Elias Nassar, manager of WBC/WBA super flyweight champion Vic
Darchinyan stated that negotiations for rematch with Nonito Donaire
have collapsed. Nassar said the Donaire camp have failed to sign the
contract after six weeks and they are now back to square one. Vic
Darchinyan also stated he is disappointed in Nonito Donaire’s failure
to sign the contract. "We signed the deal two days into talks,"
said Nassar. "We were there waiting for Donaire to make up his mind
on what he wanted to do. It’s easy to point the finger at who didn’t
want the fight. It’s the party who doesn’t sign a contract."

Vic Darchinyan’s last six fights including, Christian Mijares,
Joseph Agbeko, Jorge Arce, Z Gorres and Dimitry Kirilov have taken
collectively two weeks in total to finalize and put to bed.

"Vic Darchinyan is not fighting junior flyweights like Nonito Donaire
to make a name for himself. We fight the best and we will continue
to fight the best."

Vic Darchinyan also voiced his disappointment.

"I’m the unified champion. I shouldn’t be waiting for Donaire. He
thinks I’m waiting six weeks for him to make up his mind. I want to
be a four or five division titlist, not wasting time for Princess
Nonito to figure out if he wants to fight.

"Nonito knows what will happen if we fight. I will knock him out. It’s
probably a smart move not to fight someone who will wreck your career,"
fightnews.com cited Darchinyan as saying.
