I had reason to be worried, never once one my peoples call me for some, but it was a Friday and I didnt get none that day cause of work, fast forward til around 8 at night, I get a call it's one of my lower ranking homies the last resort type nikka, anyway he offers to meet me, I was like ok but I'm in Charlotte which was a hour and 30 from Greensboro and he still offered to drive over 80$ worth of tree, so my spider senses was tingling, but needing tree I buckled, so I told him give me a hour or 2.....I let him know I'm back in town he meets me around the corner from my crib...when we meet he is asking questions like what you doing around here and where you be at, well the questions was strike 2/3 for me, so I tell him I'm a little bit of everywhere, but strung him along like I wanted to do business with him, saying I'm a get a whole lot and introduce you to my peoples next time, just in case if the cops was there, that they would wait til next time to pop me instead of then, I had it in my mind I wasn't messing with buddy no more though.... I leave let him go first, go the complete opposite direction, criss cross'n and made sure no one was following me so I know I wasn't tailed.....Im a night owl so I'll be u roaming so like 3 hours later it's 2 black cars in my driveway blocking the entrance, then one left while the other stayed like 10 mins then left......

I had a right to be paranoid........Around the time cars was in my yard the neighbors was arguing though, but I'm a better safe then sorry type nikka, I cut my circle down to 2 after that, threw away all my stuff, and quit 3 weeks strong, it actually felt good to smoking but i digress....:manny:



SN: Funny Im talking about this because Saturday I passed by a store where buddy used to constantly ask me to meet up at (which i never did) and seen cops shaking down 2 dudes, so maybe my intuition was right with him....I aint trying to find out though........

:heh:


Maybe he needs to get in the business of believing that much more than 10% of the boxing fans wants to see good undercards:sas1:




I know I didnt buy it, because I didnt like the undercard....just like Cotto/Martinez:sas2:

So I finally came across Schaefer's quotes in the LA Times about Bob Arum. And I always read on here @Black_Jesus and @krackdagawd asking why now Arum is such a problem that he's holding up the Floyd/Manny fight. Well the bolded is basically the reason why

"I've given Bob several opportunities, and a leopard never changes his spots. With Oscar, it's sort of like, one day he hates him, the next day he loves him, the next day he rips him, then he loves him again.

"That's OK, they can play those games. But what I'm doing, I'm running Golden Boy, and I think I'm doing a pretty good job, having built it into the leading boxing promotion company in the world. Last year was an all-time record year, and it did not involve Bob Arum or HBO. I'm proud of what I'm doing and I want to continue doing it."
That basically sums it up right there. From a business standpoint, it just doesn't make any sense. Floyd and GB are thriving right now, while Arum and Manny are struggling. They would just be losing money involving Arum. If you're Floyd and Schaefer, why would you put money into the pockets of somebody you don't like, when you can easily just cut him out of the whole thing and promote the fight yourself (keeping all the money in house).

I still think it's all bullshyt at the end of the day, but it is what it is :manny:

I've read this quote and you're right, it is bullshyt and its just a spit in the face to all boxing fans and it shows that he is the main problem.. Not Bob.. He's not hurting Bob by refusing to come to the table, he's hurting the potential of what boxing could be right now. Boxing is bigger than him and his personal beef with Bob.. Schaefer fukked a lot of shyt up by fukking up the relationship between GB and HBO.. all in the name of his personal quest to shyt on TR
