Bob Arum: HBO wants to go straight to Rios-Gamboa, No interest in Doubleheader(Video)

[No-mas-tias]

C'mon, we all know Bob. he would never put two of his cash cows together in a fight without first milking them against 2nd tier opponents.

Jangles, wanna bet? Huh, huh? C'mon lets bet pleassssssssssse!!

this is ****ed up... gamboa needs to at least get a tune up at 135 lbs.

[SCEN3RY]

bob arum knows theirs no money in gamboa so hes gonna sacrifice him to rios...funny if it back fires on him... this is good tho

I heard it was Gamboa who asked for this fight. I'm pretty sure Bob isn't forcing him to take it. And still, Gamboa is an undefeated crowd pleaser, there's no harm in him winning. Don't count Gamboa out-if he can add the weight appropriately, he'll be game.

Fuck Arum's doubleheaders. All they do is drain the fans' time and money.

So Gamboa would just jump right into 135?!?

It's not necessarily a bad idea and it's been done for many years in Boxing. Especially for guys like Gamboa and Rios who in the Boxing world are known but not remotely close to being known in the big scheme of things, a HBO double header would more than likely help try to push the inevitable fight. Cotto vs Gomez / Margarito vs Cintron and Trinidad vs Joppy and Hopkins vs Holmes are examples of the double header scenario.

gamboa is crazy if he takes this fight without fighting at 130/135 first.

As fan of both gamboa & rios I don't like it one bit.

I agree..............

From what I see this looks like Arums attempt to create a star to match up with Pacquiao in the future.
