Comments Thread For: Arum: Donaire-Darchinyan Rematch Likely For November

[bojangles1987]

Yes it is, and its a smart business move. What these fanatical Rigo fans don't understand is that Donaire is a much more marketable product. He doesn't just outpoint the opposition, he provides the drama for a potential spectacular KO every time he fights.

He has blown out many highly ranked opponents, is very articulate, has high ethical standards, cuts across demographic lines, so from a marketing perspective - Donaire is good for business, and Arum is wise old businessman.

Donaire will blow out Darchinyan and put to rest the claims that it was just a lucky punch the last time. Then Donaire will notch a few more spectacular wins and be resurrected in the top P4P where he rightfully belongs.

If Rigo can hold the title for a year or so, Donaire will be primed and ready looking for that much anticipated rematch - and uncle Bob wins again.

It's crap. He could knock out a number of people who actually matter at 122 or 126 and accomplish the same thing you're saying here. Why would anyone care about Nonito fighting Darchinyan?

If he's fighting a rematch, fight Rigondeaux again. Otherwise move up and move on.

can't see him doing better than the first fight

i think this rematch will just lower donaire's stock and have people think less of him(as if it they wont already with such a pointless and sht fight)

Vic is gonna get iced again. I'd rather see Darchinyan/Montiel. All I want to know is, who is Rigo gonna fight next?
