Gary Shaw to Schaefer: Stop pushing your no names on my star fighters

"I read Schaefer's article with great interest because he's trying to push a guy with nine fights, that nobody knows, even if you put him on Hollywood and Vine, or on Broadway and 42nd street. Even the hardcore fighters wouldn't recognize him. Push him against a guy like Alfredo Angulo, who is known and been on TV several times. So I suggest to Richard to spend more time putting together the fights that people actually want to see, like Timothy Bradley vs. Amir Khan, like Timothy Bradley vs. Marcos Maidana, like Timothy Bradley vs. Victor Ortiz,"

"Instead of hiding those fighters, and calling out Angulo, I suggest he spend more time putting on fights that the fans wants to see, and stop hiding the fighters people know or only putting them against other Golden Boy fighters. Come on Richard, take your fighters out to fight other fighters [not with Golden Boy]. He's only trying to give me the guys that nobody knows, instead of the guys that everybody knows."

"I give credit to Bob Arum. He called immediately after the [DeMarco] fight was over and said 'let's do Valero vs. Bradley.' That's what promoters do. My guy [Alfredo Angulo] is already fighting, but the following guys are available, Cory Spinks, Sergiy Dzinziruk, Kermit Cintron, Paul Williams, Vanes Martirosyan and Verno Phillips. All of these fighters, as of this date, have no signed contracts to fight. If you [Schaefer] need any other help in matchmaking, feel free to call me or call me at home in the evening."

 

Fair comments from Shaw

 

:happy:bbb

 

I like Shaw! Don't know the man personally but he does seem to care more about the boxing scene than those tools over at GBP and he is less BS than Bob. He has a quality stable of fighters (Vic D, Desert Storm, El Perro, Bad Chad, Rafa etc) and is willing to put them in tough fights! I am not suprised he is the promotor of 3 of the top 10 fights of the last decade (Diego v Castillo, Izzy v rafa 11 and 111). If every promotor had his balls we would see a shitload more awesome fights!

 

who is the guy with 9 fights

 

Cue the Arum haters.... in 5 4 3 2 ....

 

so is valero fighting bradley?!?!

 

Shaw owned Schaefer and GBP. Shaw now has more stock shares of GBP than Oscar.

 

Lara

 

Anyone who owns shares of GBP is a legend. wish i could ****ing buy some.

 

I don't want to be mean but Angulo is pretty much a nobody as well.

Nobody outside hardcore boxing fans knows who the hell Angulo is.

This goes for pretty much every fighter in boxing except for superstars.

Angula isn't one of them.

 

Erislandy Lara

He is more of a name than Lara. He's acutally fought on HBO numerous times. Lara is still fighting on undercards of ESPN cards. A guy in Angulo's position shouldn't be taking a step backwards by fighting prospects.

 

wow, so Arum was serious about Valero-Bradley. Good fight.
