BoxingScene.com spoke with Richard Schaefer, the CEO of Golden Boy Promotions, to get his thoughts regarding Manny Pacquiao's controversial decision loss to Timothy Bradley from this past Saturday night in Las Vegas. Schaefer also gave his take on why a Pacquiao-Bradley rematch is a bad idea for the sport. And he also discusses whether or not the Bradley defeat will affect future negotiations for a possible mega-fight between Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr.
BoxingScene.com: Thoughts on the fight.
Schaefer: Obviously a horrible decision and I think everybody knows that Pacquiao won. I refuse to believe that there is any corruption, the corruption theory. I think it's just judges that are maybe at the point where they should retire. I think that's what it is, and unfortunately we are seeing recently more of these decisions and most of the time you have judges which are close to their eighties or in their eighties and maybe they shouldn't judge anymore.
Ultimately, the athletic commissions have to educate and find judges to bring the next generation of judges along and [make sure] they are better equipped to handle their responsibilities.
BoxingScene.com: Schaefer expresses his frustration pertaining to a widely circulated quote from Bob Arum, the CEO of Top Rank, the company that promotes both Pacquiao and Bradley.
Schaefer: I think the thing which really bothered me, and I think a lot of fans picked up on that, from Arum - where he said 'well, I disagree with the judges and I'm outraged' - which is fair and a good comment, but then he goes on to say 'I am going to make a lot of money in the rematch.' He doesn't say Bradley or Pacquiao is going to make a lot of money, [Arum says] 'I am going to make a lot of money in the rematch.'
So for people to read that...and it was in all the newspapers and everywhere you see that quote, so a lot of fans picked up on that. That was an idiotic comment to make. Because who the hell cares at this point about making money. This is now about the credibility of the sport. If you have somebody like Arum making these kinds of comments, then I think it's totally out of place.
Cred ca baietii care faceau misto de felul in care a pierdut Pacquiao inteleg destul de bine engleza.
