Gamboa is one dumb fool. Seriously he deserves the lawsuits and crap he's gonna get for the next few months. Honestly I'd be surprised if he fought this year. I forgot who said in this in the thread but a poster said it's "career suicide" and I agree completely.

I doubt Arum ****s on him by sitting him, unless Gamboa is really set on leaving. Arum could have shelved Donaire as well, but a deal was worked out and he continued to build Donaire up getting him the Vazquez fight and soon to be another decent scrap.
IMO I see a scenario in which Yuri doesn't face Rios, works out his issues with Top Rank and signs to fight some contender in the fall.
I hope this works out because I felt Top Rank was ready to get Yuri some big fights if he got past Rios (possible 2 fights away from a Pacquiao showdown).

Let's say he were to get past Rios. What would have more than likely happened was he would have gotten a fight a 140 in the fall, and then would have met Pacquiao in early 2013.
I can't see any scenario, under any other promoter, that would have given Yuri that type of opportunity.

this has the donaire saga written all over it---its just worse this time, at least donaire gave us a great fight before he tried to take off
