According to BoxRec(varying amounts of credit given to their ratings here, so whatever), Haymon has relationships with 30 of BoxRec's top 100 fighters, today.
In two years, most of Haymon's prospects should be able to pick up 10 fights. Let's see what things look like then.

The point that people seem to miss is that the need for a public face only really becomes critical once Phase II of the PBC effort kicks in, namely the consolidation of the product.
Come 2017, a network will end up paying for the entire PBC portfolio (NBC/NBCSN, Showtime/CBS/CBSSports, Fox/FS1, or ABC/ESPN/ESPN2); SpikeTV will likely end up paying out money for their monthlyboxing installment of their 'Friday Night Lights Out' combat sports series, ESPN will likely pay out money for their monthly 'Saturday Night Fights', and BounceTV will also likely end up paying something out if they decide to keep boxing among their content.
When it comes to coordinating all of the press availabilities, marketing fights across the TV properties, etc, there would need to be one voice that stands as "the authority of the PBC"; no different than the commissioner of the NFL/NBA/MLB.
Enter Richard Schaefer.
PBC promoters (DiBella, Michel, Marguiles, Mayweather, Brown, Leija-Battah,etc) still promote the shows, the managers still work to secure the deals for the fighters, and Schaefer can help smooth out the occasional hiccup (Scahefer's relationship with the folks at AEG would likely help make it easier for DiBella/Brown/Marguilles/etc to promote fights at AEG venues) while maintaining a positive press presence for the outfit.
So hiring Schaefer to be the Commissioner of the PBC when we don't even know if this will be around this time 2 years from now for "phase 2" is pretty foolish.Last edited by bigdunny1; 11-18-2015, 04:50 PM.

He needed him years ago to pry away Golden Boy signed fighters. But why does Haymon need Schaefer now?

What title or capacity that person actually takes idk tbqh, but their needs to be someone high up with this PBC entity who's not a hermit & can speak on PBC **** imo.
Maybe I'm wrong or maybe thats something thats way down the line when/if there is a PBC belt or w/e, but I think its something thats needed & would be welcomed by boxing media & fans alike just so PBC's moves don't seem as under the cover of darkness or random like they often do now.
I wanna hear a guy whos with PBC & who says Keith Thurman vs Shawn Porter will be happening when weird media rumors pop off for days about a fight like that. Like when Khan said Manny was fighting him or w/e & Bob came out & shut that **** down the next day. PBC needs that. Maybe they just need to teach Haymon how to use twitter idk, but I think they want a president, CEO, head mfer of public discourse or something of PBC. If thats Schaefer or not idk, but its clearly a job no one is doing & seems a worthwhile propaganda arm for PBC if nothing else.

Originally posted by Ryn0 View PostI honestly didn't think about that, HBO have the 10 best P4P fighters apart from Rigo and Rigo is fighting on the Cotto-Canelo undercard.
That is mad, I think Haymon is doing interesting things but odd how he hasn't managed to (since Floyd retired) nick one of those fighters.
Andre Ward will likely stand as the sport's best fighter [HBO only locking Ward up long enough to fight Sergey Kovalev, to me, is a Jay-Z&J-Prince/Haymon/Espinoza sitdown away from being a major mistake], and Roman Gonzalez will likely also be high on that list; under that, Thurman/Porter/Garcia/Brook/Khan/Spence/etc will all be battling for recognition, Degale/Jack/Abraham/Chudinov/Murray/ChavezJr will be battling likewise, the young lions at 154 (Andrade/Charlo/Charlo/JRock/Trout/etc) will be battling, the UK will play home to the Frampton/Quigg/McDonnell battle at 122, Selby/LSC/RusselJr/Cuellar will likely mix things up at 126, and a host of top prospects from those 2012 Olympics (Spence Jr, Luke Campbell, etc) will dare to be great.
Come 2017 (by the sheer volume of talent that Haymon is coming to the table with), HBO dominating the p4p list is unlikely to still be the case.
