    It's gonna be even funnier when Schaefer comes back this summer, joins Mayweather Promotions and turns it into the industry standard with all of Oscar's former fighters. That's gotta eat Oscar up. He already despised Floyd before, I don't know what he's gonna do when Mayweather Promotions is ruling the roost.

    Oscar blew it... literally.
    Oscar was unfortunately dealing with his inner demons, i get it. But that doesnt excuse the fact that his brother in law royally fuc.ked him over. If that was me(Oscar), i wouldve caught another case, but this time, i mos def woulda got rid of the body. FTP Schaefer. I'd beat his as.s just on gp.

    In the end, boxing is at a crossroads. Yes we finally got FMJ/Pac but will it be a great historical fight like most hope it would be? My guess is it might have its moments, but theyll be few and far between(i hope im wrong). The other thing is that we still have a cold war as Haymon isnt going to work with GB/TR. and yes Haymon has a huge stable but will he really be pitting his best against his best? Thats the question all of us want answered....because if he doesnt, then boxing will be ignored more because although itl be on tv more, its not going to garner your casual fans the way it should

      I was thinking the same thing, that Oscar had really screwed himself. And then, I passed by his ski chalet, the home in Big Bear where he stays during training. It was walking distance from the ski slopes and exhibited so much success and wealth that I got so depressed that I couldn't go snowboarding and Turned my car around and drove all the way back to San Diego to talk trash on the internets.

        What ruined him was letting people run his company for him all this time he would been fked harder if he still was out of it. Would have even less fighters.

          How much do you make a year? Matter of fact, how much do you have in your bank account? Stick to selling life insurance, ex-con.

            Oscar made his bed, he made certain choices that caused the situation was in. He didn't have to play it like he did, but he did and it can work out for him.

            He has his company, he has Canelo, he has himself, and he still has a good amount of money with some other stuff. They are not in terrible position at the moment, other than the sourness with Haymon.
