    The OP is a joke....Donaire is not a punk clown, he needs to focus on his next opponent.

    Maybe you think he's Floyd Mayweather who only calls people out on twitter.

    Dude get a clue, Donaire doesnt need to distract himself calling people out.

    I like Rigondeaux and not really a fan of Donaire but does Rigondeaux even deserve a shot at this point? I mean he only had 9 fights.

    the fight depends on Arum...you guys should know by now if its good for boxing, its probably not gonna happen

    if Donaire says yes right now how dumb is he gonna look when Arum makes him look like a ***** duck

    well I didn't expect Donaire to fight him at the first place and I will be very surprised if he does. One of the reasons is also your friend Bob Arum. Rigo is very high risk possibly bad match up for Donaire for no reward. The only think that he can win of this fight is the respect of the hard core fans. By fighting Arce he will get a lot more money and he will get important exposure to the Mexican fan base. After that he will move north and ignore Rigo. That's the reality of boxing at the moment and I notice that people discuss more busyness and deals than boxing those days. Also the two most talked fights on this forum are Vitali-Lewis 2 and Pac-Floyd if you see the trend...

    He has a fight scheduled for two weeks from now. Would you like him to sign a contract the day after Rigo fights when he himself fights in two weeks' time?

    Did you see how empty the Rigo/Ramos fights' stands were?

    Donaire is past the point of gaining boxing recognition. He is at the point of capitalizing on his position.

    I hate to burst your bubble, but Donaire vs. Nishioka is four times the more significant fight than Donaire vs. Rigondeaux is.

    And Donaire vs. Arce makes probably 50% more money than does Donaire vs. Rigondeaux.
