing PAC and yet Pac's fans still support him. Unbelievable really. The nature of the boxing business necessitates some sleeze, but overall Shaefer held his own in a cutthroat business.

Schaefer had basically exclusivisity to Haymon's growing stable of fighters..now everything is in limbo. It's just as likely to breed THREE power brokers in Boxing instead of spurring this unification everyone is dreaming of.

More division is what I see on the horizon. Not more unity.

Put another way, Schaefer led to Haymon's growing stable of fighters.

There's a reason you said "Haymon's growing stable of fighters" and not "Golden Boy Promotions growing stable"

Maybe 2 hrs before Schaefer handed Oscar his resignation, Oscar told me he was trying to work things out with him. So much for that. #boxing

. Itll be interesting how things play out. but I think Oscar made a mistake he let his feminine feeling get in the way of what was best for him and his company.

Just watch,Oscar will become more irrelevant as time passes by, And will Run back to his Daddy Arum.

Wow, I'm surprised that Schaefer was willing to jettison his relationship with DLH. Seems like they've been tied at the hips forever.

I'm definitely interested in seeing how Schaefer, Haymon, and Floyd's future promotional company turns out.

this is the best news ever, i just came in my pants.

good luck to you schaefer, but good f/cking riddance, this is awesome for boxing.

[The Problem Child]

Good to see this pig get forced to step down. WAR OSCAR!!!!!!

[mrpizza-nd_beer]

And don't come back you bastard!

I wonder if Floyd breaks away from Oscar. Who's he going to fight then if he won't fight GB fighters too? LOL fun times.
