If you listen to the folks at Top Rank and on Nonito Donaire's team, Jorge Arce priced himself out of challenging for Donaire's junior featherweight belts on HBO on Oct. 13. Although Arce most likely could have enjoyed a career payday in the mid-six figures for what figured to be a fun fight -- but ultimately a loss for the Mexican brawler -- he went shooting for the moon and was, from what I was told, asking for an absurd $850,000. That's more than Donaire's contract minimum for title defenses and probably more than double Arce's best purse.
