Comments Thread For: Gamboa's Team Claim Issues With Promotional Pacts

Perhaps Gamboa is having second thoughts about fighting Rios. Who cares about nickels and dimes when beating Rios means big money.

Not necessarily true. Did you forget the entire Cotto vs. Margarito fiasco with the licensing? Despite contracts being signed, venue booked, tickets sold out, etc. -- the fight nearly did not happen. This is more of the same but just a different scenario.

not the same.
in the cotto/margarito, only a license was in the way of the fight.
in the rios/gamboa, license wasnt an/the issue.
its like comparing apples to oranges.

in the case of rios/gamboa, its the case of "was there/wassnt there" a fight contract? and with HBO having have a schedule to show the live fight on april 14, only a contract signed by both parties (gamboa/rios) wouldve made the april 14th HBO live fight event valid...im sure HBO dont put up fight schedules without having signed contracts by both parties.
