Nonito Donaire Jr., will fight Abner Mares in a super bantamweight unification title bout only if the Mexican’s promotional and television handlers agree to promoter Bob Arum’s terms.
Where in the world, wondered a nosy, world-class boxing chronicler, can you find a fighter with great credentials that could land only 49 punches in one bout?
Veteran promoter Bob Arum wants the truth, no matter how small, no matter who gets hurt.
There was, thanks in part to Miguel Cotto, relief for poor fight fans who got indefinitely pinned to the floor waiting for a go-signal to the Floyd Mayweather Jr.-Manny Pacquiao super fight.
It’s odd how majority of expectant fight fans had never entertained the ugly possibility of the Super Fight drifting into a dumb, tasteless anomaly.
Even Nonito Donaire Jr. has something to say about the raging drama between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Promoter Bob Arum is not discounting the possibility of his prized ward, Manny Pacquiao, battling Floyd Mayweather Jr. this year.
If a deal is reached for the megabuck bout, Arum said it could happen in November, not on May 5 as fight fans envision, or even on June 2 or 9, the date the 80-year-old promoter wants Pacquiao’s next fight to be penciled in.
Manny Pacquiao’s next opponent will finally be known with the arrival of promoter Bob Arum in the country Tuesday.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. will be allowed to serve his prison sentence until after he fulfills his obligations to a May 5 fight date his camp has penciled in Las Vegas, a judge ruled Friday in the Nevada gambling haven.
Top Rank promoter Bob Arum is scheduled to fly to Manila this Tuesday to discuss the next fight of eight-division world champion Manny Pacquiao.
Twice during this past holiday season, Manny Pacquiao announced his possible fights for year 2012.
