Did Top Rank force Gamboa to give up his IBF title?

[Cubanborn87]

I found it extremely rare that Gamboa seemed extremely pissed off friday night that he wasnt going to show up for the ibf weigh in saturday morning and said that he could just not simply talk about it. Most of the people where saying that he did that because he knew he was going to weigh north of that the next morning. The only problem with that is that on the hbo scale that evening he was 136 pounds which is exactly 10 pounds. I still found that extremely weird, but then after the fight he seems extremely upset with Top Rank and starts taking shots at them. During that Juanma vs Gamboa interview it seemed to me that he was pissed off and took shots at Top Rank more than anything. I wonder if Arum made him give it up that way Mikey would be handed the Title.

Howd he take shots at Top Rank?

Howd he take shots at Top Rank?

saying that they dont want to put lopez in the ring with him because the know he will lose

[King Ju-Ju]

Might be the case. If that is, I don't blame him for being pissed off. We will see if Garcia ends up getting a shot at the IBF Title next.

[Drunk Punch]

It's just boxing politics at work. The IBF didn't want their belt unified.

i brought this exact point up on the day of the fight......

I felt it was a shot at Top Rank too, I mean they are promoted by the same people and Gamboa was saying how his promoters would never allow Lopez to fight him because they knew lopez would lose. That's definitely a shot at top rank.

I don't know about the weigh in, sounds plausible, but at the very least he's frustrated with top rank. All he wants to do is fight the best.

[elgranluchadore]

Must be frustrating he knows his WBA belt is a joke i mean there are 3 wba featherweight champs and there's talks of making a fourth as the interim

this from facebook night of fight:

Gamboa shows up at the "post fight presser" only to find that NO member of the media or Top Rank was present. At least I was there. Someone should've told Gamboa that the presser was cancelled. Oh well... At least I got my interview

Frank Rivera Wow! Not even top prank was there? Could it be because Gambo pretty much through Top Prank under the bus when Kellerman asked him if he felt that Top Prank is avoiding his fight against Lopez? And that Lopez pretty much said he wants this fight to happen as much as Gamboa wants it?

if every fighter had the balls to say the true things and treat their promoters as they should (ie, their employees) maybe boxing wouldn't be so low today. i was happier during the after fight interview with kellerman than during the fight itself when yuri was killin solis... i hate bob arum for always keeping the best fights far from us and for protecting his fighters like they were little b*tches... they are BOXERS yo, their only purpose is to fight... how the ff are you going to deny a bout to your fighter when all he's asking is to fight the bests? this greedy ol man doesnt want to risk losing juanma just yet because he's his next cotto... yesterday in a live interview bob arum was asked if after saturday night he would make gamboa/juanma right after salido and the delusional ol man answered: "nope, not before they both become ppv attractions"... tell me something ol man, who the *** are they supposed to beat to become ppv material?? this dude thinks fight fans are ****** and I can't stand people who defend him
