Comments Thread For: Hopkins on His Golden Boy Status, Schaefer's Departure

[deemo]

Richard Schaefer is a piece of ****, there is no doubt in my mind that him, al haymon, Floyd and Bhop has had this all planned out while Oscar has been in rehab. There is noway that Robert as CEO of the company had so many of these fighters fighting without contracts unless he knew that he was starting a deal with haymon and mayweather. Now the only fighter Oscar has of any significance is Canelo.

[Nay_Sayer]

While I don't think Golden Boy will be much without Schaefer, I think no fights being scheduled in July may have more to do with the world cup than anything else. I wouldn't want to compete with that.

No, the quote was no fights scheduled "beyond July". Big difference and VERY telling...

I Dont Care what people think. This is change and we all agreed that we needed change at least its a step .....forward or backward plus with Canelo on gpb. It'll be just fine when everyone wants a shot at him.

Basically, Oscar is ******. Oscar was not "the man." It is clear that Schaefer was running ****! What B-Hop, Floyd, and Cotto have shown is that you work hard, WIN, and learn the business. Ali, Tyson, Frazier, and even Joe Louis were robbed by greedy men, and they lost a ton of money. Why? Because they thought someone else had their best interest at heart. Boxers need to know what's in the books. Oscar has lost his mind, if he thinks Arum won't rob him again!

I like the fact that Oscar is trying to end the cold war and reached out to Arum but I don't think this relationship is going to last long. They may be friends today. Ask me again tomorrow.

It sounds good in headlines "Oscar Trying to End Cold War." But its not really his place to do that. It essentially like a meddling owner in the major sports. Just because you own the company doesn't mean you know how or have the right to meddle in the business aspects. Especially if you're not directly involved daily.

Oscar already said if I found one Shaffer. I could do it again. Sometimes doing the right thing comes with bad consequences (business ruins relationships, who knew?). I think it was for the best n Shaffer n his ego didn't want to be to be shown up so he made his splash n I think he's done out flying back to sweeden. N Exactly who does haymond have last time i checked mayweayer the only p4p star. He advises not promotes

Bu-bu-bu-but Schaefer left because Oscar wanted to end the "Cold War" and he wants to keep protecting Floyd from Manny

Did anyone actually said this things?

[-PBP-]

Funny. Seems like everybody in GBP was happy but the fans weren't.

[megadeth]

Arum will be loving this. Things looked bad for TR but now they look a whole lot worse for GBP.

This exactly! It was looking bad for Satan recently, now Oscar seems to have given TR a huge reprieve. Arum will use this and if he isn't careful Oscar/GBP will be lured in and eaten like a Black Widows prey.
