Comments Thread For: Richard Schaefer is "Getting The Itch" To Come Back

[chavmex]

He itch to get back into boxing? What the **** is he a boxer? Who cares about this fkn guy?

Schaefer is obsolete now.

Unless Haymon owes Schaefer blood money for helping him steal away Oscar's fighters why does Haymon need him? And no fighters are singing Schaefer's praise other then Mayweather. So his options are work for Mayweather Promotions or work for Haymon. He needed him years ago to pry away Golden Boy signed fighters. But why does Haymon need Schaefer now?

Cant really see him make a difference. After taking all of Oscar's stable I don't think he really has much left to do for haymon.

You must be sucking his dlck or something. Never seen someone so protective over Schaefer. Do you call him Richie-poo in person?

Only faags talk like this ^^^ you don't have nothing to say so you say what you know the best and that's being Gaay. Weirdo

Would love to see him replace Hershman as head of HBO Sports.

Floyd has a nice stable of fighters but he needs Schaefer to properly promote the fights. Ellerbe isn't a businessman. He's a former lackey that got where he's at by being loyal to Floyd and giving the best chest rubs in the business.

Roc Nation could use him. Itskowitch has over-paid for Cotto, Rigo, and Ward. Ward/Rigo may be 1 or 2 p4p but they have no drawing power. Ward does good at home I will give him that. But Rigo will always have to go to his challengers venue because he can't draw.

I don't care what people think about Schaefer and Oscar, they don't know the whole story. All I know is that Schaefer built Golden Boy from the ground up into the #1 Promoter in the business. He got that output deal with HBO and Showtime. Exclusive deal with Barclay's. Investment from BIG and AEG which owns venues such as stub hub and O2 arena in London. Anybody will be better off with Schaefer

And all the investors left when Schaefer left. The one thing that hurt Golden Boy more than Haymon buying out his fighters is the brain trust that left with Schaefer. Now you have Hopkins and De La Hoya running the business. Great boxers but neither has a proven track record in business.

Schaefer's next gig will be working with Mayweather or working with Haymon. Why would HBO hire him? They had a great year and have 9 of the 10 top 10 P4P fighters all locked up and now the only fighter they don't have signed Rigo is fighting on HBO this weekend and more then likely Roc Nation that has a relationship with HBO will get him a deal with HBO next. Remember why HBO cut ties with Schaefer and Haymon in the first place. People keep saying it was just Haymon but it was Golden Boy too because of Schaefer. Once Schaefer was forced out and Oscar was in control HBO welcomed Golden Boy back. So it makes no sense to put that snake who was one of the main guys responsible for the rift in charge.

Why would Roc Nation hire Schaefer when Haymon has beef with Jay-Z and refuses to work with him? No shot Schaefer out of loyalty to Haymon goes to Roc Nation. Haymon has fighters vacating belts and turning down career paydays just to avoid allowing them to fight on a Roc Nation card.

Golden Boy's early success had nothing to do with Schaefer. It was Oscar's name and power in the sport at the time that made them a success overnight. The early superstar fighters signed because of Oscar the early HBO tv deals were because of HBO wanting to keep Oscar so they gave his company a huge platform early on for his fighters. The huge influx of latino fighters that signed to Golden Boy INCLUDING Canelo signed because they were fans of Oscar. You want to give Schaefer credit for the last few years and TV deals and working with Haymon ok. But the early years and how Golden Boy overnight was so successful was because of Oscar's name and involvement. You could of literally had anyone running the company at that time and it was going to be a hit. Fighters like Hopkins, Mosley, Morales, ect all signed because of Oscar not Schaefer.

Schaefer is a dirtbag snake. I always thought when his lawsuit was settled the place that made the most sense was him taking over Mayweather Promotions. But the more that came out and the more I think about it Floyd is better off keeping Elerbe in charge. Sure he's over his head at times but if he's anything he is loyal and will run through a brick wall for Floyd. Rather have a loyal flunkie then a two faced rat like Schaefer. Remember people he only got his job because he was a family friend to De La Hoya. That was his only qualification. He was a banker got into boxing because Oscar thought he could trust him. Oscar could of hired anyone to run his company and picked him because he was a friend. And no doubt he wasn't working in Oscar or his companies best interest. He stabbed Oscar in the back was doing all kinds of shady things with the contracts and steering Golden Boy fighters to sign exclusive deals with Haymon. Once Oscar found out and started asking questions about his fighters contracts and Schaefer couldn't give him a straight answer he was forced out.

So if you Mayweather or anyone else if he's capable of screwing over someone he was supposedly friends with for years prior to working together what is he capable of doing to me?
