Nonito Donaire will never be a huge draw

[ronnie_N.]

throwing 20 punches a round, with 80% of which are left hook... sure, he will never be a huge draw... who would want to watch a fighter who seldom throws combinations and just waiting for a big left hook to land?... geez...

great talent though... he just chooses not to use the full potential of it... he always rely/wait on that goddamned left hook...

He's 30 years old with zero PPV's headlined. He gives the fans a worthy fight every 4 years. He doesn't even take advantage of his overrated P4P stance.

Yup, he stalled his own growth. He was very inactive after the Darchniyan KO, and he blamed Gary Shaw, but even after he left Shaw, he found someone new to blame like his father, he didn't do much after getting with Arum, and his fued with Arum was stupid. Nonito is not a draw, plus what ive read from filipino boxing fans they cant stand him and think he is arrogant.

Its embarrassing that he couldn't even sell out a small stadium in a area that has over 100 thousand Filipinos, if that was a 24 year old featherweight Pacquiao that stadium would have sold out fast.

Nonito is 30 years old, and he cant sell any tickets. I think he thinks of himself too highly, dude is gassed up. I also heard Arum pays him 1 million a fight now, that was the new contract deal that Nonito would get paid no less than a million not sure how true that is, but if it is Nonito is grossly overpaid.

Why the hate on Nonito?

people will not be impressed with him beating on midgets and smaller guys he should've moved up to LW by now

He is already fighting guys his size.

[Russian Crushin]

Unless a fighter hits WW, there is almost 0 chance of a fighter being a "huge draw", let alone only at 122, which is already his 4th (?) division.

[CHOWWOKKA]

True........ He just doesn't have the appeal like pacquiao plus he basically disowned his family which turned a lot of Filipinos off

He called Jinkee a sewer rat.

[Young Money]

Also his wife has weird boobies.

Why the hate on Nonito?

I don't hate Nonito, I enjoy watching his fights, its just the guy is gassed up, he thinks of himself like he is a huge star. He is 30 years old and doesn't have any ppv headline fights or been on any ppv undercards that I know of.

Its sad that Max and Roy Jones gas him up big time, its like they keep reaching hoping desperately that some how maybe their hype can turn him into a draw.

[Frank Ducketts]

Who cares if Donaire doesn't become a huge draw. 95% of the boxers today won't become a huge draw.

So you're discrediting him because he isn't going to be super-famous?

Nonito is getting paid and has been doing his damn thing. He's had a lot of setbacks, including being kept from fighting on Pac's cards despite that he's with Top Rank, but he gives an honest performance so who gives a ****? He's getting rich enough running thangs in the lower weight classes.

People get bored with watching a guy win easily all the time, but what can you do? Kid can fight. He's worked hard and deserves to shine.
