Do you think Arum had Darchinyan in mind from the very start?

Hell if I know maybe some type of clause kicked in where they(Caribe) get more money this time around. I have no idea but I still think this issue was known for a while by all parties involved Rigo, Donaire and most importantly Arum.

Top Rank's fighter wasn't expected to lose in that fight, that's why.

Why else would Donaire name him as one of the three fighters he want to beat in 2013? This several weeks ago.

Hmm, did Nonito really mention Darch several weeks ago? If true that has to make you wonder.

You asked me a question in regards to my 1st post in this thread. My post didn't put any blame on Donaire IMO. I just feel like this so called Caribe issue is not something new but the announcing of the issue is something that was purposefully delayed. IMO all parties been knew of this issue.

I posted yeaterday and got no response. Rigo said his issue with Caribe hasbeen resolved but wants the legal issue between Caribe and TR resolved. This had to be known.

Lets see if soggy answers this.

actually that was an interesting match-up...poonsawat was a tough pressure fighter with a good punch. so it wouldn't have been out of the realm of possibility for poonsawat to win the upset..also rigo is the one who won't sign the contract though....before this statement rigo's manager and his team said they were given the contract and were pleased with it, but now rigo doesn't want to sign it despite getting $750,000 for the fight. so this is somehow arum and donaire's fault???

why not just sign the contract and deal with the legal dispute after the fight?? why start making it an issue now and risk delaying the fight??

How does that make sense??? He wont sign the contract because hes "expected" to win???

That's what your saying right.?.?.?

The reason Caribe are a bigger problem for a Donaire fight than a Poon fight is because there is more money on the table...thats simple

I just like to mention the recent article from Donaire saying he won't be fighting mares or rigo next. ring any bells?

[sicko]

It is not about the money with Rigondeaux, seems to be some type of pending Lawsuit between Top Rank and people from his Camp that they want to settle before they sign

Why not the settle what ever that is and get the fight moving forward! Not like he is asking for more money
