What was the excuse for Garcia ducking Gamboa for the IBF back then?

So you wanted the 2010 prospect of the year to fight Gamboa when?

woah!


i did not see this coming.


i think chino maidana getting huge fights with GBP is probably a factor in this.

Well if what we've heard about the Pacman is true, arum has been shafting his fighters for quite some time,

It's so easy to weed out the low IQ posters. Just look for the word "duck" whenever a fighter is embroiled in a financial/legal battle.

The only thing that changes in NSB is the time and date.

Seems like this sort of thing keeps happening.
Different fighter, same Bob Arum.

There are also rumors that the Chavez/GGG fight may be in jeopardy because Arum is forcing Chavez to sign a contract extension for the GGG fight and Chavez doesn't want to do that.


I wouldn't be surprised to see Pacquiao suing Arum in a few years, when it is revealed that Arum never came clean about how much money Pacquiao was truly generating.

What fighter has successfully won this type of legal battle?

When and if that ever happens. That may be the blow that knocks Arum outta boxing. Because then, he would be held 100% responsible for Floyd-Pac never happening.

Chino got Mayweather

Rios got Pacquiao

Donaire was being groomed to be a star for a while and is paid very well.


Mikey still has yet to land his first major fight. He has to be frustrated. He's making as much money as Zou Schming.

I read the text of the lawsuit. If what Garcia alleges is true, then he is correct in saying that Top Rank has him involved in an indentured servitude contract. I hope he wins and is able to get away from Top Rank and hires Al Haymon as his advisor. That way, he will never be taken advantage of again.

That would be great! BUT as of date, Bob Arum has yet to loose a case vs a boxer.

I'm always inclined to side with the fighters on these kind of issues. He will be on the shelf for a while, but hopefully he can get what he wants.
