Schaefer added: “It’s really an insult to the Mayweather brand. I really think so. To have this guy, this D-Rex talking about it like that — it’s just embarrassing to everybody. I don’t know what that relationship is. I can’t speak about somebody else’s relationship. why not, he does for oscar?
But to read about this D-Rex talking that this ghetto-ese language is how he can relate to Floyd — it’s just bad. I just felt that it was very insulting.



‘D-Rex’ is a name Schaefer has dubbed Don King, along with ‘B-Rex’ for Top Rank Promoter Bob Arum, seemingly to poke fun at their old age and loss of touch with the sport.



Many are wondering if Schaefer’s comments will do Golden Boy any favours, or whether they will simply provoke a fight they will have little to no sway in. Somehow Schaefer already sounds like a defeated man, a man willing to sell his highest financial prospects to the dogs in the name of external circumstances.



Mayweather has been represented by Golden Boy in his last four fights, despite officially being without a promoter. He encourages his own promotion company, “Mayweather Promotions,” but acknowledges the necessity of a middle-man in the larger fights.



Save for Schaefer, many are viewing King’s recent pursuit of Mayweather as an interesting addition to the sport’s commentary that may well prove successful. King spent last week wining and dining with Mayweather, and invited him to his card in St. Louis on Saturday, where the two could be seen sharing laughs together in the audience.
