Comments Thread For: Nonito Donaire in High Network Demand, Says Bob Arum

[TOBYLEE1]

These "trash" fights are no worse then Martinez's latest streak

Nonito has more opportunities than Martinez to secure good named fighters.

Well than why has Bob made fights like Narvaez, Vazquez Jr, and Mijares for Nonito lately???

Narvaez was a tiny guy fighting at 118 for a title. Vazquez Jr had been KO'd in his only step up in competition. Mijares hasn't had a good win since 2008 against Sasakul and that was at 2 divisions below 122, he hasn't done anything at 122.

When it was suppose to be Donaire-Terrazas, I was still hoping for Donaire-Nishioka or Donaire-Rigondeaux, but Terrazas was still a pretty good fight. He did beat Montiel. But now it's Mijares???? Are you kidding me????

Barker was bulls**t, pointless. He should have just fought Macklin last October. Macklin was a good fight though. I mean, Macklin was one of the highest rated MW's and he really beat Sturm, and should have had a title going into that fight.

Narvaez had no business fighting for a title at 118, WV2's only step up against Arce he got TKO'd, and Mijares hasn't had a decent win in 4 years and that was at Super Flyweight.

I don't see why they didn't just go for Nishioka in February and Arce in July.

Bull**** from a Pirog cheerleader.

At least Martinez is finishing them off.

Whats Pac and Donny doing? Letting undersized underdog opponents reach the final bell?

****, how ****ty was Pirogs last opponent and which round did he KO him in?
Oh that's right, not even Pirog is finishing dudes off like Sergio.

Go back 4 years and that Mijares fight was the most talked about fight for Nonito!

Just relax!!! Nonito's not a ducker like Floyd! You will see what's ur wishing for!

Lol... The fact that they mention people like Arce and is fighting Mijares something tells me Donaire won't be fighting Rigo or Nishioka even tho Arum mentioned him but I think he just did it to throw us off. I personally don't care to watch Donaire anymore, he's fighting ****ty @ss opposition lately and he just goes in the ring to show off.

And no Donaire does not have all the time in the world. He is already 30 and look at the way his face swells up when he gets hit and that was Vazquez barely tagging him.

I agree Donaire needs to be off the p4p list if he keeps taking these trash fights.

Donaire appears to be fighting 4 times this year compared to the 2 times per year for the guys above him on many p4p lists. No other highly rated guy really gets this type of opportunity and takes it. When you compare the opposition from those p4p fighters, it is pretty good plan for Donaire, at least to build him up for bigger fights down the line. Donaire is not that well known to be a PPV star yet, and to make him that star seems to be the goal for Top Rank and the networks. They know Pacquiao's leaving next year and they have the next best and popular pinoy boxer to hopefully fill the spot. This particular market is hot and they don't intend to let it cool out anytime soon.

For a guy with 9 fights under his belt, if Nonito beats him, guess what the excuse will be by critics such as yourself?
