BOXINGSOCIALIST EXCLUSIVE: BOB ARUM 'HBO WOULDN'T TAKE MIJARES FOR DONAIRE' - Boxing Socialist

[Violent Demise]

HBO makes a good decision by not accepting Mijares. Only to follow it up with a bad one. Mathebula is no more of a threat than Mijares

Agreed, chasing those trinkets aye

Agree. This is a complete waste of time. He shouldn't be fighting anyone other than Nishioka, Rigondeaux (thought that one would likely be a stinker), or Mares. Or Moreno if he wants to move up.

[ElTerribleMorales]

good thing they didn't, Donaire should get a flush kick in the ass for following up with such weak opposition after a somewhat bland showing, fight Mares, Agbeko, or Moreno and stop fighting smaller guys

[SweetPea]

Donaire barely draws any fans or ratings, he's in no place to get money from HBO for B-level opponents.

This is another example where HBO falls in love with a guy because he's talented and doesn't force him to fight legit dangerous opponents.

There both mismatches. What would be the fucking difference?

[Rantcatrat]

Yes, Mathebula isn't anything to write home about. The ONLY redeeming quality is that it is a unification fight, which doesn't happen all the time. It doesn't add any merit to the selection though, when you consider the other possibilities.

[IamInuit]

Hbo should not be picking fights period! or deciding directly or indirectly who fights whom. These broadcaster/promoters have done more to fuck over this sport than anyone along with their conjoined twin PPV.
