Donaire wanted to be expose to the filipino crowd, he wanted to be appealing to his people. He was born in the philippines but raise in california. He knows its the filipino people that will back him up all the way and they will be the ones buying tickets and ppv to watch him. Gary shaw can't do that for him. Top Rank Boss Bob Arum can.
It has been about 2 years since his win over vic, but Nonito is only 26 or 25 years old. He has a lot of time to accomplish many things. Before Nonito, Vic fought lots of low level oppenent. Vic had no choice but to accomplish a lot more then Nonito in the 2 years since his defeat. Vic is already 32 I think, if a rematch is to happen it will likely be vics last fight.
I can't see why would anybody argue that Nonito moving to Top ranks is a bad move. Gary shaw isn't going to take nonito nowhere, Bob arum can make him bigger.

Heck Bill Gates declared bankcruptcy. Hell seems everybody's going broke thesedays! Shaw is on the downside. You've got to admit he's rep is on the decline. We rarely hear his name with all these big fights lately. Unlike before he was all over these monumental fights. If I'm not mistaken he was the promoter of the Lewis-Tyson fight. The big dogs today is Bob and Oscar. So back to the Donaire decision, not a big mistake. Again, it could all be bad luck and worse timing.
