Where are all the Oscar and Arum defenders? They hated 'ole Schaefer so much but I can't figure out why?

No announcement yet.
Why have we yet to see a Golden Boy-Top Rank co-promoted fight yet?

Schaefer and Haymon was never responsible for the "COLD WAR" Arum GREED was and still is the man responsible for the COLD WAR because Arum makes more money ON HIS OWN instead of having to open his books and share things with another promotion like GBP
He don't "NEED" Oscar for anything right now to be honest, Chavez Jr vs Cotto is just as big if not BIGGER than Cotto vs Canelo

These things take time, it has barely been a month or two since Richard Schaefer left GBP, they still have a lot of in house cleaning to get done. If I'm not mistaken there is a legal case between the two parties and then there are further problems with certain fighters have promotional contracts with GBP yet managerial contracts with the elusive Al Haymon, even if Bob Arum and his company are willing to work with GBP, would they be willing to put money into the pocket of Haymon? Many of these men find it difficult to bury the hatchet.
So all in all, there is a lot rubbish that needs cleaning over at GBP and Showtime Network. But the fights will happen, there may even be some big promotions over the course of the next 12 months, so we just need to be patient. There was a time when there was a far bigger feud between Arum and Don King, yet the two managed to work together several times in their careers, of course that requires the fighters to want to fight one another too.

Don't wait for any Haymon fighter to fight TR opponents. ODLH wanted to put an end of this **** but Haymon/Schaefer are kepping it alive and they enjoy it. They are literally the worst things for boxing.
Haymon maybe good for his fighters but just in short terms. I mean they get money but they don't make history if they want to push down our throat fights like Danny Garcia - Rod Salka. They literally **** on the fans, and most of the Haymon fighter thinks that's okay because at the end of the day they'll get their money from Haymon and they almost always act like fucking lambs who can't talk with Haymon about their next opponenet, but they have to let Haymon decide it alone... The fighters who contract to Haymon day-by-day really don't see this? They just see the money and that's all? It's a little sad... That mentality is kill this sport. I hope Haymon will retire soon but I guess he won't.
But I can see that the GBP fighters who aren't with Haymon, like Canelo or Mares will fight TR opponents if there are senseful opponents from TR in their weight classes. For example I can imagine a Mares-Walters, Mares-Loma, Mares-Gradovich or Mares-Nonito fight. I don't know if Andradeis with TR or not but I can see a Canelo-Andrade fight too.Last edited by HEND; 08-01-2014, 05:16 AM.

Arum and Haymon still seem unwilling to work with one another which means it'll be more in-house fights for a while yet. Oscar is happy to work with anyone he can because his options are limited, but as he has less power and influence than Arum and Haymon it might not really matter, at least in the short-term.
Arum is happy with stuff like Pac-Algieri, Haymon is happy with fights like Garcia-Salka. I think it's possible we see GBP-TR work together for something like Cotto-Canelo but it's more important to GBP to have a good relationship with Haymon than Arum at this point.
