Comments Thread For: Yuriorkis Gamboa vs Chris John Not Likely, Says DuBoef

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

According to Top Rank's President, Todd duBoef, a WBA unification between the organization's two "super champions" at featherweight, is not likely to take place. DuBoef doesn't believe the fight is possible because of the high financial comfort that John receives for fighting at home in Indonesia. It would take a lot of money to lure John to the United States for a Gamboa clash, but there is no demand for the fight in the American market.

You ain't s..t if you don't fight in the US, no matter if you think you are the best in the world. Get out of your comfort zone and face challenges..

john needs to come on already. hes arguably the best in the division but he wont leave his country. thats weak.

Chris John is a punk. Obviously doesn't want to be the best by fighting the best especially since he needs the safety of the hometown judges like when Marquez spanked him.

Gamboa would hurt that boy and he knows it. If I was a world class fighter and all the hard fights where overseas I'd go over there. It's like the Klitschko's ruling the Heavyweight division. If your a good heavyweight challenger you got to go to Germany to fight them unless your popular in America which is too rare here for heavyweights.

Chris JOhn needs to grow a pair.

I think that fight could be huge if marketed right. But its pretty obvious John doesnt want that kind of fight late in his career. I think he wants to just fade into the distance.
