Arum recently disclosed that Pacquiao and Donaire will appear in the same card scheduled on November 5 at the Thomas & Mack Center, Las Vegas, Nevada. Donaire (37-3, 24 knockouts) is being included in the card because of the lukewarm reception the Pacquiao-Vargas fight has been receiving. To sell Pacquiao-Vargas, Arum has to beef up the supporting fights and this explains Donaire’s inclusion. Pacquiao joining forces with Donaire in the same card is a rare experience from the standpoint of Filipino fight fans. Ultimately, Filipino fight fans both here and abroad and Philippine pro boxing as a whole figure to be the biggest winners.
