its a tune up bro, before the tune up, before the tuneup..... quit hating

and lets not forget that this tune up is after a tune up he just had last February.

I just want to know what they're tuning up for.

how much does he get paid a fight? hes probably just trying to milk that title and p4p status for awhile before stepping up the competition. Thats how I see it.

It's been pretty terrible so far actually. It's been pretty much a Golden Boy, and Haymon showcases. For example look at this Friday Taylor-Traux and Lara-Hearns fight...Enjoy the night of fights.

I will, Lara is fighting. I guess you have high standards for FRIDAY shows. =/

I know he be getting 6 figures, it's like he steps up every 4 years. 2007, Darchinyan, 2011 Montiel, who knows 2015 might be Gary Russell Jr. He needs 4 years of tune ups for this level of fighters.

I have high standards for what Shobox used to stand for, I have high standards for what premium networks pay for. And, I have high standards for fighters on the level of Lara. So yes I have high standards that don't like to be fed B.S.

BTW, LOL @ the agenda and bias here. I'm going to cancel my HBO subscription if they show garbage like Broner-Sykes/Clay and Donaire-Mathebula. And, I'm going to get Showtime to enjoy Lara-Hearns.

If its not Arce this fall, its going to be Mijares.

thats the way its looking, unless donaire plans on fighting 3 more times this year, nishioka gave up his title for nothing. i dont see how that fight doesnt get made this year.

I like Donaire a lot but for him to down Rigo for his lack of name recognition and then turn around and have this guy as his next opponent is just wrong and it needs to be said.

Yeah, you on it. I'm suspecting Donaire knows fighting Rigo would be a big risk.

Rigo should pull a abril to try to get the fight
