gamboa should know better than to no show. it's bad for business. bad for his fans that waited at the conference to see him too. if he were to withdraw at least do it professionally.
i really wanted to see this fight too..

[Sin City]

i hope there's something better in the works if he signs with mayweather.. im a fan of gamboa's but this just seems shady.

I've seen a lot of bull**** in boxing, but I would say this takes the cake. Highly unprofessional and terrible move.

Fuck Gamboa.

Mayweather said he only wanted a few fighters under his promotion. Maybe 4 or 5, so he can focus on each fighter individually. I don't think Mayweather is looking to create an army here, nor do I think he is trying to take Top Rank products.

I was about as pissed-off as anyone around here when I read about Gamboa being a no-show at the PC. But it's too early to know what's going on and exactly what will happen with the Rios fight. If Yuri indeed bails, it'll be a disgusting slap at the fans and everyone involved in the sport. I don't think anything will change that opinion. At the present time, however, I think it's more prudent to sit tight and await developments....

Gamboa the Panzy runs away scared ****!

You don't ever call out a fighter to fight then don't show up, a man keeps hes word. But we all know why he chose not to come, he knew Rios would knock hes ass out. Now thats what a sissy would do,Gamboa the little panzy , Rios would have put your ass to sleep.

like I said before, Arum has been in the game too dam long...he's shot!!...his lies and conniving ways aint hitting hard as before...time for his old ass to pack it in,,,enough is enough!!....he's been waging war on Floyd for years through the media and courts....but he didn't finish Floyd off...why leave your enemy alive to seek and get revenge?!?

LAW 15 CRUSH YOUR ENEMY TOTALLY

A tiny ember with enough time and fuel can cause even the greatest forests to be destroyed. All people in the world are made to not to like to lose… its human nature, none of us like to lose or fail in a task that we set out and are determined to finish. And like many people totally humiliated by defeat, the ire and the hope of vengeance grows with every succeeding day and like a cornered tiger become willing to fight with nothing to lose. Is it then not better then to destroy your enemy before they have a chance of revenge?


Throughout history, this law of power has been known. Some people have followed it and some people had to learn it the hard way, just as Bumpy Johnson in the 1940’s did.

Bumpy, then the Godfather of Harlem once took a boy named Flash in his care. Bumpy trusted Flash and made him do errands and business deals. Flash took this to his advantage, however, and started to steal from Bumpy. Soon enough Bumpy learned about this and beat up Flash in a public place. Flash was beat up to a pulp and Bumpy had a chance to kill him. He didn’t. Soon after, Flash framed Bumpy for crimes he didn’t commit and Bumpy was thrown in Alcatraz.

Enemies like these – enemies for life, are better finished off than left standing. Not doing so will only leave them even more willing to finish you off. Humiliation is not something people react positively to. If it doesn't fuel a fire, it starts one, and the only security you will have after defeating a foe is the thought that he can no longer hurt you. For one who desires power and a lasting victory, crushing enemies totally is the only choice.

This is some ****in bullshiet....

I was about to purchase my tickets for the fight a few hours ago until I read all this nonsense....

What I think is if it's true that Gamboa's with Mayweather promotions, they're just about to preserve him and make him a star off his record. After all, Floyd said he wanted Gamboa to have the torch when he leaves boxing.

On a promoting standpoint yea that's cool coz it's business, but sucks for the fans.

I'd love to see Rios-Gamboa, but sems like MP won't risk it with Rios. Hence the hold-up.

Gamboa is 30 years old! lol

Pointless to hand the torch to him.
