Although Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer emphasized that he does not condone Adrien Broner's disparaging comments regarding Hispanic fighter Carlos Molina following Saturday's unanimous decision victory on Showtime Pay-Per-View, he was "upset" upon first hearing about the WBC's disciplinary action against 24-year-old three-division titlewinner from RingTV.com rather than organization President Mauricio Sulaiman.

Schaefer reacted on Wednesday when the decision was rendered.

"Adrien Broner is a young guy and he said some things that he shouldn't have said, and I told you guys at the post-fight press conference that I don't endorse those things. I don't. My wife is Mexican and my boys are Mexican-American, so I don't condone these things and I wasn't happy about it," said Schaefer, adding he does expect Broner to make a public apology.

"But you know what? For the WBC to go and say that they're going to suspend him…I think that Mauricio Sulaiman and the WBC are not more Mexican than my wife is and she was born in Mexico, so you don't deal with things that way in my opinion. What you do is you sit down with a young man like that and you explain to him that, 'You can't do this,' and, 'You can't do that.' You coach him that you do not do things like that. Again, that has nothing to do with agreeing with what he said or what he has done. I didn't agree with it and I think that it was wrong what he said. I didn't like it."

Neither Broner nor his trainer, Mike Stafford could be reached for an immediate comment on Wednesday.

In a statement emailed to RingTV.com on Wednesday, the WBC stated in part, "Mr. Broner is hereby suspended from participating in any WBC-sanctioned championships and will be excluded from the WBC ratings until he makes a public apology satisfactory to the public of the world."

"Adrien Broner is out of the ratings of the WBC and he can not compete for any WBC-affiliated championship. We can not control what the other organizations do. What we have expressed is an open letter inviting him to either do an explanation if he was misunderstood or we have invited him to issue an apology which is acceptable to the world," said Sulaiman.

"If he does that, then, of course, we will review that and lift the suspension. But we have a group of panelists and communications who were extremely hurt and WBC members who saw the fight on television had expressed their concern because boxing is not about that type of behavior."

Schaefer said he was hearing of Broner's suspension for the first time from RingTV.com.

"I was actually not even informed. I did not get any emails. You know, usually, when it's an email about the sanctioning fees, I get it and I usually get it two or three times," said Schaefer, adding that Broner's advisor, Al Haymon had also not been notified.

"Unfortunately, on this particular one, I was not informed and the first time that I am hearing it is from you. I just talked to Al Haymon and he had not been informed either and I have to tell you that we are a bit upset that the WBC does something like that and does not even inform us."

Sulaiman defended his decision, however, as being consistent with that leveled against heavyweight Chris Arreola in the wake of a nationally-televised loss. Arreola has a rematch on Saturday against Bermane Stiverne for the WBC's vacant belt.

"We suspended Chris Arreola several years ago for swearing on television in a very terrible way," said Sulaiman, "and he was suspended, so this is consistent. Chris Arreola accepted the suspension; he did apologize and he did have a conversation with my father [the late former President Jose Sulaiman]. Now, he is fighting for the WBC [heavyweight] championship."

Reached on Thursday morning and informed of Schaefer's disatisfaction, Sulaiman said, "This is about the fighter, not the promoter." Sulaiman had just landed in Los Angeles, where he is set to attend Saturday's heavyweight fight between Chris Arreola and Bermane Stiverne for the WBC's vacant belt.

Broner (28-1, 22 KOs) had just beaten Molina in his junior welterweight debut on the Floyd Mayweather Jr.-Marcos Maidana undercard in Las Vegas and was being interviewed in the ring by Showtime's Jim Gray when he said, "I've beaten 'Afri-CANs' and I just beat the f— out of a 'Mexi-CAN.'"

"When I got into the ring with Adrien, the first thing that he did was he stormed toward me and he clearly came to me and he said, 'I am so sorry about the comments that I made, so he knows that he made a mistake,'" said Schaefer.
