    the reason rojas got offered 300k is because he brings more to the table plain and simple he is as popular if not more, bring a green belt to the fight and its also entetaining

      No being a bad ass and defending two titles all around the world and kicking ass does though.

        They just told HBO they didn't want the fight.

        Then they would lie to the public, The problem is when you fight fans who support people like Juanma or gamboa who feel like "see caba price himself out" and all this based on Arum...A man who lies for a living, a man who said "I was lying yesterday and telling the true today" Yeah that man.

            GTFOH with that BS, I like Gamboa and all and i think he would fight caba without Arum around him but they duck caba period, All that BS about Rojas bringing more to the table is just that BS.

                Is this a joke?

                Cabellero is THRICE the fighter Gamboa and Maricon are put together.

                Gamboa and Maricon are TERRIFIED of Caballero... as is Arum.

                    jreckoning, no offense but you getting anoying with your "they didn't want the fight".... those words come from the promoter of the guy who didn't accept the deal. of course he's gonna say that gamboa pussied out, wtf else u want him to say? "my guy caba is a ***** and he didnt want to fight"... he admits it himself that a 250k offer was made, wtf.

                    it's not about who brings money to the table, i hate when fights dont happen because "one good fighter has no fanbase". it's just that gamboa is the champ, he has the hbo date and he's one of the hottest names in those weightclasses... everybody talks about him as being the future (or one of) boxing. he's offering caballero (a titleless good fighter) a good payday, hbo exposure (that he absolutely needs) and a ***in title shot...... how in hell was that a low offer? if anything it was too generous IMO... remember the HBO budget was 600-750k max.. anything more than 250k for caba would be no sense.

                    btw, this is far from gamboa's highest payday, it's one of the lowest actually... friends of him have reported digits that are amazing for a fighter with so few fights, Arena pays him extremelly well. dude was already millionaire before having his 1st pro fight and he makes very high digits everytime he gets into the ring... also, remember the "he wanted 1M to fight Caballero" also comes straight from DiBellas mouth, this as a source has 0 value.
