Gamboa being Sued by TR

and then he has the nerve to say that he never accepted this fight.

 

Gamboa really ****ed up

 

It said he accepted a $70,000 advance!!! This is getting ugly.

 

atsch

 

That's hella $$$, that's as much as the PAC Nikey deal .

Floyd to Gamboa: That 70g is not worth your health.

Gamboa: Maybe you are right.

 

Jesus what an idiot.

 

he better hope floyd bails him out.

 

atsch WOW, this guy isnt really that bright!

 

idiot really ****ed his career up

If this is true, and Gamboa spends the next couple years on the sideline not fighting, he only has himself to blame. ****in shame is what it is.

 

Floyd already did...Gamboa health is intact.

 

This situation doesn't involve Floyd in any way, and wow gamboa needs to learn never deal with the devil.

 

***********.com has been advised that a deal was reached for WBA interim-lightweight champion Richard Abril (17-2-1, 8KOs) to face Brandon Rios (29-0-1, 22KOs) on April 14th at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. Rios and Abril were involved in a minor altercation at a press conference last week in Miami.

Rios was intially scheduled to fight Yuriorkis Gamboa, who was moving up by two weight divisions to make the match. However, Gamboa no-showed last week's press conferences in Miami and Los Angeles - and he refused to move forward with the fight, citing differences with his promoters Top Rank and Ahmet Oner.

HBO was scheduled to televise Rios-Gamboa, but the network took a pass on Rios-Abril. Top Rank is currently working on a television deal. Junior welterweight Mike Alvarado will still collide with Mauricio Herrera in the co-feature.

Meanwhile, Top Rank has officially filed a federal lawsuit against Gamboa to recover damages. Among other things, Top Rank claims Gamboa not only agreed to take the Rios fight - he was forwarded an advance on the money [Gamboa allegedly accepted a $70,000 advance]. Gamboa also cost Top Rank thousands of dollars when he allegedly requested the scheduling of a press conference in his hometown of Miami, which he no-showed.

Between the time he accepted the deal on February 16th, and the time he made a decision to withdraw - Top Rank is claiming that a rival promoter [or promoters, indivdiuals outside of Top Rank] spoke to Gamboa and persuaded the Cuban boxer to withdraw from the Rios contest. The alleged culprits have not been named in the legal documents.
