Comments Thread For: Arum: R. Donaire May Be Suffering from Pacquiao Jealousy

[AllEyesOpen]

This is what happens if a woman enters the picture..much more a wife to be a business manager. She might be a smart girl but in this world of boxing and promotions she should leave it to the pros. Arum may not want Donaire in the Pacquiao undercard for a reason...I believe that Arum does not want that Donaire shall be overshadowed by Pacquiao or if Nonito performed too well that there would not anybody stealing each others popularity. Donaire could be developed separately, and with Arum's savvy that is highly possible. Arum knows the strings.
Now, what if Nonito stumbles (I hope not) and lose his next fight. Who will pick him up? There will be lots of second guessings, blaming each other, should have's, could have's and might be too late. And Nonito would just fade away.

I don't think you can steal another fighters popularity if you both share the same fan base. We have Mexican * PR line ups all the time. I think that it's a valid argument that he wasn't being put on an undercard that would help get him a lot of exposure to the common boxing fan.

IMHO it did seem that TR would leave Donaire as an afterthought.

only a dumb person would think that. donair will get paid more now than with top rank due to the fact that golden boy needs donaire & top rank doesnt. they will over pay donaire just to keep him happy. competition for your services is always good, in any field.

arum is full of it!

Arum is full of ****. He is trying to destroy donaire credibility before he goes to golden boy. I hope people dont fall for that old trick! He would of never said that if he knew donaire was gonna still be with him.

Get over it Arum

Woman is the downfall in every warrior There will always be a Delilah in every Samson.

Im a fan of nonito and pac .... accept it or not.. in the philippines or asia.. PAC > Donaire.

Donaire still on the process of building up his fan base. Signing up with golden boy is a bad move.

Lets just hope him the best.... at the end of the day, donaire/pac will give us more exciting fights.

donaire is not in competition with manny. his interview with max kellerman after the fight illustrates that. they want arum's help in helping donaire's career by using manny's fame & by putting him in undercards with manny. i think its a very reasonable request.

I definitely think Nonito should have stayed with Top Rank, not because I am a fan of Arum, which I am not, but because I think they are the better company, and have the better stable of fighters. Like any really boxing fans, I hate the promoters of this sport, and Arum is no different, but I would still take him over Golden Boy.
I do agree with his wife though, Nonito should have been the main undercard fight on all of Manny's last 4 mega fights. Instead he tried to put guys like Pavlik, Duddy, Chavez, fighters with a following but with absolutely no potential for superstar status. Not to mention Nonito is half Filipino, entertaining, highly skilled and has held a major title for like the last 4 years, since knocking out Vic.

sad to say that money is in the center of all these chaos..always putting two main draw fighters in fight cards may not look pleasing to the eyes of promoters who always have, at least one of their eyes glued to their own pockets..again sad to say boxing is part business
