reward = giving your fans what they want or you risk losing them.

And here people go again comparing a guy with 10 fights to Donaire's 30. I think the point TS is trying to make is that Donaire, after 30 fights, isn't a big draw and neither, especially, is Mathebula.

And the TS makes a good point. Donaire isn't that much of a draw himself, but this fight would make them even bigger draws than they already are.

Donaire is losing fans because it looks like he's ducking rigo. That's bad business sense already.

thats the ams tho..who cares? im not sayin nonito is a draw but riog has 10 fights , and agints no namers, bums ..nonito atleast has fought named fighters and still not that much of a draw...but rigo who has'nt done sh1t, not a crwod pleaser is as big as nonito? cmon now

Nonito been boo'ed his last 3-4 fights in a row. I remember Rigo being boo'ed vs Cordoba but that's it? I could be wrong.

Because it's the best fight that can be made and would settle who the best JR Featherweight is.

Period. If Donaire beat Rigo, Nobody could hate on him, nobody could call him overrated, Nobody could say that he's NOT the best Jr featherweight in the world.

That sells tickets. Because when you hear the best Jr featherweight in the world is fighting, then you know you it's something to watch.

noone is sayin nonito is a draw but to claim rigo can draw as much as him with only ten fights and all of em no namers? cmon now

[LA_2_Vegas]

Yeah, Nonito pretty much squandered whatever momentum he had after Montiel.... and now it's almost like they are trying to recapture that again with this Arce fight.

I'm not mad at that fight because he needs the confidence boost... but damn, it's time to start making classic champ vs champ fights!!

Find me a quote in this thread saying Rigo would draw as much as Donaire.

Do people on these forums not know how to read or choose not to comprehend?
