Schaefer says the low buyrate, for Pacquiao-Rios, is a reflection of the many fans who complained about the lackluster undercard.
He talks about the production, how Top Rank's production is so great and better than HBO's production or anybody else. What is he talking about? Does he think people are going to watch the show because of the great lights? He should be better off on spending money on making the fights better. People wants to spend their money to watch good fights, not better lighting, Schaefer said.
I haven't met anyone who said 'oh, you have to watch the pay-per-view because Top Rank's lighting, it's f***ing unbelievable. He should let HBO do the production, they do a perfectly fine job. And then he can spend the money he can save on making better fights. That's what I would do.
"Mayweather has made it clear to Golden Boy, according to Schaefer, that he doesn't have any intention of dealing with Arum or anyone else at Top Rank."
But Arum needs to call them??
Manny knows, Arum is worried Manny would jump ship before he could eat off that Mayweather money......All facts too...the genius is letting Pac know on the low he don't need Arum
Yes Arum needs to call them, for the many reasons Richard stated. Just because Mayweather won't deal with them, that doesn't mean GB won't. They're just not going to bow down to Arum. Why should they? He's already setting dates for Manny to fight in April, that shows you that he feels he's in charge. What's the point of going to the media to call negotiations? Pick up use phone and send a message.Richard laid it all out and you still can't see it? Each side had reasons in the past, but what now? You can see Arum is the problem. If Manny wasn't under Arum, the fight would've been made because Manny wouldve done what was needed to make it happen.
