I'm sure a huge signing bonus is involved but other than that I don't understand this move by Donaire.

After Mares (if he wins the Showtime tourney) what other big fights can Golden Boy offer?

Not to mention the lawsuit that Arum is going to bring, which may very well keep ND on the shelf for a bit. Makes very little sense with all the momentum he's recently gained.

it's not too much, Viper. that type of thing really hurts boxing. some of my friends used to order boxing and UFC PPVs and watch both boxing and MMA, now they hardly ever watch boxing because of all the bullshit. i've talked a fair amount of shit about the UFC and MMA in the past but i might start watching it because boxing honestly doesn't have much to offer.

I can't stand that MMA shit and would never turn away from boxing in favour of what I consider to be total crap aimed at a kiddie audience.

i would. two athletes fighting for a title with 1 title per division, actually fighting live challengers once they've some success, and no chumps making[Berto] more than they deserve? i watch a lot of sports, everything from golf to formula one. i can respect any athletes doing something in the sport and like watching sports more than movies or TV shows, buying some UFC cards and having people over wont hurt my pride too bad lol.

i might like boxing more but i would get along just fine watching old boxing fights and current MMA fights. i don't ever really buy PPVs as it's because there's nothing to buy anyway, whether i like it or not the UFC does put on interesting matchups. i might not care about cats rolling around on the ground and kicking each other but it sure as shit beats a Mayweather sparring session or Pac beating the breaks off of a questionable opponent. boxing in my opinion hasn't even really put on a big fight of interest for some time now. Pac and Mayweather didn't even fight and they would have made probably 100x more than 1 of the top paid MMA fighters would make each.
