    If has to sign a five year contract to make the fight happen I can understand his reservation. Bob wants to lock him in for the long term which can be good and bad. Nobody can build up a career like Uncle Bob but he does want complete control to map out you career path and gets paid handsomely to do so. I would love to see Gamboa put the smackdown on Bam Bam but not at any cost.

    I think him training with PBF can only be a big big step forward interms of his in ring product. Gamboa has slowly started to become a more complete fighter . . . and if he is working with money he is working with the best in that regard. Career wise, it might be a bit of a gamble to go toward team mayweather but he could learn to become the biggest star in the sport . . . only time will tell.

    i understand he doesnt want to sign a 5 yrs contract with TR
    but if he already signed with this fight, if he agrees with all the publicity, if he made Rios team to fly all the way to Miami, if he knows his fans are gathering in Miami to support him..he better shows his ass or give a really good explanation about what's going on.

    The glass is still half full.........Rios earned a nice share of AAdvantage miles today.
