Donaire is paving the way for how often fighters should fight

[KO'er]

Rather than this crap twice a year gimmicky thing ATM (Pacman, Mayweather before, most of the top stars) or this once a year thing (Bradley, Mayweather ATM).

Donaire has said he wants to fight again in March or April, after fighting 4 times last year. This is the way it should be, not once or twice a year. Big up Nonito!

yeah would be awesome to have big fights like every month. But they'd probably get overwhelmed sometimes

It's easy to fight 4 times in a year when you only fight bums.

he is paving the way on how fighters should be drug tested

To be fair to other fighters, HBO giving a fighter 4 dates is extremely rare. It isn't a privilege everyone has. Had HBO only given Donaire two dates, I'm not so sure he would have fought more than those 2 times. But then again, HBO is probably paying the Bertos of the world in 2 fights the same amount Donaire is getting paid for 4 fights so it evens out.

You can't compare Pac and Mayweather to Donaire. They've been in the game for a long time and every one of their fights is on PPV now. It's unrealistic for them to fight three times a year.

Leo santa cruz is paving the way he fought 5 times.

Pac & Floyd have already turned the corner so their slide shows up much quicker if they fight often. Donaire will be 31 and thats NOT young for his weight class so he needs to grab all the brass rings available to him now! Theres NO multi-offers$$$$$ at his class (122-130) so why not get busy more often! Making the most money doesn't mean your the most skilled it does have alot to do with promotion and the avalibilty of other fighters who can draw. To have 5 fighters within your division that are popular is the easiest way to promote you. If an established fighter gets into fighting shape and fights twice within a 5 to 6 month period he can easily take off the rest of the year and come back again with 2 more the next year. When developing a fighter who has promise he needs to fight once every 5 weeks as he moves from prelim distances to semi-main goes. Ray

Donaire not making Mayweather or Pacquiao money either though...if he was do you honestly think he would be fighting 4 times a year....*** NO!
