I feel like hes setting himself for a fall, hes not very active and hes not fighting alot of elite fighters like himself. Why is he not scheduled already to fight someone? he last fought two months ago, he seems very dis interested in his fights these days too, i dont see any hunger anymore. Anyone reckon the money is getting to his head?
He was in that HBO dinner and photo shoot last week so he'll probably be fine. 2 months after a fight is a short time to have a scheduled date already.
Dude should have fought to be in Miami though

He messed up when he signed with 50. He should have at least been smart and signed with Haymon that way he would have secured fights down the line. Him signing with a guy that knows jack sh/t about boxing politics was a very bad move.
gamboa tries to sell equipment and sh#T on twitter. he's got well documented financial issues.
he split with TR and moved to 50 cent. 50 cent has done a horrible job with him.
cubans are hard to promote, but gamboa had a style that could have made for exciting fights. he's always been a knockout loss waiting to happen, but in spots he looked spectacular when he was at more reasonable weights and in his prime.
i think he had a pipe dream about fighting floyd mayweather. he pulled out of the rios fight, and signed with what was "tmt" when 50 cent and floyd jr were friends, thinking that he was a possible floyd opponent.
total idiot listening to other total idiots.
he's also past his prime for sure. tiny little guy in his 30's. higher weights than before. long layoffs. huge amateur career that took up most of his prime years. he's looked like SH#T lately
it's a shame, but he's all done. i just wish he and juanma fought when juanma was near his peak. the gun was jumped when people called those two top 10 p4p, but the fight would have been sensational, given the power and leaky defense.
yeh it would of been a sensational knock out for gamboa, its such a shame hes just in limbo at the moment

I don't blame 50. Gamboa's name has surfaced in the Biogenisis scandal and his last 3 or 4 fights have been ridiculously boring. He's shooting himself in the foot.
50 ****ed him over. Same **** with Dirrell. Waste of talent. Dirrell had the style to give anyone fits at 168/175, probably the best guy to fight Andre Ward. What a waste.

Gamboa hasn't made much money in his career. In fact, there's word that he's having money troubles. Yuri needs to find a sense of urgency; he won't be able to fight forever.
He signed with 50 cents thinking that he was going to be a superstar since at the time 50 and Floyd were tight.
A few HBO showings on the big stage they might have miscalculated his popularity.
I hope he gets his career on track cause he is in limbo right now. That happens often with a fighter the goes up and done the scale instead of dominating one specific weight class
