Comments Thread For: Mares Applying Promotional Pressure For Donaire Bout - Page 4

Boxing needs a UFC style super-structure so that these fights get made. **** promoters like Bob Arum.

mares should just leave golden boy promotions....he has better options with top rank anyways...

ShoulderRoll

Golden Boy was with Mares from the very start of his career and they did a lot to build him up. Now Bob Arum is supposed to get all the benefit of that?

And even despite all that...GBP said they would let Arum promote this fight as long as they could promote Rios vs. Matthysse. Bob of course wasn't interested in compromising.

Rios has become a hbo staple, why would they for a second allow gbp to promote his fight and against matthysse of all fighters.

Gbp has a ton of guys who can fight matthysse and they won't even let there own guys fight him. Why should top rank?

Or Arum dies somehow. Everybody loves Todd DuBoef, even Floyd. Arum has made great fights in boxing but his senility and arrogance has been fucking up the sport the past five years.

Hey, if Arum wants GBP to step aside with Mares then he should be willing to sacrifice something of value too. But like I said he won't compromise.

If Donaire really wanted this fight, it would happen. He can voice his demand to Top Rank, but in all the interviews I've read/watched with Donaire speaking on this, he's never once spoken about the difficulty in making this fight because of Bob Arum. It's the usually "I'll fight anybody, anytime" B.S.

i think i remember him bringing it up in a somewhat recent interview he did...

ShoulderRoll

Donaire did bring it up a little after the Arce fight. But he needs to be way more vocal about it and mention it more often than he does.

Just like Mares has been doing.

This fight isn't happening, unfortunately.
