Comments Thread For: Gamboa vs Rios Plan To Be Determined Very Soon

[Eaner0919]

I've talked with a guy who trains with Rios and saw him starving for days on this last fight. He said he looked horrible. Doing it one more time will be horrible again because Rios wasn´t that fat against Murray.

The time for a good fight between Rios and Gamboa is gone. Let Rios move up damn exploiters.

who? name names I know ALL OF THEM.

he had a bad camp, **** happens, like I said before you came in with your misinformation, Brandon will stay at 135 if it's Gamboa, if not he moves up

you wanna know how I know? I don't talk to guys who know guys who heard of guys who train with Brandon. I talk to Brandon literally everyday

there's no point to stay at 135 unless it's Gamboa. He initially wanted to unify with Linares because of what Roach was saying but when Linares lost that all kind of went away

seriously rios needs to move up and its not worth his health trying to stay at this weight and who gives a dam what rios groupies say he bleongs at 140 or 147

Phantomas has no clue and is misinformed, no offense.

The truth is Arum DOESN'T want Gamboa to become a star. He only signed him to control his career and not allow him to fight his cash cows. That's why you won't see Donaire or Mikey against Gamboa, never. He also thought Juanma was the truth and wanted to create a nemesis for him in Gamboa, to create a rivalry and eventually "feed" Gamboa to Juanma. Obviously, his plan failed big time. Gamboa happened to be a King and Juanma was a fraud as some of us called long time ago.

That's also why Gamboa never got the big fights he wanted and was forced to fight bums (Mtagwa, Garcia, etc.), because Arum wanted the big names for Juanma's resume. He's now trying to build up the undefeated mexican Rios, who can become a VERY profitable cash cow, so he wants to sacrifice the "little" Gamboa who has a name to make Rios bigger in the game. Arum thinks Gamboa will lose, that's why he's making this fight. In case Gamboa wins, it wouldn't be a total loss because he could then "feed" Gamboa to Pacman as an "easy" opponent. On the other side, Gamboa is happy with it because his goal is Pacman and he sees Rios as a ladder to reach him.

why not let brandon speak for himself instead of you opening your mouth for him tell your friend brandon to post on here if not then **** what you say.

[brick wall]

actually he is using 135 as a stepping stone to get himself into the mix for Pacquiao

straight dope from TR offices

so if he beats rios (which i doubt) he will move another 2 divisions up to fight pac at 147?

arum really is playing his fighters like pawns.

[kadyo's]

actually the thinking is that he can make 135 he has hired a nutritionist to go over his eating habits and is back training in preparation for a March fight

I've asked Brandon why stay at 135 and he said only for the Gamboa fight so IMO if they don't fight March 3rd I doubt they fight at all. He does not want to stay at 135 for two more fights

Thanks for heads up, E.

I wish I could read an info as reliable as this from the Gamboa side.

from what I was told the thought is that Gamboa can go to about 142 to fight Manny

what you're not realizing is that Gamboa himself wants pacquiao. he wants a big payday. He's called out pacquiao after his fights the last few times now. Arum certainly can't force gamboa to move up to 135 or 140 pounds, not if gamboa didn't want to.

Gamboa could keep fighting at 126 or 130 if he wanted to. But again, Gamboa wants a big payday, he wants to be on a PPV, he wants to fight pacquiao, he wants to be a star. He wont get any of that at 126/130 (I'm not arguing if it's the smart thing to do, I'm just saying what gamboa wants).
