    You know damn well that Arum loves to let things "marinate" until he's good and ready.
    I don't understand why people are so freaken angry about Juanma vs Gamboa not happening. It probably never was that great of a fight anyway. We got two great Juanma vs Salido fights instead. What more can you ask for?

      You're a moron. Did you even see how full Staples Center was tonight?

        umm nonito can't even sell out the HOME DEPOT CENTER, which seats like 6k people max.

        Mares drew a lot at the staples center, i'd say about 5 or 6k according to what steve kim said. It'd depend on the undercard.[/QUOTE]

        I think after tonight, you can get that fight sold out.

          Steve Kim, who was AT the staples center, reported that there were about 4 or 5k people there, ******.

              In hindsight Gamboa would probably have destroyed him. But at the time the fight was hot and Juanma still hadn't been exposed yet.

                This is true. And I'm fully aware that Mares is a draw, his fans love him. Donaire? Not so much, he has trouble and peaks at 3 or 4k at the Home Depot Center.

                  If they make this fight in California it will sell out! Mares will bring in the Mexican fans and Nonito will for sure bring in the Filipino contingent.

                  On top of that it is two of the top 10 PFP boxers in the world.

                  Bob doesn't have to be pressured though. He will make this fight and Nonito isn't scared of Mares.

                    I believe this fight will happen. The only time TR and GBP don`t get along is when mayweather is involved.

                    Like one mentioned maidana-karrass and Lara-Martirosyan is proof of that.
