Comments Thread For: Mayweather Wants To Work With Richard Schaefer Again

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Working with Richard Schaefer is among the things in boxing Floyd Mayweather Jr. wants to do during 2016.

Mayweather expressed his desire to reunite with the former Golden Boy Promotions CEO in an interview with FightHype.com's Ben Thompson, which was posted Thursday. Mayweather, the retired superstar who owns a self-named promotional company, and Schaefer developed a close relationship during the time when Golden Boy served as the primary promoter for numerous Mayweather fights after he parted ways with Bob Arum’s Top Rank Inc.

Shafer is part of the problem whats next Cold war with Arum and Goldenboy. Boxing is beginning to $uck . All you have is people ducking each other, Joke fights being mad by Haymon

Think of all the boxers who had promotional companies. Most failed miserably. Big time stars like Roy Jones and Holyfield. The ones that were successful had an actual businessman running them like Schaefer and Loeffler. The company can be successful as long as the fighter is still fighting under the banner but when he retires he needs a real businessman running it.

I don't care how much people hate on Schaefer eveybody knows he was the one who made GBP what it is today. That's why when he left all the investors left. Nobody wants to have their money tied up in a business run by an unstable dope fiend. I guarantee if ya'll found out the bank manager where you bank was a dope fiend you would pull your money out too. Now that Oscar has relapsed we'll see if Gomez and Hopkins are able to do what Schaefer did.

Golden Boy won promoter of the year 2 years in a row since that snake Schaefer got booted out. He was overated and the success golden boy has had without him proves it.

How many TR vs GB fights have you seen since "the cold war" ended? lol. Bob Arum tricked Oscar "out of his position". Arum/HBO would rather throw their money behind seeing Bradley-Rios "instead of" Bradley-Ali, yet you want to cry about Haymon's matchups?

What a dumb ass statement that is, anyone can keep something going after it's been built and established for years by someone else. Oscar is the face of the company and that's about it so don't think Oscar is running the company now, he has smart people running what Schafer built. Still just the face.

What success are you talking about?

Canelo vs cotto is the only important fight Oscar has put on since Schaefer left, and oscar wasn't even the lead promoter of that fight.

Gbp had the best run of its existence during the years Schaefer was running the show.

their is no denying that.

Floyd vs canelo
Danny vs lucas
Broner vs Maidana

And every other good fight that we remember from gbp came under Schaefer's watch.

even the showtime quadruple headers that felt like ppv shows, all gone after Schaefer left.

Oscar is back with hbo, but he has no way of making fights without arum. And that's exactly what Schaefer didn't want.

Schaefer vs arum was the real cold war, but I would take 2013 cold war any day over what we have right now.

When his time to not promote expires he will be sought after. Main Events should try to get him or the Russian guys.

He was a big part in engineering one of the best years in boxing in 2013.

Rarely do fans in boxing these days get 3 IMO big fights in 1 year.

Mayweather vs Canelo = Masterclass performance by the virtuoso Floyd

Garcia vs Matthysse= competitive fight between the 2 best jr welter's in the world

Broner vs Maidana= A hilariously entertaining beat down from one of boxings most dangerous fighters vs proclaimed heir to the legendary Floyd Mayweather Jr.

GB was built because of Oscars fame not Schsefer. The early years they got huge HBO dates for all their fighters because Oscar was the biggest fighter in the game and HBO wanted to keep Oscar on their station. That had nothing to do with schaefer. The fighters who over night signed to his company did so to be aligned with Oscar not because of schaefer. Hopkins, mosley, Barrera etc had no clue or cared who schaefer was at that time. Oscar could of hired anyone and it would still of been successful. At that time anything oscar touched turned gold. Dont believe me dude put out a album and it got nominated for a grammy. And everyone knows this fool cant sing!

Golden boy early success had nothing to do with schaefer and after firing him mid last year all he's done without him is win promoter of the year twice while idiots said they would fold without schaefer. Dude has always been over rated. And of course oscar has other people running his company which can be done with or without schaefer which is my point.
