Richard Schaefer plans to return to boxing this summer, likely as a promoter

[////]

schafer was probably running mayweather promotions "unofficially" this whole time while the goldenboy lawsuits blew over

WTF? Floyd, Oscar and JCC Jr all bought their way out of a TR contract.

Right, and it cost them something to do that. They didn't just walk out the door like most of Haymon's guys.

Haymon had to buy his fighters way out of their GBP contracts.

Yes, there were a few guys that Haymon had to buy out of a contract but the rest of them were free agents.

My point was that you will rarely see TR working with fighters who aren't signed to them, despite the fact that Arum has to deal with managers too just like GBP.

The investors in GBP also left when Schaefer left. Nobody wanted to deal with Oscar. These people are not going to put their millions at risk in the hands of a guy like Oscar. Would you work for a crackhead? I'm sure you wouldn't so why do you expect other people to?

Schaefer is the one who cultivated the relationship with AEG so when he left they did too. Just goes to show that he was hooking things up more for himself than for Golden Boy as an entity. If he had been looking out for their best interests the investors would have been tied to GBP independent of him.

I don't dispute that De La Hoya was a druggie, though. Not a good look for him or for his company.

He cultivated the relationship with the fighters too!!!! Oscar was absentee. Did you read the interview I posted with Hopkins? No manager manager would ever expose their clients to an owner like Oscar. As long as Oscar had majority ownership no fighters should've been signed to him without a buy out clause. That's basic business common sense and normal practice.

stay off boxing, richard!

That's not normal practice at all. You won't find any other promotional companies that have almost their entire roster unsigned to exclusive contracts.

I just hope Floyd keeps his guard up with Schaefer. I would hate to see something like this happen to him too.

I've been reading Floyd like he wants something big to prove. This time as a promoter. I'm also seeing Schaefer playing a big role in it. Whether it's short term or long term, fans would certainly benefit from seeing something out of it.

I'd keep Ellerbe with him all day. Have Ellerbe count the office supplies to make sure Slick Ricky ain't stealing pens & **** too.

I said as long as OSCAR is majority owner that's normal business practice. And the majority of his roster weren't unsigned. He kept the majority of his rosters. Those signed with Haymon who wanted to leave left. Those signed with Haymon who wanted to stay, stay. That's why Matthysse stayed and cut ties with Haymon. Just like Andre Dirrell left Haymon for 50 cent. Stop believing all the lies.

Was only a matter of time. People should have predicted this when Shaeffer first left GB


It'll be good to see him back.

It was heavily predicted on here by many posters, the day GBP crumbled.

And I showed you how Hopkins, Cotto, and Mosley were on fight by fight basis with GBP. None of them were signed with Haymon. GBP has done fight by fight basis with plenty of fighters.
