Last Saturdays destruction of Juanma Lopez at the hands of Orlando Salido put an end to Top Ranks second efforts of making the mega fight Gamboa vs Lopez.
Sorry Bob, you let that fight marinate a little too long.
Because of this, Gamboa lost the opportunity of his biggest pay day at the 126lb featherweight division.
How would you react if the promotional company responsible for getting you the big bucks just cost you 7 figures? .... Move up two divisions, put your undefeated record on the line, and accept 1.1 million that needs to be split among a hand full of other people. (Ahmet Oner, Luis de Cuba, Tony Gonzalez Emmanuel Steward (the would be trainer for Gamboa vs Rios ). ??
I dont think so.
It was time for Gamboa to take matters into his own hands and eliminate some of the middle men with whom he splits a majority of his earnings.
If Gamboa is going to part ways with Top Rank, now is the perfect time, while he has the support of Floyd Mayweather and Golden Boy, and good lawyers.
His stock is rising and the perfect time.
Even HBO has decided that April 14th will not be televised without Gamboa.
Yuriorkis Gamboa is the next money making machine in boxing and Floyd Mayweather knows it. His talent is undeniable and his style will keep fans on the edge of their seats.
Excellent move by Gamboa. The best is yet to come.
