Donaire-Nishioka does 835,000 viewers on HBO

You mean Rios - Alvarado did those numbers.

No, that fight did 816,000. Main event always get a bump in ratings.

I doubt that Arum is expecting him to be the reason why someone buys a ticket. He's utilizing Pac's popularity to get Rigo some attention. BTW, Rigo has only fought on a Pac undercard twice (Cordoba and Kennedy) and is gonna fight on the Pac/Marquez 4 undercard. Arum has done a good job on that front.

Are fans this brainless that they'll buy tickets or tune in to see a crystal-clear mismatch? Fighting an opponent with name-value does not make it competitive.
Donaire vs. Arce will be a white-wash, maybe a career-ending ass whupping.

Arce is not a worthy opponent, but his following is ridiculous. I hope Donaire fights Arce then Rigondeaux, both guys are getting trashed.

Donaire has lost his buzz.Great job arum

That explains why you don't care who Donaire fights. I'm hoping that the Donaire/Arce negotiations fall through and Nonito moves up so all this foolishness can stop.

Damn that sucks. Donaire just doesn't draw. Unless he's knocking you out, he's not that exciting anymore IMO.

And then these ******S wonder why he wants to fight Arce and Mares, he doesn't do 1 million with Nishioka, but they expect him make money with a guy who can't even fill the seats on a Pacquiao undercard.

Then why is he fighting the likes of Narvaez, Mathebula and Nishioka? ******... with all due respect.

One thing is for sure, Rigo got a better US fanbase than all of those 3 guys.

You also gotta consider HBO went up against a Big UFC card with Anderson Silva fighting.

You conveniently forgot to mention he was fighting Stephan ****ing Bonnar. There was no hype behind that fight unless you were a hardcore Silva hugger. Stop the excuses.

Donaire just doesn't have that star quality to him. He's boring out the ring and he has never built up any real.momentum in the ring. I mean Andre ward has a much more boring style but he can get a million views? Guess that tells u everything u need to know.

Donaire can get a million views against the right opponent. Being boring out of the ring has nothing to do with it, Pac has a bland personality and he's the 2nd biggest ppv draw.
