Top Rank promoter Bob Arum has ripped the contract submitted by Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer, offering “Fighter of the Year” Nonito “The Filipino Flassh” Donaire $3 million dollars to fight WBC super bantamweight champion Abner Mares in June. The signed contract was sent to Arum’s lawyer David Marroso [Click Here To Read The Full Contract]. Arum told BoxingScene.com/Manila Standard: “Nonito knows –and he’s nice boy and realizes it – that because of HBO he has been able to fight four times on television last year and that enabled him to become ‘Fighter of the Year’. It would be the essence of disloyalty on his part and on my part if we allowed a fight with Nonito and Mares to be on Showtime.”

by Cliff Rold - It’s probably too early to speculate. Let’s go ahead and do it anyways. Late Friday evening, BoxingScene’s Rick Reeno posted breaking news stories that furthered chatter begun earlier in the week by Golden Boy Promotions head Richard Schaefer. Claiming no interest in co-promotion, a reported offer by Top Rank’s Bob Arum was made to, in essence, purchase the services of WBC 122 lb. titlist Abner Mares for a unification bout with WBO/IBF titlist and lineal World Champion Nonito Donaire.
