Hats off to Top Rank for making this fight tonight (Donaire vs. Rigondeaux)

Well, a lot of us complain that these promotors don't put on fights that we wanna see. The reality is Rigondeaux wanted the fight, Donaire wanted the fight. Their managers are happy with the fight, their coaches I believe are happy with the fight and the promotional companies involved are happy to do the fight. That's the formula it takes for a fight to take place, not just promotors - even though sometimes they may piss us off. One could say Top Rank had no choice, but they could have made other fights for both of them. So i'm still kinda shocked they put this fight together in the first place. Enjoy the fight everyone!

That's my point. **** is so crooked that we give props to promoters props for making fights that they're supposed to make. It's Arum's job to make this fight happen because its between the 2 best fighters at 122. I'm not cheerleading for one promoter over the next. **** Golden Boy and everything they stand for. i agree bro.gotta say the heads of golden boy give out that fake ass vibe about how they care so much about the sport and fans blah blah. arums and a hole but dude doesnt hide it. and yes toprank puts on the better fights and events.

Boner - Paulie? come on now doesnt sound so easy if u ask me That's my point. **** is so crooked that we give props to promoters props for making fights that they're supposed to make.

I see where your coming from but I'm not giving props to a promoter for doing what they're supposed to do. This matchup is a no-brainer and its even easier to make because its an in house fight.

I agree. Top Rank waited and screwed us out of Lopez-Gamboa, which could have been a great fight, and now it's gone. I am completely surprised they made the fight, good on Top Rank. I am hearing Donaire fights Juanma next.
