It does kinda help Gamboa that he's one of 50's first fighters and 50 can devote more time to him. With that being said, it will be interesting to see how 50 "promotes" or "treats" his other fighters for their upcoming fights. Curious to see if there is some type of favoritism towards Gamboa.
I think Gamboa is "50's" jewel. I think Jackson's whole foray into boxing promotions had much to do with Yuri. Everyone else he and Floyd signed were basically added to support their star, Gamboa. I believe Mayweather saw Yuri as a potential superstar and he shared that view with his (then) friend, Curtis. That's how Floyd sold the idea of promoting to Jackson in the first place. I don't think "50" would've been motivated to take the plunge without a fighter he himself thought had major potential.
