"It's a bulls--- offer," said Arum. "The lawyers are handling it. There is no possible way because we have a commitment to HBO. We're going ahead with that commitment on April 13 on HBO. After that, we'll revisit the situation. So he's going to fight on April 13, and he's going to fight either Rigondeaux or Darchinyan, period, end of story. "Donaire last year was Fighter of The Year. Part of that was his efforts. But, secondly, a lot of the credit has to go to HBO, which afforded him the opportunity to fight four times last year. Four times so that he's Fighter of The Year because of his efforts, and because of Top Rank's efforts, and very importantly, because of HBO. It was HBO and the opportunities that they created and the publicity that they created that helped make Nonito the Fighter of The Year, and you don't turn your back on that, period." Arum said he made a similar offer to Golden Boy for a Donaire-Mares clash on HBO on April 13. "We offered a reasonable amount to them to fight, and I'm not going to negotiate in the media, but we offered them a reasonable amount to fight Mares on HBO on April 13, and they rejected that," said Arum. |
