MANILA, Philippines - Dahilan sa kani-kaÂnÂiÂlang mga sariling interes, hinÂdi maitakda ng Top Rank Promotions ni Bob Arum at ng Golden Boy ProÂmotions ni Oscar Dela HoÂya ang unification fight niÂna unified world super banÂtamweight champion NoÂnito ‘The Filipino Flash’ DoÂnaire, Jr. at Mexican titlist AbÂner Mares.
Gusto ni Arum na ang Top Rank ang magdala ng DoÂnaire-Mares unification fight at isasaere sa HBO.
“Golden Boy would be mentioned and so forth, but it has to be a fight that’s on HBO,†sabi ni Arum. “After all, Nonito Donaire is FighÂter of the Year last year only beÂcause HBO put him on four times.â€
Sinabi naman ni RiÂchard Schaefer, ang Chief ExeÂcutive Officer ng GolÂden Boy, na mismong si Arum ang ayaw makipag-usap sa kanila.
“But Bob Arum is pretty clear that he has no interest whatsoever to work with us and he was very clear, was on the record with that,†ani Schaefer.
Si Donaire (31-1-0, 20 KOs), ang WBO at IBF suÂper bantamweight champion, ay nasa Top Rank, haÂbang si Mares (25-0-1, 13 KOs), ang super bantamÂweight ruler ng WBC, ay naÂsa kampo ng Golden Boy.
