Golden CEO issues final response to Bob Arum!

Moments ago Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer issued the following statement in response to Bob Arum's most recent exclusive interview on Boxingtalk.com, "The Bob Arum insults on HBO on fighters, Oscar, Golden Boy and myself continue. It's funny that he calls Bernard Hopkins and Antonio Tarver and I'm quoting Bob Arum, two old farts, he should look in the mirror. As it relates to all of his other comments and insults, I can only say that I truly feel sorry for this man. He has so much hate and bitterness in his heart, he started 40 years ago and put together an amazing career in boxing of which he can and should be proud of. It's sad to see that now he just wants to destroy everything he has built. He should give his very capable step son Todd Duboef the opportunity to run the business, step aside and take his grandkids to Disneyland. You have this man on Boxingtalk almost every day, please on behalf of all the boxing fans and fighters spare us this garbage, let's use our time for more productive things. We will no longer respond to his continued insults. Bob has become the Jerry Springer of boxing, the only difference is that Jerry Springer is a main event while he is just a side show."
