Arum: Filipinos Don't Support 'No Pay-Per-View' Donaire
Bantamweight ruler Nonito Donaire's sudden defection to archrival Golden Boy seemed to be taken in stride by Top Rank boss Bob Arum. I made a column out of it a few days ago when, upon reflecting on Donaire declaring himself a free agent and then inking with Team De La Hoya, Arum reflected back on past fighter defections and near defections.

In speaking to DiBella Tuesday afternoon, he put a quick kibosh on the thought of a Sergio Martinez vs. Manny Pacquiao mega-fight.
