    Gamboa took a $70K advance on the fight. Taking the money is probably viewed as a contract by the courts, hence the lawsuit.

    Pretty much especially if it says that on the Memo of the check.


    I have loaned dudes money on the memo area of the check I write "Loan to be paid back in full within ( whatever about of time we agree on)

    I have won a lawsuit like this, he took advance money he is ****ed.

    **** knows what he actually agreed to when he took the advance, though. I wouldn't be surprised if he agreed to the fight and the purse and then received a contract with a stipulation that he sign a new shitty deal with Top Rank, etc. But he took advance money for the fight, so he has to sign whatever they give him, right? :nut

    A boxer taking money and not knowing what they were really getting themselves into? This has NEVER happened with ANYONE in boxing. Especially someone linked to Arum. Nonsense. :-(

    Point is Gamboa ****ed up. But he is not the villain here as everyone is making out to be because they believe all the stupid **** Arum throws out.

    Do you even read what you post? You say we don't know what he agreed to and then go and make up what you think it MIGHT say. Looks like he cashed the check and has no intention of giving it back if it is the subject of a lawsuit.

    Gamboa surely ****ed up.. But like you said, people are taking Arum's word as truth when they've not heard anything from the other side.. Instead of waiting to hear what really happened people want to point fingers and lay blame, and Arum is great at placing the blame on others. Arum's fighters want to face everyone, almost everyone outside of Top Rank is scared to face Arum fighters. ESB.

    So you take a cash advance, and request a Press Conferance for your Home town fans because you didn't accept anything, signed or not implied acceptance is the same ****... No one knew he was gonna ***** out, even though he verbally accepted the fight and even Received an advance its the same **** :deal

    Can you explain why Abril was already available, there, and when asked for a fight got one almost immediately?

    Do you? I don't know what he agreed to when he took the money, but I do know that he stated that the fight contract he received (after he took the money) had a contract extension stipulation in it. :deal
