RICHARD SCHAEFER




Richard has been with Oscar for six years and is generally credited with being the architect of Golden Boy’s meteoric success during that brief time. He was born in Bern on October 25, 1961, and was raised in Switzerland.

AFTER AN EDUCATION IN BANKING (AS WELL AS A BA IN PSYCHOLOGY MA IN HYPNOSIS)

After an education in banking, he began his career with Swiss Volksbank, then came to Los Angeles in 1988 with Swiss Bank, (now UBS, the largest bank in Switzerland), and continued to get promotion after promotion until he was named Deputy CEO of Banking Operations in the United States in 1997. He was young, incredibly successful, and destined for a life of comfort and wealth.
(HE WAS SENT TO WORK ON THE INSIDES AND TO PROTECT HIMSELF FROM THE LAWSUITS SURRONDING THE HOLOCAUST SCANDAL... RICHARDS FATHER RELOCATED TO HEAD OF BANKING IN GENEVA...

Richard married his wife Lilia in 1994, and they have three children, ages, 12, 10, and 9.



“It was the smartest thing I’ve ever done,” he says of his marriage. “She’s just fantastic, she really allows me to do what I have to do to build up the business. It’s really important to have someone at home where you know the kids are taken care of.”

"IT WAS THE SMARTEST THING I'VE EVER DONE" LOL REALLY? DIDNT KNOW LOVE HAD A BRAIN...

“She’s just fantastic, she really allows me to do what I have to do to build up the business. SHE STAYS THE FUCK OUT OF MY WAY...IS THAT WANT YOU MEANT TO SAY?


Richard met Oscar in 1995 through Raul Jaimes, Lilia’s nephew and longtime De La Hoya friend, who is now the Vice-President of Boxing Operations for Golden Boy. A few years later, Oscar approached Schaefer to build a business for him and in the year 2000 he left the banking business to make history with De La Hoya, intrigued with the possibilities in the burgeoning Hispanic market with the charismatic De La Hoya as the face of the company.



It was a calculated gamble that has paid off well. Today they operate out of the 12 story headquarters known as the “Golden Boy Building” on Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles, enjoying enormous success as a promotional company on the top tier of the industry.



ANSWERING THE ALLEGATIONS



As previously stated, not everyone is convinced of the motives and methods of the Golden Boy operation. Richard Schaefer went on the record to answer his detractors and describe his vision for Golden Boy.



Swann: Are you still promoting Chico Corrales and if so, when is his first fight?



Schaefer: “Well hopefully. We were copied a letter from Gary Shaw where he claims he still has promotional rights for Chico Corrales . A lot of people were copied, short of Jim Lampley and Harold Lederman from HBO just about everyone else that you could think of. But Chico Corrales subsequently responded back to Gary and asked, ‘I was not aware of signing any promotional or Showtime agreement, would you please be so kind as to send me a copy to refresh my recollection?’ And he has not received a copy of that agreement.



“When I saw a copy of that letter, I went on the record saying that, of course, if there is a valid promotional agreement we would, of course, withdraw as Chico Corrales’ promoter because the last thing we want is to interfere with an existing valid contract.



“What is interesting though is that in reference to William Trillo [Pound4pound.com] in the article you called brilliant, which I don’t think is that brilliant because if he had checked with us, which he didn’t, I would have told him.



“Prior to signing Chico Corrales I called Gary Shaw and told him as you know there are a number of promoters trying to retain and sign services for Chico Corrales. We obviously are one of them who are interested, and he [Shaw] acknowledges that. I talked to him and he said, ‘Well, I’m trying to sign him as well.’ Not one time did he say to me that, ‘Hey, I still have a promotional contract and I ask you not to interfere.’ And that obviously is very unfortunate. I asked him, ‘Why didn’t you tell me you had an agreement?’ He said, ‘Well you didn’t ask me directly.’ I said, ‘C’mon, I’m calling you telling you I’m interested in Corrales, you told me you wanted to re-sign him as well, why didn’t you just tell me you had a contract with him?’ He said, ‘I don’t have to tell you anything.’ He told me other things in the conversation that I don’t want to repeat because I respect Gary Shaw and I have nothing against the man.



“[James] Prince, his [Corrales] manager was mentioned as well. Why didn’t Richard call Prince? Well, I did call Prince. As a matter of fact I even negotiated the contract with Prince. Shane Mosley was on the phone, I was on the phone, James Prince was on the phone. James Prince actually asked our attorney to send him a copy of the contract, so he was part of that. Why didn’t he say , ‘Richard we can’t because there’s a valid contract.’ He knew we were going to sign Diego Corrales. There’s a track record on our email. There was no conspiracy that we were trying to take him [Corrales] from another promoter. We checked with the fighter, we checked with the promoter, and we checked with the manager.”



Swann: How about the Pacquiao signing?



Schaefer: “Again, his attorney was there and we negotiated the contract very thoroughly. If Bob Arum feels he wants to sue us, he should. In return I’m asking him [Arum] what your claims are and he sent what he claims they are and there’s nothing to it. So again, it’s other promoters trying to bully their way around, and it just doesn’t fly with us. I believe in the end the truth will always come out. I sleep well at night because I know I’m doing the right thing. Anybody can sue anybody. We’ve gotten sued in the past and, touch wood, we’ve always won.”



Swann: Shouldn’t someone have checked the status of the contracts with Corrales and Pacquiao?



Schaefer: “These are two different cases. Chico Corrales said he didn’t [have an existing contract]. Yes, I think a promoter should look into it and not take the fighter’s word, absolutely.



“In one case we had Manny’s attorney involved and he knew what was signed and not signed. We checked with other people who checked and confirmed that Manny Pacquiao is a promotional free agent, but I’d rather not name those other people . When he [Arum] does go to the lawsuit, people will find out who these people are.



“ As to Diego Corrales, if a fighter asked me [ for a copy of the contract] I would just send it to him and I would send a copy of the Showtime agreement. If they’re signed and they’re done, what is the big mystery? If I signed a deal and I’m still obligated to provide certain services, I’m going to provide those services. We said that even though we checked, if a contract pops up, that’s fine with us , too.”



Swann: How about the charge that Golden Boy cannot develop talent and steal talent from other promoters after they develop them?



Schaefer: “ We develop talent. For example, take Ponce De Leon. We brought him along. He’s world champion now and he’s been on HBO several times. Johhny Gonzales, one of the most talked about , exciting fighters, we brought him along. Israel Vasquez is a guy who has been around, but we brought him into prominence. So is Joan Guzman. We create the opportunities and it’s up to them to deliver. Another guy we brought along from the beginning was Librado Andrade, who is ranked #1 [super middleweight] in the world and is the mandatory to Mikkel Kessler. He was built up on HBO Latino and Telefutura. So there are a number of fighters that we have built up and frankly I don’t know any other promoter who can say they have developed as much talent as we have done in the last few years.



“You know a lot of that is driven from jealousy. When you are successful, it breeds jealousy.”



On Wal-Mart…



Schaefer: “ I must compliment Kathy Duva. At least she is open enough to go public with her feelings. While other people hide and don’t want to be named in public because they’re afraid that it will have consequence and make me out to be that monster.

Richard Schaefer is such a liar

DLHOYABABYMOMMA says...

By Ronnie Nathanielsz




Pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao’s conditioning expert Alex Ariza has blasted Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer for spreading falsehoods and striving to undermine the remarkable achievements of Pacquiao even as he challenged Floyd Mayweather Jr to stop the posturing and get into the ring against Pacquiao.



Well-known boxing writer Kevin Iole of Yahoo Sports.com himself accused both Schaefer and Golden Boy Promotions owner Oscar De La Hoya of speaking from both corners of their mouths and making contradictory statements and accused De La Hoya of using Ring Magazine which he owns, to assail Pacquiao and question his achievements.



Iole wrote, “Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer, whose company is representing Mayweather, has consistently spoken out of both sides of his mouth. He’s sounded righteously indignant when discussing Pacquiao’s refusal to agree to the testing, but he flat refused to consider additional testing in 2008 when Zab Judah demanded it prior to his planned fight with (Shane) Mosley.” Mosley had admitted taking steroids prior to his fight with Oscar De La Hoya but claimed it was inadvertent.



Iole also said “ And then there’s De La Hoya, who talks out of both sides of his mouth so often it’s not even funny. De La Hoya, who is the president of Golden Boy Promotions, continues to use his blog on the GBP-owned Ring magazine website as a personal propaganda tool. He publicly contradicted himself in his Dec. 23 blog in which he questioned Pacquiao’s reluctance to do blood tests.”



Schaefer told us in the Golden Boy boardroom prior to the Floyd Mayweather Jr – Juan Manuel Marquez fight last October, that he was sure Manny was on some performance enhancing drugs, and then subsequently denied he made the statement when interviewed by Iole which was expected in the face of a lawsuit being readied against him and Golden Boy Promotions as well as the Mayweathers.



BoxingScene.com, insidesports.ph, Standard Today and Viva Sports learned that crack lawyer Dan Petrocelli who nailed OJ Simpson in a civil suit will handle the case for Pacquiao and Top Rank.



Pacquiao meantime underwent the urine test as directed by the Nevada State Athletic Commission chairwoman Pat Lundvall with World Anti Doping Agency accredited Philippine Olympic Committee doctor, Alex Pineda flying to Pacquiao's hometown of General Santos City to administer the test.



Pacquiao adviser Michael Koncz said that they were "not budging" from the announced readiness of Pacquiao to undergo a blood test 30 days before the planned March 13 Mayweather fight and immediately after the fight in his dressing room effectively rejecting Schaefer and Mayweather's demand for random test up to the day of the weigh in.



Ariza who is vacationing in Hawaii with his mother, blasted those who reportedly spread the word that he had unspecified links with the BALCO laboratory that was found guilty of giving athletes performance enhancing drugs or steroids.



An angry Ariza insisted “I have never been linked or done any work with BALCO. I don’t know anyone from there or been associated or my name found in any documents that have to do with BALCO. I have never been linked to BALCO. I have never had anything to do with BALCO. I am also not associated with anyone from Velocity Training Center nor have I worked with them or had any kind of contact.”



He challenged anybody “to provide proof or documents with my name on it showing that I worked f or BALCO or anything that has to do with steroids” following apparent efforts to discredit the conditioning guru who joined celebrated trainer Freddie Roach to turn Pacquiao into a fighting machine that demolished Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton and Miguel Cotto en route to set a record by becoming the first boxer to win seven world titles in seven separate weight divisions.



Ariza said earlier, he didn’t have any problem with Olympic-style drug tests being conducted on Pacquiao but said “no matter where they try to look for something, at the end of the day Mayweather is going to have to get in that ring and he is just going to have to show up. All the posturing about Manny getting knocked out or being on steroids…all of that s---t, he is going to eventually have to step into that ring and he’s going to have to fight. There’s not going to be any excuses.”



Ariza said “I am the one in charge, I’m the one responsible for what Manny takes. He has no idea what he takes. He is on the same thing that Amir Khan (WBA light welterweight champion) , Vanes Martirosyan’s on and I don’t give my guys any steroids. What I give them is all natural and its my own special blend of different things.”



He said that if Mayweather dares to step into the ring against Pacquiao he would get “the beating of his life.”
DLHOYABABYMOMMA DRAMA NOW WHAT?

I have a son with Oscar De La Hoya... His name is Devon De La Hoya... Im asking for public support in helping Oscar understand how important it is that he visit his son... I do get child support... However, money can't replace my childs need for his father... Thanks for your support... I believe its never too late for child/father relationships. Angelicque

Mr. Burstein... blow that hot air elsewhere

Mr. Burstein (Attorney for Manny then attorney for Mosley then attorney for OSCAR DE LA HOYA then attorney for DON KING then attorney for Schaefer... Lets just call him... Burstein the swing attorney says...

Jesus Christ' Couldn't Win Manny Pacquaio's Case


Oh yes Jesus Christ Could Win Manny Pacquaio's Case!

And so could any other attorney who knows the difference between "Freedom of Speech" and character assassination.

The comment made with regards to Mr. Pacquaio was done so with intent to damage his reputation and ultimately take away his ability of drawing millions of fans for ppv bouts. Sabotage and thus providing a clear path for Golden Boy to rank up as the holder for highest pay per view draw (Money Mayweather) Just look at the aftermath...You must be blind if you do not see the carefully choreographed manipulation going on here...



Mr. Burstein

This is a simple tactic to try and persuade the petitioner (Manny) to withdraw his case... Who the hell represents people in a circle over and over...

Its a complete conflict of interest and disgusting to say the least. This swinger style behavior among your boxing clients could be questioned by the American Bar Association as unethical.



Now... talk about hypocrites... Here is a portion of a letter sent to me by Schaefers attorney when he didn't like things being said about him...

And I was telling the truth...

Richard is guilty of making unproven, derogatory, remarks which has caused much more of a loss than one could ever put a price tag on...

However in my opinion, and knowing the history behind the illegal tactics used by Schaefer, I say a jury would return a verdict of a much higher amount than that of one lost fight against Mayweather...

Good Luck Manny... And I'm available to testify if needed. (Schaefer does have a history of doing illegal business).



LETTER FROM GB ATTORNEY



Ms. McQueen must make her choice and make it immediately. Cease and desist with all communications to all third party's about Mr. De La Hoya and Richard Schaefer or face the music of protracted litigation.



Ms. McQueen is facing serious litigation not only in connection with the paternity action for her intentional and unequivocal breach of the confidentiality provisions of the Judgment, but also facing civil penalties for slander, intentional interference with contractual relations and intentional infliction of emotional distress among other causes of action. She faces potential lawsuits from Golden Boy Promotions, Richard Schaefer and Oscar Dc La Hoya.

.

The financial consequences to Ms. McQueen if she does not immediately cease and desist her activities will be monumental. I am hopeful that you will be able to contact her immediately to discuss this matter in greater detail with her. If I am informed of one more email being sent by Ms. McQueen to any third party wherein she makes similar ""false claims against Mr. Schaefer"" and/or Mr. De La Hoya, lawsuits will be immediately filed and served.

Very truly yours,

SCOTT N. WESTON
