Comments Thread For: Arum Wants Donaire-Walters, Not Rigondeaux Rematch

[HeroBando]

Arum it seems the older he gets the more he tries to control the sport too much. He needs to stop ignoring Rigo, or at least have the common courtesy to cancel his contract so the man can get with a promoter who believes in him. This is ridiculous. The man flat out schools his golden calf, and Arum won't even give the man the time of day. Pathetic.

WTF are you talking about? He's headlining HBO against a guy who'd never sniff HBO otherwise. What more is he supposed to do for him? Genetically engineer some decent opponents?

There was a thread here like last week, turns out many "hard core" fans here (JLoro and company) have ZERO interest in these midget weightclasses. Help me out, how many 122 or under fights were shown on HBO in the 5 years before Donaire crossed over from Showtime? I believe 0

That reply was about Vic losing to Agbeko but still taking a rematch against a good talent like Donaire and fighting his fight!!! No disrespect to the fighters homie

Humm, I said Agbeko never had a meaningful fight at 118, you replied with Agbeko beat Vic at 122, which is wrong. Whatever. I don't really wanna see that Rigo Donaire rematch, not competitive at all and I don't believe Donaire can adjust. It's fine to recognize another guy is better than you, else all these Floyd opponents would have to retire from the sport

Of course Uncle Bob dont want a rematch...he is still biting his ass that he let Donaire fight Rigo the first time...

[MDPopescu]

Rigo should leave.... Arum has no other fighter to offer him other than a Donaire rematch

Of course he should leave... But who wants him?

[MDPopescu]

Who the fcuk is Walters?

... some bloke...

GBP would have him in their stable and access to his titles. Plus they have the guy who beats Donaire and could try and have one of their guys beat him

Re-Matches

Arum is right. Forget a re-match. Move on, even if you were robbed. The fighters will come out much better in their careers, if they just move on, and forget about re-matching.

Do you think that GBP would sacrifice Leo Santa Cruz for Rigo's sake?

Sacrafice?
No, they'd probably put him in there with Rigo and judges who tend to favor activity in a fighter.

Saturday, Donaire had the look of kinda a shot, past it fighter. Arum looking to use whatever's left of Donaire reputation to springboard this kid.
