Shaefer is a smart person. A weasel but a smart weasel. As long as can show that his model was increasing profits he's safe. What I suspect happened is Shaefer saw all the ground Haymon was gaining so he decided to straddle the fence and pick a side when it became clear who was taking over. Now that Haymon is strong enough he flat dared Oscar to fire him. What does he care he has a contract through 2018 he'd get a huge buyout and he just goes to Haymon and they partner with Main Event. Shaefer played it right, Oscar would be a fool to fire Shaefer because his stable would be gutted. The fighters go to Haymon to be like Floyd or TR to try for Manny money. Oscar would have no whale.
