    Why isn't Donaire in the PAC-JMM 3 undercard?

    I hearing all this exposure nonsense, it really doesn't get too much bigger than in a PAC undercard fight. Can I get a logical answer?

    Probably has something to do with money.

      They've had problems like this before. I've read articles concerning Koncz and MP Promotions not wanting him there and other stuff, not too sure, but there were problems with Donaire that I remember reading.

        But Alvarez is a bigger star than Donaire and he's getting a portion of the September PPV money. Why can't Donaire get some of the November PPV money, I'm pretty sure they'll only give him around 1-2 million dollars which is good considering the weight class isn't that well known.

            I just read this which was just posted, he's getting married November 11 and he's scheduled to fight October 1st with an opponent to be named.

            WBC/WBO world bantamweight champion Nonito “The Filipino Flash’ Donaire is ready to face anybody Top Rank promoter Bob Arum picks for a possible fight at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on October 1.

              lol arum said it would be "an overload on the filipino fans". basically meaning he can't make as much money off each of them.

                  This.

                  And being the lead-in to an anticipated rematch that did 500K buys the first time out isn't a bad deal at all, considering it will have more of a promotional push and he'll be very active this fall (fighting in October as well). There's always the Pac-Bradley fight as well.

                    I believe he wants to fight in Oct then fight in Dec on the Cotto-Margarito II undercard.
