Comments Thread For: Paulie Malignaggi Backing Donaire's Play To Jump Ship

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Logic says that things are going to be a little awkward, at least for a while, for blossoming superstar Nonito Donaire. A few weeks back the Fil-Am fighter made headlines when it was announced that he had opted out of his promotional union with Top Rank by signing an exclusive deal with Golden Boy Promotions, a move that some backed and others couldn't quite fathom.

I'm not a big fan of Paulie but he's speaking the truth.

Everyone is *****ing about Nonito wanting to move on but besides the Montiel fight Top Rank didn't do nothing for him, fighting on undercards and headlining crap PPV's didn't do nothing for his career.

OR...

you could look at it the other way around. Maybe they tought Donaire's KO over Darchinyan was a fluke and he was not ready because before that Nonito didnt do ****

Possibly he was not yet ready to face the likes of Agebko and with careful matchmaking facing bums they made him face Montiel at the right time.

You guys are pretty THICK. Don't you STILL even UNDERSTAND that Top Rank has a VALID contract with Donaire expiring on June 25th of THIS year, still THREE MONTHS AWAY.

And in that contrac t, is a LEGAL clause which states that Top Rank have the OPTION of extending the contract for ONE calandar year, which option Top Rank has stated publically it intends to to exercise.

AND that even WITHOUT that option, the PRESENT contract contains clauses which EXTEND the contract by the amount of medical suspensions suffered by Donaire during the life of the contract.

THIS happens to be 2 six month periods, that is ANOTHER year. So even without the option, Donaire's contract STILL has another year and 3 months to run.

So why the hell would Malignaggi be so DUMB as to say what he has just said, as if Donaire was as free as a bird, to fly away whenever he felt like.

One of the foundations of civilized life is the legal contract, binding parties to COMMIT to certain actions. Without legal contracts, even though the US is the most lawyer ridden country in the world, weall would be in such a MESS that nothing ever would work properly, and civilization would be doomed.

Malignaggi is just "too quick off the mark" here and obviously has NOT followed the situation at all. And you guys who are so much in agreement with him, show a real lack of common sense....to say the very, very least.

Donaire's contract, as far as I can see the published facts, runs until June 20-25th 2013.

And there's nothing that Donaire or Golden Balls can do about it, unless Top Rank wishes to let him leave.

Yep. Gotta agree with Paulie 100%.
