Comments Thread For: Nonito Donaire Leaves Top Rank, Joins Golden Boy

I have to think this has something to do with Cameron Dunkin, who is rumored to move fighters over to GBP. Either way, hilarious ****. Absolutely hilarious.

I just love the fact that Donaire jumps ship everytime he gets a signature win. What an idiot.

Did not realize that till now!

He's just ducking Juanma, going over to GBP assures him that he'll never face Juanma since Arum will not deal with GBP.


That's what many in here would have said of Juanma had he done the same thing.

if de la hoya truly felt pac was juicing he would of asked for the olympic style testing when he fought him...he represented mayweather when floyd accused pac of using peds....so he had to back his fighter on the olympic style testing thing....

Clear?..... Moron!

delahoya walked away with all kinds of money from that fight and honestly thought he would simply hurt pac....

LOS ANGELES- Golden Boy Promotions is extremely pleased to announce the signing of Two-Division World Champion Nonito Donaire to its roster of fighters. The 28-year-old native of the Philippines is coming off of a dominant second round stoppage of Fernando Montiel on February 19, which earned him the WBC and WBO Bantamweight World Titles. Now, as he looks to continue his reign as one of the top pound-for-pound boxers today, "The Filipino Flash" has signed an exclusive, multi-year agreement with Golden Boy Promotions.

Since when do you have to be under a banner to fight an opponent under that same banner? Sucks, my friend. Top Rank needs to get called out for this BS because it's killing the sport. And competition.

Those ***tards are a joke.

They choose to support a con-man promoter who is holding the sport to ransom. WTF?

I bet you're really hanging out for the Mayweather/Manny fight.

I wonder what the financial details to this deal with Doanire and GBP is.

Depends how big the briefcase was

Also, one other quick thought. Arum never once put Donaire on the Pacquiao undercards. Every Filipino I know who buys the Pac fights and loves Pacman has never even heard of Donaire. The thing is Bob knew not one extra person would buy any Pac PPV if Donaire was on the card so because he didn't see extra $$$, he shelved him to crappy Pinoy Power PPVs. But that would have been a huge way to help promote Donaire as the heir to Filipino boxing when Manny retires. This could also have been a contributing factor with Donaire leaving Top Rank...

Good point , but I'm pretty sure that Manny pulled him from that card.

Yeah Arum should've definitely given Donaire more exposure and putting him as the lead-up fight to Pac would've been the logical thing to do, but I've read that Koncz is the reason that never happened because Nonito refused to have that scumbag as his 'adviser'.

Don't know if it's true, wouldn't surprise me if it was though.

The article I read insinuated that Manny pulled him coz he wasn't MP.
