the thing with these three guys is they got so big they don't need arum anymore and can make more money. Gamboa isn't in the same boat yet and maybe never will be.

I'm sure Oscar, Cotto, and Floyd had teams of lawyers and people looking into their contracts and having to put up their own money to get out, it's not as simple as it looks and things can get very messy. A good example is Donaire who was walking around as pretty much a Golden Boy fighter, but he didn't realize how long Arum's leash is and is now back in the Top Rank stable.
A contract is a contract and unless there is some loophole, like Floyd being able to buy his out for less that a million (which I'm sure arum learned from since then) you're pretty much stuck until it expires.
Gamboa had a worse situation because he has two promoters. Personally I think the bigger problem might be with Ahmet Öner than with Top Rank. I'm sure he's fighting thinking "WTF am I paying Öner for when Top Rank is basically doing all the work?" I kinda have a feeling if he can get rid of Öner somehow Gamboa would be fine and happy fighting under top rank. Cuz as of now he has two promoters taking a % of his money, not to mention his manager, his trainer and whoever else he might be paying.
