Danm, donaire is a beast

Damn Al really replaced him like that. Great for the fans but you gotta think Rigo is getting some sort of compensation right?

The big winners of this vs Inoue for all the marbles

Bingo! Can you imagine it? A big PPV with PBC and TopRank starring Japanese and Filipino-American stars? The first of its kind in the USA to my memory. Haymon is a genius. They should have that fight in Honolulu, Lol Angeles, or San Francisco. A massive potential for new fans in American boxing

If you’re an actual boxing fan, how can you not like Donaire?

Rigo is with PBC, too, right? If Donaire wins, he might go with the easier to set up rematch with Rigo. It's hard to believe Haymon would snatch this fight away from Rigo without promising him something.

He's likely on the card and gets the winner. If I were him, I wouldn't have agreed to this though.

SHO though is absolutely killing it. Three unifcation bouts from July to September with Charlo vs Castano in July, Donaire vs Casimero in August and Fulton vs Figueora in September.

Good move, much better fight, Haymon is 100% behind Donaire and I like it.

kinda crazy when Nonito isn’t even signed to haymon

Fire schedule makes un for tonight’s crappy main event

"Revenging" a loss 10 years earlier when both fighters are in their 40s... sounds like desperate marketing.


Rigo lol the most inactive inactive fighter ever... whilst also being one of the most talented ever. What a total loser. He must not like money or just a weird guy

Yeah. Rigo will get the winner as per Coppinger.
