WBC and WBO champion Nonito “the Filipino Flash" Donaire’s problems do not end with the tiff with Bob Arum’s Top Rank Promotions. A month ago, Donaire, who was fresh off a career-defining win over Fernando Montiel, declared his existing contract with Top Rank as null and void and went on to sign another contract with Golden Boy Promotions.
Donaire claimed that Top Rank Promotions did not keep its end of the deal which was to give the Filipino fighter three fights per year. In their defense, Top Rank Promotions claimed that they were unable to do so because of the medical suspensions that came about after some of Donaire’s fights.
The court designated mediator ruled in favor of Top Rank and Donaire was left without any other choice but to head back to Arum’s stable. However, there is still no news of when Donaire will be fighting again and the WBC is growing weary with all the waiting. Read Full Story
