Comments Thread For: Juanma: I Told Gamboa To His Face, I Want The Fight!

[Mickey88]

Does Bob Arum work for Juanma, or does Juanma work for Bob Arum? The fighter should have the final say not the promoter.

If Lopez wanted this fight bad enough he could just tell Arum to make it happen.

it doesnt work like that buddy

[Mickey88]

the money aint right for gamboa either according to his promoter.

starts at 3:20


gamboa's promoter: "the budget that hbo wants for this fight is not enough for both fighters."

go ahead and ignore this like all the other juanma haters in this thread

The money maker here is Juanma not Gamboa.. the one that fills the place up is Juanma NOT Gamboa... Gamboa should be glad not that is gonna happen but if it was to happen, that they gave him the fight with Juanma cuz thats probably gonna be his first big paycheck! Juanma will make double whatever Gamboa makes in the fight i can guarantee you that

it doesnt work like that buddy

Is Juanma the boss or is Arum the boss?

"the money right" is hurting all sports but it's killing boxing. It funny how the money right only gets said for risk but when fighters fighting a fight they should blow the guy out money isn't an issue. Jml says he will fight marquez again. FOR WHAT! He couldn't even consider it. Plus I only think he got in the ring b/c Gamvoa was bout to **** on him hard. & arum needs to cut it out & use some of that pacquiao money he making to make this happen. Hbo isn't the only network out there.

Great Post!!! I totally agree with everything. Specially the "money right is hurting boxing".

To me, Lopez might want to look ballsy to his hardcore Puerto Rican supporters by calling Gamboa out to his face. But all of that sencerity is flushed down the drain when you rematch a shot fighter that you already beat with the help of age and size advantage. Any fighter can call a guy out to his face and not really mean it.

Why is it that it's only a Gamboa-John fight being kicked around and not a Juan Ma-John fight? Because Arum has an agenda to protect Lopez. That's why.

OK, and the fact that you're a registered Rican hater has nothing whatsoever to do with your assessment right?


Ahahahahahahahaha!

Protect Juanma from John??? Stop it!!! Juanma would beat John at this poiont and u know it. I got a question, when Juanma moves up to 130 cuz he can't make weight anymore and happens to get beat up, can I use the he's a natural jr featherweight excuse because that's what everyone does with Rafa. He's a natural bantamweight. Ok I get it he began there or w.e. but if u can't make that weight then guess what??? Your not a natural bantamnweight anymore so stip using that as an excuse. Wanna say he is old, ok that's cool. He wasn't as shot as u all say. ****, I would argue that Solis is more shot then Rafa. Was never as good either. Most likely weight drained too.

Good points. It's always a double standard with some people. When it's their fighter, the excuses are valid. "Margarito did not know about the cast wrapped around his hands.." "Calderon is not too small and past prime, but Rafa was too small and past prime" etc
