It was the signing to Top Rank for an extra 5 years that was the problem. Not the money. Gamboa is already 30 and 5 years to Top Rank pretty much means his whole career
Exactly... it is understable if it was rios calling him out... and gamboa reluctanly saying fine then we can do it...but then has second thoughts... BUT NO! It was gamboa calling out rios and then saying he agreed to everything on the scene.. so the little ****** deserves all the hate he receives.
My thoughts when the fight was made that it was never gonna happen. I also won't be shocked to see Froch-Bute not happen.
:yep No contracts signed, Gamboa going up two weight classes and Rios not even being able to make weight his last fight... **** wasn't happening. Also, why would Arum risk this fight for Gamboa but refuse to put the Gamboa vs JML fight on? I don't think he gives Gamboa much of a chance, and is feeding him to Rios. Gamboa sensed this and since he DIDN'T sign a contract, got out of a possibly bad situation.
that was fight was stupid anyway. two totaly different weight divisions. gamboa has enough on his to do list around his natural weight with guys like donaire, broner or rigo. same for rios, who should take care of the likes soto, guerrero, vasquez & molina..
****ing little ****** lost my respect and support. I hope he does end up joining up with the Mayweathers. He is already 30 years old, so he is delusional if he thinks, they are going to pass him the torch. GBP just wants a name to feed Broner. You can bet that Gamboa is going to get jobbed vs Broner, just like Marquez was jobbed vs Pac. **** him he deserves it though.
