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

[Eaner0919]

interesting story I can share now

I ran into Nonito and Rachel at Canelo's fight and I hit him up for his next outfit theme and told him "hey we need to make plans for May 28th"

Nonito: "what's May 28th?"

Me: "your fight"

Nonito laughs and says "ooooh that May 28th yeah" and then starts laughing again

Dunno if this is good or bad news, I just hope he gets the right match-ups in the future.

Didn't expect this, but it's good for now. Golden Boy will give him their fighters, but I'm not sure how they'll build him up in the long run. It's a multi-year deal so I hope they treat him well.

Good riddance....I never liked that excuse making clown anyways.

He will face subpar comp, but atleast he can't try and blame it on Arum.

[ShoulderRoll]

Great news. Arum would have wasted years of his career "building him up" against lesser opponents and in-house fighters.

[Eastbay Giant]

He has a HUGE fan base here in San Francisco. HUGE. If he were to fight in a Place such as the Cow Palace it'd sell out quick.

Exactly. Arum wasn't fooling no one, but he kept trying to low ball Donaire. Boxing fans in the Bay know what it is.

And back at the Top Rank Offices!

Wow, thats a shocker.

Wasn't there an article recently saying that Arum was going to try to get Donaire paid $1mil within 6 months?

Guess DLH was able to promise that sooner.

No wonder he was so desperate to find his wallet.

we will most likely never get donaire vs juanma/gamboa now, that sucks
