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

[mercadojglb]

I wonder how long is the TR and GBP beef gonna last? This hostility seriously needs to stop before it ends up like Pac and Biggie.

We'll have to see if Nonito and Brandon Rios are still friends after Donaire's new relationship with GBP.

I saw this coming...

Nonito wasn't happy with the way things were going at TR and he probably got tired of how TR treated him. He was always going to live in Pac's shadows along as Pac is still with TR. TR was not going to put him on the undercard of their big fights.

GBP will put him on some of their big cards against good competition instead of fighting bums.

Sorry kiddo but Nonito has one of the best managers in boxing in Cameron Dunkin. Regardless of what some think, Shaw is a great promoter as well so why is it that its everyones fault but his that his career has been lackluster?

Like I said when he continues to fight lackluster comp and cris that Filipinos don't support him, he can't get fights and people are so
Dhow ducking him (which is B.S.) he can't balks it on top rank. I'm loving it and I'm glad he is with GBP so Oscar can deal with this clown.

Because Arum chose to put him on small PPVs instead of campaigning for other fights. The only fight seriously discussed and failed was a darchinyan rematch, already after Darchinyan lost to Agbeko.

Dunkin is a great manager, but that doesnt stop Arum from not making the best match ups. Dunkin manages Pavlik and you can't tell me it was Dunkin who ducked Abraham and not Arum.

Nonito knows that he will be number 2 or 3 with TR and busted his move to his competitor. I think He gave Snob Arum the finger and Oscar made him an offer he couldn't refuse.
I can repect Nonito for his desicion and understand, He wants to be number 1.

Someone photoshop this pic and put Arum and Oscar's faces in place of Pac and Biggie's:

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.

So Montiel is subpar competition? Wow!

No.

Both Montiel and Darchinyan are great wins. The problem is he is the type of fighter who does nothing in between and tries to blame others.

I just hate how be claims no one wants to fight him and that he is some type of victim.

Damn Bob... You're the dumbest smart man I've ever known.... All excited about having the Pacman that you forgot to water the other new plants in your farm. Now Nonito is going to make GBP millions for YEARS... This GBP vs Top Rank stuff won't end well... Just when you thought GBP was getting owned, they sign young guns Khan and Donaire... They would be smart to get Berto as well.... he's due soon

[Perroskis]

Looks like arum should have looked out for the Ides of March

[Phil Ivey]

Donaire will be treated like a god there, GBP knows he's an imminent superstar and they need a new face to GBP, since all the best ones are either old, left or retired. GBP will do good by him, the only thing I'm concerned about is his potential fights with Gamboa/Lopez - seriously I hope they can just work together business wise because they need to work out their petty differences for the benefit of boxing. I mean there really isn't much fights out there for Donaire except Anselmo, Agbeko. Top Rank is seemingly moving away from HBO too so no doubt Donaire took that into consideration. Arum should've known the value in Donaire, because he just lost himself a huge asset.
