BOB ARUM: A lot of people ask me why am I bringing Nonito Donaire to New York at Madison Square Garden and they point out there are over 2M Filipinos that live in the Los Angeles Area and I tell them Filipinos live all over the United States. There are about 400,000 Filipinos living in the New York Metropolitan area and besides there are a lot of great fight fans in New York and this gives them the opportunity to see this phenomenal fighter, Nonito Donaire, and it’s up close and personal. For Nonito’s future, he is being exposed to the Big Apple, fighting an undefeated fighter. This is a tremendous fight and we are very thankful to HBO for airing the fight. We are going to sell this place out – the Theater has 4500 seats and we are moving on our way to a sell-out. So I am looking forward to this card. People in New York will see this great featherweight – Robert’s brother Mikey Garcia in a tough match and we have a lot of local talent on the card. Saturday, October 22nd will be a great night of boxing. Now I would like to call on Robert Garcia, Nonito’s trainer.
