Comments Thread For: Donaire-Arce: Arum Hopes To Finalize in a Few Days

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Top Rank promoter Bob Arum is working on finalizing a deal for Nonito "The Filipino Flash" Donaire to defend his WBO super bantamweight/junior featherweight title against Mexican warrior Jorge Arce in Mexico on December 15.

Arum told the BoxingScene.com/Manila Standard "we are working on it. Hopefully we'll be able to work things out by Wednesday or Thursday."

Donaire who is coming off an impressive 9th round TKO win over Japanese southpaw and WBC champion emeritus Toshiaki Nishioka said last Saturday that his doctors told him he would need to rest his injured left hand for one month before he could work the punch-mitts or the heavy bag.

Ask Bob Arum. He promotes both of them.

Glad it`s happening very soon. This fight was inevitable. Arum was going to make it no matter what. Now Donaire has 2013 to fight the like of mares, moreno, rigo etc. Personally I would like to see Donaire fight the winner of mares-moreno then Rigo after.

Oh Please. Aren`t you a Floyd fan? This is a good business move by arum and Donaire. Rigo doesn't have any fanbase at all and does not even have a good pro record.

He will get his shot later, that's if his chin does not get shattered fighting C level fighters.

I can't wait 'til Bob Arum is no longer involved in Top Rank. Boxing will be much better when he's gone. The bad thing is that Al Haymon will still be around!!!

..and golden girls will still be around ..and they will take boxing to the gayest level like protecting canelo till he's 35 years old...

This is a non fight. Arum is condescending the public again. I'll be boycotting this farce. No drama. It's not worth seeing.

I hate Arum too but lets look at a few recent fights. Arum did make Chavez/Sergio and Rios/Alvarado.
