hope that Donaire's side will consider this as well.
I think he should do the opposite. Why would he limit his fights to once a year? He's already old, and the longer he stays in boxing, the higher the risk he will lose due to his age. I think he should have more fights so that he can accumulate more money once he retires
This makes sense and it made me think.
Although perhaps Donaire has his reasons on why he is limiting himself the a fight once a year. It could be various reasons such as wanting to maintain his ranking, wanting to enjoy life and not much focus into boxing, and maybe he has other important errands to do and to prioritize over his career for the time being. But this really has a point, the more he take a slow pacing in his boxing career, the higher the possibility he would lose on his next fights due to age, strength, and stamina reasons.
Maybe he is prioritizing his health right now, we don't really know. We can only suggest and the final decision is still up to him to make after all. But yes, the earlier he gets done with all of these matches, the higher his rate of winnings because he's still in his prime years, where he can utilize his all might. It's a good input that he can also earn well as long as he can so he can enjoy his retirement at peace when the time comes. And he won't need to forcefully go back to boxing because of monetary reasons after he retired.
