Comments Thread For: Gamboa No-Shows Rios Presser, Mayweather Talk Lingers

[The Big Dunn]

Yeah man but until Gamboa can play villain and sell it to the rafters like FLoyd then it ain't happening with Yuri.

Heck, even Broner's got more promise at earning more popularity coz of his sheer charisma which Gamboa can't imitate if his life depended on it.

Dude how many cats with Vargas record and lack of name are making 6 figures? Yeah Gamboa can't be floyd but the exsposure will defintely help.

[-Kev-]

A part of me wants to see this fight happen, another part wants to see Gamboa just say fuck you Bob, for not giving me the money I want.[From what I understand, Gamboa is not happy with the money?]. The guy is moving up 2 weight classes to fight the #1 guy there, and Bob is probably giving him peanuts for it. Then on top of that, Bob refused to make Gamboa-Lopez when they were both undefeated, which would have been a career highlight win for Gamboa and have his career soaring by now.

And what the **** @ the fans who are calling Gamboa p*ssy? If he doesn't fight Rios? listen to yourselves. A Featherweight going up to 135 to fight the #1 guy there would be one of the biggest wins of this young decade-2010-2019, because it's too much of a leap, vs too good a fighter, this ain't no Pac vs Diaz. So if he chooses not to fight him cause he wants better money for the risk, then so be it. He's supposed to move up to 130 anyways, not 135. Since when did it become a duck, for a Featherweight not wanting to fight the #1 LW? What the hell, that doesn't even make any sense. So Bernard Hopkins is ducking the Kltschko's now? Or Khan is ducking Cotto? Or Sergio Martinez is ducking Chad Dawson?

Hatton promotions blows all of them out the water

And you forgot The Great Promotions

In Europe maybe but Mayweather Promotions just headlined a ShoBox event. I dont see any of those other ma and pa promotional companies doing that. Do You?

[The Big Dunn]

That was the whole point to marinate the fight to the point where it could be at it's biggest. It just backfired on his ass, I hope you can read that.

Dude I'm trying to look at it ONLY from Gamboa's point of view. I think he murks Juanma whenever they fight. SO why I see your point about waiting, you nevr know what happens. So if I'm Gamboa, give me the fight early because I'd rather have 500k in my bank account now then MAYBE having 1.5-2 mil in 3 years.

[The Big Dunn]

Yeah and who's he fighting? And until when can he break into super stardom as promised?

I mean Floyd's promotions won't flourish behind a string of evictions, moreso focusing on just one fighter to make it.

Unless they read Jerry Maguire's memo, then Gamboa has to become Rod Tidwell.

You know not even 1% of fighters ever see Vargas current money. SO while he hasn't blown up, he is making GOOD money.

ur talking about evictions as if that matters...thats seperate from anything that regards the promotion of fighters.

and hes 18 fights into his career. what do u expect? ur making it seem as if hes supposed to have an amazing resume. the lopez fight was a good test for him and he passed, mebbe not with flying colors but he passed. vargas' career is doing just fine rite now. stop exaggerating.

good post, I can hang with this!

None, and I don't count that out for a fact.

But ther'll be a time when Vargas has to mix it up there with a named opponent, and that's what's wrong with it, when is it gonna come.

And as talented and promising as Gamboa is, he might end the route Vargas is threading, which sucks coz he's already there to fight Rios which could mean big for him if he wins. And he's not younger like Broner.

[MalikKnucklez]

Why would Gamboa "duck" a fight he was asking for?

Brandon Rios didn't ask for this fight, Gamboa did.

For all we know, Gamboa's camp didn't agree to the contractual obligations for this fight in THE FIRST PLACE.
Think about it, we haven't heard s**t from Gamboa's camp since this fight was announced.

He's been gettin royally f**cked by Top Rank for a hot ass minute now, I wouldn't be surprised if this was a result of that fallout.

Arum. contracts, Top Rank, Mayweather, money, whatever.

but please, gon' sitcha'll asses down with that "duckin" s**t, Gamboa been gunnin for some of ur favorites for years now.

[brick wall]

Ask ODH and Floyd how leaving turned out. Juan ma is the fight that would've enhanced Ganboa's nam publicly.

you are missing the point. this is more about him agreeing to a fight and abandoning it than him leaving his promoter. you can't use his disappointments with top rank (if he is) to back out from a fight he agreed to. that's just a ****** excuse.
