    That's what a CEO's job IS, you dummy. That's why Oscar hired him: To run the business, not set it up to sweep it out from under his feet.

    In the world of Business Schaefer wouldn't be anyone in the boxing industry without the "Golden One", where as Oscar can simply replace his CEO with another high profile CEO.

    how does oscar have a leg to stand on here if his case is based on schaefer not signing all of haymons fighters to contracts?

    eric gomez just came out and said theyll continue to work with haymon in the same fashion...and that he sees no danger in the arrangement....that he trusts al and als word is considering as good as a binding contract....

    if this is what oscars complaining about....how does he have a leg to stand on?

    I think free agent status works when you have a "name" like Cotto, Mayweather, Pacquiao, ODLH... Not too many fighters will get far as a free agent.

    Why would GBP, TR, Duva, Maun events invest loads of money in branding a fighter when he has no obligation to stay loyal to the promotioanl company branding the fighter.

    Not all fighters are Golden like Oscar, and Lomanchenko who come into the game with a nice size following.

    In the end I see the lesser known fighters to the mainstream fans getting screwed if they stay without a promotional machine promoting their NAME.

    eric gomez straight up said he theyll continue to work with haymon guys in the same fashion they have been....he sees no danger in the arrangement....because als word is bond to him......thats the same way schaefer operated.....gomez said they have al guys not under contract that have been with him since the start of their pro careers........als guys were never going to leave the gb banner

    and its not a bad thing for gb...if a guy like broner werent under contract and he got whooped again or ko'd....they wouldnt be forced to cram him down our throats.....they have much more ability to maneuver without having to force guys on us that we dont wanna see anymore.....

    if gb works with a haymon fighter and they build him up...they are going to stay loyal....gomez said he considers als word as binding as a contract....al dont play games or **** around with his guys.....and if one of his fighters becomes irrelevant...gb isnt obligated to push him

    Schaeffer did not act in GBP's best interest.

    Every promoter tries to sign their fighters to long term contracts.

    Its where you use the widest, largest, thickest and biggest dildo possible to stick in your ass for the sole purpose of spreading your anus in to the biggest hole/gap possible, hence "gaping."

    LOL keep telling yourself that. The card with Garcia, Peterson and Jacobs all fighting TBAs on Showtime is one of the worst in recent memory.

    This obviously makes no sense. Isn't Mayweather Alvarez the #2 best selling PPV in history? Wasn't that fight a Golden Boy promotion? Wasn't Schaefer the CEO? Isn't Floyd Mayweather the biggest PPV attraction in boxing? Hasn't Golden Boy promoted his last 7-8 fights? Didn't Schaefer maintain a good working relationship with Mayweather who fought Golden Boy fighters exclusively?

    The notion that Schaefer didn't act in Golden Boy's best interest is ridiculous...

    All promoters play the same game but in their own ways. Only idiots don't see it.

    Now that's one stupid statement. Wasn't he bringing the best cards/events under the Golden Boy banner?

    Schaefer was nothing and a nobody before he met Oscar. Oscar is the moneyman, he is already 100+ million net worth before Schaefer came along.
