Oh man I bet WALT's furious right now since he bought tix already.

He might murk Gamboa himself before he fights for floyd.

[The Big Dunn]

well i'm looking at it from a boxing fan's perspective...you on the other hand is looking at it more as a floyd fan getting excited with the prospect of floyd signing up gamboa.

Really dude, you think I feel this way because is Mayweather promotions. Geez man get some kind of intelligence. well I'll just leave you alone. Have a good day!

[Russian Crushin]

Man who cares about the liscensing crap...the point is Mayweather promotiuons got his fighters their OWN date...Deandre was on a layoff because of contract disputes, signed with Floyd, and already is on tv, and is about to unify belts with K9...He been wanting to fight K9 for a long time...Floyd did his damn thang on this one

By Deandre you mean Deandre Latimore?

Yea just a few questions.

1. Since when is he fighting K9?

2. Since when does he have a belt to unify?

3. And what are you smoking?

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.

You can have all that bravado and call everyone out when its safe. But, once it's time to make the fight get it done. Pryor did it with Leonard, Vanes specialize in this. I'm going to put Gamboa on the same boat with them. He calls out Rios fight gets made. He found out it was a bad idea.

[The Big Dunn]

That's the whole point of letting it marinate it is to make it as big as it could be. Sometimes it works like Leonard-Hears when they marinated(Arum BTW) the hell out of that fight until it was at it's biggest. And, sometimes it backfires.

None of that is a good enough excuse/reason to pull the shit he just pulled.

we agree totally. I'm not justifying Gamboa bouncing. I'm saying if you are HIM, and you are older and have lost out on your biggest payday through no fault of your own, I can understand this. Earner said he was bouncing from TR anyway.

[Tamis!]

thats a given, never said it wasnt. top rank only has one true rival in that regards. with that said, u calling it the lesser of two evils doesnt make sense.

it could be your opinion all u want but like i said hes 18 fights into his career, truth is hes at the right level for a young fighter of his age. his career, for now, is being handled pretty well. i mean when floyd was trying to get his name out there next to khans, ppl were accusing floyd of ducking khan so seriously, whats the issue?

We'll see from hereon or his next fight.

IDGAS about Khan's prediacment and all those issues.

[Tamis!]

He only had two fights left on his contract, and wasnt looking to resign

Wow then why did he sign for Rios then creates all this circus?

[Russian Crushin]

Really dude, you think I feel this way because is Mayweather promotions. Geez man get some kind of intelligence. well I'll just leave you alone. Have a good day!

I agree with him, you're looking from that point of view, its pretty clear

NO boxing fan should be ok with this

And im a huge Gamboa fan but this is just BS

[No-mas-tias]

The only good thing that would come out of this is Gamboa ****ting on Arum and leaving for MP. Arum teased us for years with a Gamboa/Juanma fight and refused to deliver it to us. He's been milking his cash cows and now he has lost Cotto and possibly Gamboa.

Nobody is faulting him for bouncing, its his life he can bounce where ever

Just dont push for a fight, get it signed and then pull out for no reason

Simply not excusable
