The biggest story of the week is the promotional tug of war for WBC/WBO bantamweight champion Nonito Donaire. Several days ago, Golden Boy Promotions announced the multi-year promotional signing of Donaire, who claimed free agency from Top Rank. Soon after, Top Rank's CEO, Bob Arum, disclosed that his company still has a valid binding promotional contract over Donaire. The matter is clearly heading to a court of law for resolution.
During a recent interview with BoxingScene.com, Nonito's wife and business manager, Rachel Donaire, explained the reasons behind her husband's jump to Golden Boy. A few of the issues that bothered Nonito's wife, was her husband playing a secondary role to Top Rank's company superstar, Manny Pacquiao. And, she was bothered by her husband's inability to secure a position on any of Pacquiao's undercards.
