He's doing this outreach thing to Arum because part of his rehab is about forgiving your enemies and trying to be friendly with them. I'm guessing this getting-friendly-with-Bob thing is not going to turn out to be a smart personal or professional move for him.

If he does try and run the company himself then you don't have to be Mystic Meg to see trouble ahead. If he gets somebody in as CEO then what happens if the CEO says that Arum is a cunt and they're better off not working with him, which will probably happen sooner or later.

So many variables. People forget, or ignore, that it was Arum that stopped working with GBP before Richard had had enough. Bob said himself long ago that he had neither taken nor returned a call from Schaeffer in over a year. That was way back when Bob was pretending he didn't know who to negotiate with for a Floyd fight.(guessing that was 2012 but I'll have to look it up to be sure)

I couldn't agree more. I'm looking forward to seeing what company Mayweather uses to promote his next fight.

TMT will likely be promoting his next fight.

Didn't the FBI take boxes of records from GB Promotions, what's the skinny on that? I know the FBI says they do not talk about ongoing investigations but there has to be some information wafting around.
Google reported the FBI was looking into fight fixing at GBP. Could this be why Schaefer is hitting the road?

Not without a license (which they don't currently have) they won't

I thought TMT kicked the bucket in '12. 50 Cent was taking that line anyway.

Last time they worked together was PDL versus Gamboa. They were claiming it was the first of many after a period of cold war but it got even colder after that.

Maybe Philthy Rich Records can promote it. :)
