Nonito “The Filipino Flash” Donaire will receive the biggest prize he has ever received in his boxing career in his fight against WBO/WBA bantamweight champion Fernando Montiel this coming February 19th at the Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas, Nevada.

According to the report, Donaire will receive a guarantee prize of $375,000 or P16.5 M in his attempt to snatch the title from Montiel, the reason why he is undergoing an intensive training before the fight.

According to Bob Arum, promoter of Top Rank, other bigger fights are already lined up for Donaire once he succeeds in Doinaire vs Montiel fight. And once his performance gives a very good impression, he will receive a much higher prize.

One of the possible boxers lined up for Donaire is the WBO featherweight champion Juan Manuel Lopez of Puerto Rico.

Earlier, Donaire said that this will be his last fight in the 118-pound or bantamweight division. After this, he will step up to 122-pound or super bantamweight division, or 126-pound or featherweight division.

Even if Donaire will receive a huge amount of guaranteed prize, it is still far much less than the guaranteed prize that 8-division world champion Manny Pacquiao will receive in his fight against Sugar Shane Mosley on May 7th in Las, Vegas, Nevada. In Pacquiao vs Mosley fight, Pacquaio has a guarantee prize of $15 M or P660 million.
