Comments Thread For: Donaire vs. Mares: Full Contract Details Are Revealed

[whoseyourdaddy]

Contract looks legitimate to me.

Lol, what does that even mean??? A contract is an agreement between two ppm in writing. There is no agreement to be invalidated. Smh

What I am wondering is if Golden Boy was actually serious about the contract or not. Were they serious? Well sending out a proposed contract and then leaking it to the press a few days later can be looked upon as simply looking for press or using the press as a pawn while having their own agenda.

This is all starting to strike me as a big pile of dog poo. If both sides cannot come to an agreement, then state so. But to me it was obvious that Donaire's Camp and Rigondeaux seemed to already be in negotiations. So all we have is a bunch of typed words that mean nothing, with GBP and Top Rank playing the press.

Lol, no, its not. Its basic English. I'm surprised an adult has a hard time understanding that. No good lawyer would attach a prose like that and mean it to apply to both the time and date.

What kind of lawyer would not specify which party is in change of the date? They specified which party is in charge of almost everything related to the fight, but you're telling me they forgot to specify who's in charge of the date, one of the most important parts of the contract? You gotta be kidding me. They obviously meant designated for both date and location.

OK it was technically not broken, but does that invalidate the contract? Yes

you're 44... if you really dont know how a contract works than please stop posting

I'm Donaire's biggest haters on here, but choosing Rigo over Mares isn't a duck at all.

Rigo, stylistically, is a harder fight and actually Mares style plays right into what Donaire likes to do best which is counter punch.

Donaire took the harder fight....period.


FWIW, there is no way in hell Arum would ever let a company promote, and own the rights to one of his fighter's bouts. That makes no sense what so ever from a business stand point and with the GBP robberies, that offer sure sounds like a DLH vs Sturm/Casamayor vs Santa Cruz/ _____ one of the dozen of GBP robberies you can think of.

and after he beats rigo then what he still wont fight mares

I think both sides KNEW this fight want getting signed off, but they both have a position to protect. I didnt believe for one second it was getting done

Arum already had the wheels in motion for Rigo by the looks of things and Schaffer isnt dumb, he knew Arum would do an in-house, but he doesnt want to lose Mares either.

I know exactly how they work. I also know that most come with a non disclosure agreement built in. There is a method to the madness.

Exactly. Like I said it was all about playing the press.

I don't understand why Arum does not want this fight for Donaire??I get it,it's risky..But Donaire is more then capable of winning this fight imo..I would actually pick him to win it...Come on Arum,enough is enough with this guy..
