"I don't really have time to read the secondary sites. I know that Floyd Mayweather gave interviews. And I don't want to get involved in a back and forth with Bob Arum," said Schaefer. "I have nothing else to say about it."
Every time I try to stand tall, to defend the Forces Of Evil when I think they might not be wrong, they kick me in the teeth.
That's Golden Boy's Richie Rich Schaefer, on the defensive about L'il Floyd completely dissing some Filipino journalists and refusing to even speak to them at the Thursday Mayweather-Mosley press tour shindig in Los Angeles.
Schaefer, in speaking to Lem Satterfield at AOL Fanhouse, is basically spitting in all our faces and then telling us it is raining.
Let's parse this brusque and supremely arrogant response from Oscar de la Hoya henchman:
1. Schaefer has no time for “secondary sites.” Does that mean Examiner.com and does that mean all the Pinoy sites including that of huge TV network GMA (whose Chino Trinidad was among those brushed off by the petulant Mayweather)? Pray tell what Schaefer has to do that is more important than taking the pulse of the boxing public as reflected on any and all sites? In other words, Richie Rich is too busy to survey what his paying customers are reading and thinking about? Bottom line, he could care less.

2. Imagine if Mayweather and his minions had rejected ALL Mexican journalists: the shock, the horror, the weeping and gnashing of the Goldens. All RRS cares about is his solid information that the mercurial Mayweather granted SOME interviews. Ignoring journalists from the Philippines...well, who cares? RRS is a busy, busy executive who doesn't want to dirty his hands to probe this disturbing incident.
See Dennis Guillermo on Pacman's "that's not nice" reaction and the continuing fallout.
See Paula Duffy's column in which Mayweather flack Kelly Swanson, respected boxing veteran who got her start working with Riddick Bowe and his mercurial promoter Rock Newman, contends that Mayweather refused to discuss Pacquiao or drug testing with ANYBODY Thursday in Los Angeles.
3. RRS doesn't want to play verbal volleyball with Arum on this isssue because he knows Arum is in the right. Not always, but in the right but this time. On this issue, he is absolutely correct. Having just spent five successive days at Manny Pacquiao's Wild Card workouts, I did not see a journalist of any nationality, race, creed or religion (“No Buddhists or Mormons Allowed”), even those miserable wretches from the “secondary sites” were freely admitted and even on days besides the Media/Open Workout designated day. Basically, what I saw at Pacquiao Central was free, untramelled access for ALL boxing journalists. No questions, no subject was deemed taboo.
Em -Man
4. Schaefer dismisses the whole topic as in it's worthy of my important time and energy, he is such a puffed up important guy, you see. So what if a few guys from a Third World nation got no time from Mayweather, who really cares?
Schaefer is right about one thing, now it's time to let this issue go. Someone said the Pinoy journalists were late for the presser and that's why they were brushed pff by Mayweather. He couldn't spare a few minutes for guys who flew all the way from Manila to get to LA?
5 .But you Filipinos, whether you are journalists or just their readers or viewers, are on notice.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. doesn't think you matter. He doesn't think refusing to speak to a respected, fair and balanced guy like Trinidad, someone who has millions upon millions of viewers, is any major deal.
Maybe you should not forget this public slight.
Maybe you can return the favor to him and to Golden Boy.
It might be impertinent of me to ask but when will Oscar The Grouch speak out, give his take on the situation?
My guess would be May, June or July...when Oscar hears about it!
By then, Oscar may have perused even the secondary sites, lol.
For Mayweather, for his hired, Golden hands, this is strictly a secondary issue.
It's not an issue of racism, or of discrimination, it's just thoughtless conduct borne of arrogance.
Second class treatment for second class journalists.
I mean, they're Filipinos, not Americans, right?
How important could they possibly be?

Bob sometimes acts like a businessman but he is human. Bob, just like Michael, maybe a lawyer who knows how to bend a straight line and vice versa, but he is a guy who knows how to reciprocate. He knows how to deal with reporters properly unlike GBP and Floyd. RRS is a man who doesn't have balls and can't even decide on simple matters. RRS is a yes man. He can't even handle Floyd. You can't put RRS infront of Bob to close a deal. What RRS said lately is a big PR blunder of this banker. I don't still understand why we have a banker in boxing. GBP should have hired a lawyer instead. I'd rather hire Mr. Michael Marley to be the front man of GBP than to hire this PR flunker banker. How can you handle a negotiation if you can't even handle your own boxer?
All GBP has to do is to apologize to all the reporters that got offended. Period. Reporters will take all their excuses as long as they apologize. You scratch my back and I will scratch your back in return. You give me one and I might give you two. Never ever say anything offensive against reporters. PR 101. Big mistake. This is an even bigger mistake than hiring a banker as a front man.
Hey Michael, where can I get a complimentary ticket for the March 13 fight? Just asking.
IM EXCITED TO WATCH HOW MOSLEY WILL KNOCKOUT GAY & COWARD MAYWEATHER BUT NOT ON PPV MAYBE IN YOU TUBE MONEY IS WASTED IF YOU WILL BY PPV IF ITS MAYWEATHER FIGHT.

THE FRAUD
from philstar:
Notes: The birthday song filled the Wild Card Gym after the two-hour workout, and Manny Pacquiao presented Freddie Roach with a birthday cake. Roach blew the candles and made a wish: Knock Clottey out...Each of the 87 persons who joined Pacquiao’s weight loss contest had to sign a waiver prepared by Dr. Allan Recto just to make sure that the boxing superstar won’t be held liable if something happens to any of them. Pacquiao has offered $3,000 to anyone who’d lose 15 percent of their body weight inside three weeks. Dr. Recto said it’s no joke. Most of those who joined the contest, you see, are non-athletes, just plain individuals, and trying to lose so much weight in so little time may cause them harm. Some of them are said to be starving themselves to death just to get the money. Based on Dr. Recto’s official list, there are those needing to lose as little as 15 lb and one as much as 40 lb. “We prepared the waiver to make sure no one sues Manny if something bad happens
Manny is the big star of boxing right now. He is well-loved and adored by many boxing fans like never been seen before. And Floyd doesn't like to be called number two. Accusing Manny of unsupported accusations is unacceptable and very unethical. A big crossover star like Manny is choking Floyd and leaves Floyd sleepless at night. Floyd might be one of most gifted fighter of the present generation but avoiding to fight Manny won't give justice to his claim as the best fighter in the world. The hell with Floyd's unproven claim and baseless accusations. He will never never be man enough to fight Manny. And all these people surrounding Floyd are all stupids and morons. Floyd needs to hire a good PR guy to fix all his problems. He should hire a good dealmaker and not an idiot banker like Richard. Enough of all this Floyd's bu11$h!t. Floyd is a disgrace to boxing. It's better for you to go to WWE and leave the good sport of boxing alone. You will never never be a Manny Pacquiao, Floyd.
i urge every boxing fans all over the world not to watch floyd PPV fight, this guys is disrespectful arrogant prick. as much as we like watching boxing lets not tolerate floyd behavior. this guy forgot we put him there. because of us the boxing fans who support boxing and yet he is bragging and wagging his money infront of us to insult the boxing fans.
I never knew how mean and racist Filipino's were until this fight came up...I'm so surprised and hope all the comments I'm reading are not true...you people will do anything to destroy a man you don't know...I've buy every ppv fight and I would never let some racist sitting behind a computer tell me how to spend $49. That's throw away money and I'm throwing it away on the mayweather vs mosley fight...I've never seen so much hate against a person it doesn't add up...whites and Filipinos are the only people doing this and you need to stop because you were never ordering the fight in the first place...I hate to tell you the fight will do better than manny clottey so give it up...
Schaefer is as sore of a loser as his boss Oscar de la Hoya. What kind of treatment do you expect from someone that got beat hands down by Manny Pacquiao? I lost my respect to Oscar a long time ago and i stopped watching boxing matches with the GBP written all over it.
@drake, you need to wake up and smeel the cofee. the guy you admire is insulting you directly by bragging and wagging his money infront of you.
U pactards r stupid and dumb.......40-0 25kos=equals undefeated greatest of all time....sorry pactards but evvvveeerrryyy AMERICAN knos pacman is on steriods....lol the truth will set u free.....and us AMERICANS can't wait til he gets caught so we cud throw it all in ur faces.............
THE AUTHOR OF THIS ARTICLE MAY HATE FLOYD MAYWEATHER... BUT HE SEEMS TO BE CONSUMED WITH HIM BECAUSE ALL HE EVER WRITES ABOUT IS FLOYD.
GET OVER IT. FIND A NEW SUBJECT. NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRY YOU ARE NOT GOING TO TEAR FLOYD DOWN. WHY DON'T YOU SPEND MORE TIME WRITING POSITIVE ARTICLES ABOUT FIGHTERS YOU DO LIKE? YOU COME ACROSS AS SOME PATHETIC DUDE THAT IS JUST OUT TO GET FLOYD. HOW LAME CAN YOU BE? GROW UP!
I don't know how much money Floyd has and don't want to because it had nothing to do with me...when you're raised with a little money and your parents teach you money isn't everytinng it doesn't eat you up inside when someone makes more than you...get a life
Pacquiao ==> FIGHTER of the Decade
.
XYLOCAINE-FRAUD ==> FUKCWIT of the DECADE
@ drake, you are paying someone to insult you thats make you a moron.
Mayweather hate him or love him is undefeated 40-0......sorry but I highly doubt eryone he has faced were hand picked.....lol if u pactards wanna say dat den I guess all of pacmans were to cause him and floyd had da same promoter at 4 years ago(bob arum)
Drake, where have you been your entire life? Up in the boondocks? Whether you like it or not, it's a racist world out there. Filipinos are discriminated against by everybody - I mean everybody. The knee-jerk reaction would be racism as well.
What makes you think arabs, latinos, chinese, europeans, african-americans aren't racist as well? What makes you think you aren't racist as well? "You people"? What's that about? $ 49 bucks is nothing, go spend it on whatever you want. Fact is, Mayweather is a really really good boxer. Probably the best in his era. Another fact is he's your regular j****ss - he's basically plowing you with his words. I know he's trying to emulate Ali when he tries to get into his opponent's minds but, let's face it, Ali was a poet; Floyd, on the other hand, totally misses the point of eloquence.
The favor I will give to the Mayweather & the Golden Boy just never watch their fight. That the best favor I could give.
No PPV buy onMay 1st for all Pinoys around the world. Boycott all GBP promoted fights.
even we came from a third world or a nation which is still developing but we are not from a monkey world which is the face of all the mayweathers... congratulations monkey family mayweathers ur face supposedly not belong in the city because your faces needs to be back on the forest...
TO ALL BOXING FANS WHO LOVE THIS SPORT. LET US BOYCOTT ALL MAYWEATHER FIGHTS AND ALL GOLDEN BOY FIGHTS. FILIPINOS ARE ONE OF THE MOST RESPECTFUL AND LOVING PEOPLE. IT IS TIME FOR US TO BE UNITED AGAIN AND JUST BOYCOTT THIS FIGHT. MAYWEATHER THINKS THEY CA JUST SAY ANYTHING AND DISCREDIT WHAT FILIPINOS HAVE DONE. WE ARE HARDWORKERS IN AMERICA. IF YOU WANT ME CROSS THAT THIN LINE BETWEEN LOVE AND HATE, I CAN. BUT MY PARENTS DID NOT TEACH ME THAT WAY. FOR NOW LET ALL FILIPINOS AND MINORITIES IN THE US AND OVER SEAS, (THAT GOES TO ALL CELEBRITIES WHO WATCH BOXING . LET US BOYCOTT THIS FIGHT AND SHOW THIS RACIST THAT WITHOUT THE BUYING PUBLIC REGARDLESS OF RACE) HE IS A NOBODY..... WELL HE IS ALREADY A NOBODY...LIKE THAT LACK OF ATTENTION.....(KULANG SA PANSIN)AND SWANSON COMMUNICATIONS REPRESENT SOMEBODY ELSE. YOU DONT WANT TO BE ON THE SAME BOAT WITH THESE PEOPLE WHEN THEY SINK. ..........BOYCOTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BOYCOTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BOYCOTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
March 6,
GBP and floyd are all lies just to keep face. Whoever believes what these liars say are really numb, dumb, stumped heads. think please, try to think harder! lol
"White boys and hispanics had to invent MMA (mixed martial arts) cuz they couldn't hack it in boxing." -Mayweather
He has a history of racism
negro
the only reason why there are a lot of American pac-haters is that Americans can't accept that a Filipino like Manny Pacquiao dominates the sport of boxing. East Coast vs. West Coast, Black America vs White America we don't care, you can sing the star spangled banner all u want we don't care your anthem sucks anyway
all gayweather fans are so stupid he make u so dumb by showing up fake money and you are verry proud.whats the point he think you are all stupid american.by flashing a fake dollar u are willing to suck him....
@floydisgreat, lol that username just SCREAMS nut hugger
mosley vs kfc boring fight
viva pilipinas viva mejico bullshit negro monkey gayweather
for as long as there is gbp and floyds minions, there will be a dancing with the stars episode for a huge fee, sold to the public as a boxing match.
no matter what you say and do gay weather... You are a GAY GAY GAY GAY.
All Mayweathers need to be send back to Zoological Garden where they are previously belong for observation. They are very dangerous individual with no room in the civilized society.
i wish LAPD cop will stop and beat to death all gayweathere clan for for drunk driving.....
hey folks,
just want to share my thoughts on all of this things going around the boxing world. I was never really a fan of boxing,but Ali and Tyson are probably the only 2 boxer that really caught my attention. After that, boxing became a little bit boring. Then there came UFC, it was interesting but too violent on my perspective.Then I heard of Floy M., saw couple of his fights, then I said to myself, this guy has the skill but not brave enough to fight like a man.Then there's Pacquiao, wow, this man has what boxing fans wants to see.
Floyd is a waste of time.He's the snake that the angels are stepping on.He will go down in boxing history that everybody will say really, really bad for sports of boixng.On the other hand, Manny Pacquiao,The Greatest Boxer Of all Time, The Bravest Boxer Of All Time.
Numbers don't mean sh!t if the fights had no substance. You can go undefeated your entire career if you cherry-pick your opponents. Ok let's take your idiotic way of thinking when it comes to this numbers game, taking your retardation into account Floyd's record ain't sh!t compared Edwin Valero, the guy has a perfect record. Joe Calzaghe has a better record than Floyd so it's Calzaghe or Valero is the best not Floyd. See how stupid you sound? Floyd is a little b!Tch his vagina gave of the wrong reaction when it came to fighting Pac. Haha please put up another stupid comment so we can all laugh at you I mean with you.
Floyd will never get me ordering PPV in any of his fights. I used to buy ODLH's
fights but never again on account of his GBP's position on recent debacles over Manny's alleged steroid issues. These people are greedy and pathetic liars.
These monkeys are always whining about imagined slights on their race or discrimination, but are in fact the biggest racist there are. They dont even hold their hand to their chest when singing the american anthem because they proudly declare that they are "BLACK". They have no right to be a BLACK SUPREMACIST as they are the lowest of the low. Other races dont even want them around if they can help it, AND THAT IS A FACT. If they move into a neighborhood, the value instantly plummets like a meteor falling to earth. As they say, "there goes the neighborhood". M u t h e r f@ck'n racist n i 9 9 e r s.
Pilipinos could buy 1million Ppv around the globe and still growing day by day. Saudi Europe and America even in Africa pilipinos buy Ppv. So don't be so racist way ever race u r. Dunt hide to the word Americans because 19% of Americans has Pilipino blood.
manila zoo need more monkey please lets make a petition to president obama to donate the tree endangered spiecies monkey floyd sr.the drug addict roger the female choker and floyd jr.the baby monkey.....
I love Floyd "Money" Mayweather and no one can ever change that...I don't understand why broke people keep talking about money...if you don't like your life get from in front of the computer and go change it...this America
Ugly Floyd can kiss my golden brown a*s. Funny thing for some (not all) black folks...when they get treated wrongfully, it's racist but if they treat others wrongfully, it's justified. Being racist is being racist no matter what nationality, gender, age, color you might be....all I'm saying Ugly Floyd, you bleed like how others bleed, you're not above anyone, you might think you are, but in reality, you are just as human like that person next to you. Hey, its the country of freedom and you were just exercising your rights when you ignored those Filipinos...so, here's my two cents on your actions, you are a nig*er for doing that. You're ignorant and senseless. Filipinos don't need you. I dare you to go to Philippines and act the way you're acting. You will quickly find out that your blood is as red as theirs. I DARE YOU. I know you're not going to do it because you are a coward and spineless bastard.
Floyd, please disrespect me and put your hands on me & see what happens!!!!
if i think of Mayweather Clan i think of the history that the white men gave liberty to black men a worst move...but then again they are just the few black men showing bad things..our retribution will not be the same..becuase we are decent people. Mayweathers are well what can we say.. ummm. from now on.. i can say...umm ahhh. well sorry guys.. cant say anything about them ..nothing..turn off...GTG
We have to BOYCOTT all Mayweather's fight. Starting May against Mosley we should start BOYCOTTING this arrogant chicken Floyd. He deserves no respect to the fight fans and journalists.
BOTCOTT..........BOYCOTT...........BOYCOTT
this dick chickenweather has his brain between his legs. DMF!
I live in Whittier where Mexicans also live. My neighbors tell me (who are Mexicans) that most Mexicans, even those who know Oscar dela Hoya, have no respect for the Golden Boy because of his arrogance. If he can do this to his own, I am not at all suprised the treatment on Manny P. I just wonder if Oscar had been successful in keeping Manny, the Pacman will never ever be where he's at. Mabuhay to Arum and Marley for being a true blooded boxing aficionados!!!!
Bwahaha.. Richie Rich just added fuel to the fire :D.. Is anyone in the ESPN informed about this? tsk tsk
It's about time Mexicans, Filipinos and all boxing Aficionados unite and expose the hypocrisy of Golden Boy's management.
Let's all BOYCOTT Mayweather vs Mosley (not because of Mosley)
to put a stop to all this nonsense!!
