BIGPOPPAPUMP

Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer is rolling out the big guns. Schaefer saw a recent article on BoxingScene.com, where Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum had mentioned that conversations were taking place for a potential super bantamweight unification between Nonito Donaire (31-1, 20KOs) and Abner Mares (25-0, 13KOs) on an HBO televised date of April 13th.

Schaefer, who promotes Mares, denies that his company is having any discussions with Top Rank. According to Schaefer, the only conversations taking place are between Top Rank and Frank Espinoza, who manages Mares.

3 mil each?

Would he accept $3 mil from Top Rank? That's how Arum wanted to make the deal.

I see this going nowhere.

If this fight had a chance it wouldn't be done in public with both sides taking shots at the other

Not enough money.

Besides, Arum does business via personal preferences, no with $$$. A hateful, bitter old man that will stop at nothing to ruin the legitimacy of boxing.

Twako

dont care how the deal happens as long as it happens!

3 millions does seem like a pretty hefty offer. I don't know how they intend to make money considering all the other money they would have to put in, HBO pays a lot but usually not $5 million (which wouldn't even cover everything). If they were going to do a PPV I could see that number making sense but I don't know if gate plus international (and all other revenue) make that anything more than a break even proposition at best.
