    I'll offer you $50K to fight me. You must be available whenever I want the fight to happen in the next three months. If the fight doesn't happen, no harm, no foul, we go our own ways. OK?

    Sounds reasonable right?

    Well, you have to quit your job to full fill your end. If I don't show, you get nothing. Is that a contract YOU would sign? Maybe bball doesn't have a job and it seems fair to him? Maybe he'll get $50K or maybe he won't but he doesn't give up anything.

    Even Rachel Donaire sounds rational compared to Schaefer. Donaire got to be fighter of the year by taking 4 fights this year. Keeping him out of the ring for 9 months with no promise of compensation is as stupid as it gets.

    There was nothing wrong with Arums offer to Floyd to face Margarito, yet you defend the duck, here there are holes in the damn contract and your looking past them and labeling donaire as a ducker.
    the man has put out for the sport in the last year, he has done exactly what you would expect out of a champion and your going to just **** on him because you like Mares?

    I don't know the guy. I don't know he is a manager. He certainly isn't a lawyer but it sure looks to me like he agreed with what I was saying. No?

    Just the first few words? Here I was going to give him props for owning up.

    ****, other than the writing style that could be my alt account. :D

    because I got an actual liscened boxing manager to look at it
    I'll ask him specifically about that. That could be routine not to put the fight date in a contract like this when you haven't check with Donaire first to see when he wants to fight.

    Why you trying to change the subject to Floyd? And the problem with Arum's offer for Margo is he got a better one to face Baldomir

    Yes it seems he agrees with you that GBP was just trying to hype up the media. But at the same time, he didn't say there was anything specifically wrong with the contract, but I'll keep asking him for his input

    I did read it. Did you want me to not post it if he didn't side with me? I can be impartial

    Who is this "Boxing Manager" that you are showing this contract to, I am pretty sure he is low level un heard of meaning he is not experienced

    Props for posting it. You obviously didn't have to.:thumbsup

    At this point the specifics don't matter all that much. Like he said, 13 pages of legal bs to confuse and make it look legit is what it comes down too.
