Nonito Donaire and Golden Boy have just made an aggressive move toward dismantling Guillermo Rigondeaux's chances of landing the biggest fight of his pro-career by offering Donaire and Bob Arum $3 million to secure a fight with Abner Mares. This is unprecedented money for a fight so far down the ladder of weight class.
There's more on this courtesy of Dan Rafael's reporting over at ESPN:

Figures they'd throw this kind of money at Donaire just as it was sinking in that I was only a couple months away from savoring the fight I'd most like to see in boxing. Humbug!
