Donaire's departure from Top Rank was very unexpected from me and I was actually kind of disappointed as well.. Donaire is one of my favorite boxers and I can understand him going to GBP to secure some big fights like Mares and Moreno, but I think he made the wrong choice for the long run.. For some reason, I want to think that Nonito's wife Rachel had something to do with it.. All in all, Nonito shouldn't have just up and left.. He should have talked it over with Arum first and try to settle things.. There might be a burnt bridge now and he may never get to fight the likes of Vasquez Jr, Lopez, Gamboa, Arce and other big names.. I hope this doesn't hurt his career too bad and I really hope that he would return to Top Rank.
I'm in too! Even Arum can't stop the onslaught of Filipino boxers going to enter the sport in the future! I watched a Pacquiao fight in vs the Golden Boy in Manila it is one crazy spectacle!
Dzinziruk was the best available???? He's not even rated at MW and he's #8 (according to Ring) at Jr MW. Give me a ****ing break.
Money filled ambitions. Sign on bonus must have been impressive. That dumb ***** Rachel must have filled his head with **** like, " get the money now, retire earlier , means you won't get hurt when you're slightly older"
I don't know why the couldn't have stayed with Arum for 1 more year and see how things turned out, now were in a freakin legal battle that will sideline one of my favorite fighters for months probably.
He should have just honoured his contract with TR, and then move to GBP. If he's going to remain inactive for the next however many months, he's only got himself to blame.
