Earlier this week Rey Sanchez (Boxing journalist who has his on website and has done work with boxingscene) hinted in a spanish message board that the Gamboa-Rios fight was anything but set in stone. Even though he did not give any details he mentioned it. Just last night Andres PAscual who is another boxing journalist out of miami and does not work with rey wrote a spanish article stating that Bob Arum is having second thoughts about giving Gamboa the Rios fight. According to Pascual Gamboa's Top Rank contract is expiring soon and Arum is not fond of giving gamboa this fight unless he knows for sure that Gamboa will sign an extension with Top Rank. This was not an issue at first when the contracts were signed but word has gotten to Arum lately that there is a strong possibility that Gamboa might join mayweather/Golden boy. With that being said I really hope that this is not true and just a false rumor.
Rumor in Miami is that Gamboa-Rios might be in Jeopardy
