[Cubanborn87]

not its not easy fight for donaire, bring on a real challenge. I say Rigondeaux!!!

[Cubanstyle]

Would Arum offer Rigondeaux services to Golden Boy for those 3 mil and then set a fight with Donaire vs Darchinyan... just saying

Seemed like last night donaire got the call the offer is legit and changed the subject fast posting pics of his kids.... Lol don't nobody care about that ****, save it for you *****s baby shower... It's obvious donaire is going to duck this fight

Cliffs: donaire is running for the hills

by Cliff Rold - It’s probably too early to speculate.

Let’s go ahead and do it anyways.

Late Friday evening, BoxingScene’s Rick Reeno posted breaking news stories that furthered chatter begun earlier in the week by Golden Boy Promotions head Richard Schaefer.

Claiming no interest in co-promotion, a reported offer by Top Rank’s Bob Arum was made to, in essence, purchase the services of WBC 122 lb. titlist Abner Mares for a unification bout with WBO/IBF titlist and lineal World Champion Nonito Donaire. [Click Here To Read More]

No way Cliff, Arum will shoot that offer down for pride's sake alone. It'll be Donaire-Rigo

[alembic]

I'd love to see Rigo starch Donaire; but the opposite is more likely.

[ddangerous]

In a word, yes.

[gbonafide]

Can't understand why people think Donaire would avoid this fight. He's openly called for Bob to make it. You gotta love Abner but he's a class below in terms of skill.

[thekofixer]

as a fight? sure it is
in terms of it happening? no, it's not
fights that make sense getting made are a rarity these days
this is a good match to see who runs 122 lbs
therefore, it's too good to be true
until it begins, don't believe it

Def worth it that's thefifgtvtomake not Rigondeaux

I doubt GBP would give a fanless prospect like Rigondeaux the 3 million theyre offering for the reigning fighter of the year

[Fighting_Pride]

arum has consistently rejected any potential match up with any GBP fighters, schaefer is starting to look like a complete fool begging arum for a piece of the action, we all know GBP just wants the recognition donaire has which mares doesn't. if it was the other way around, schaefer won't even consider a donaire-mares match up, truth...
