Gamboa purse: $1.1 million + $100k if he wins

[Check]

if he beats Rios no matter who he fights next granted it is on HBO he will make much more money than that.

Either way, what's the problem then? It sounds like TR is doing a fine job with him. I don't see how he views TR as doing a poor job with him.

They've already stated the problem isn't money related.

He has no issue with the money, it's something else in the contact. In order to get this $1.1million he apparently has to extend his Top Rank deal by years and he doesn't want to. If he can get the money without that, we should be good to go.

It's the contract period that he has a problem with. Top Rank want him in for another 5 years!

Wayyy more then that actually

That's why I think he is ducking the fight. He talked a big game but when the ball started rolling Gamboa realized it wasn't a good idea. He ***ed up and now he's trying to save face by blaming TR.

Nice purse, nice bonus but they didn't approve of his request of hookers being brought to the hotel room after the fight..he gotta realize that this isn't Cuba where you can request those kinda things

and what exactly is TR doing that some other promotional company could do better? They are getting a kid with no fan base, from a small weight class million dollar pay days. He wanted the Rios fight and they got it for him. Pretty much TR is doing everything he wants but now all of sudden its not good enough.....

Actually he just signed a two year extension through 2013. .

So if he wants out, he's gonna have to sit until the beginning of 2014! holy shyt! that's suicide. . .

Mayweather told Gamboa, "Don't take the fight, Rios would not be good for your health. Don't let the fans pressure you into a fight you don't want, its all about self-preservation....."

We have no idea what Top Rank do for him, all we get is what Top Rank people tell us.

What Top Rank have done though is cost him the biggest fight he could have had in his own division by protecting Juanma. Then, the only other big fight they could get him was because he tried to get it made and was willing to jump divisions to do so, but in order for that to happen he has to sign away his future to them. I don't think that is good enough, no.

Well they got him this fight. The one he CALLED for plus a huge payday for someone as unknown as him.

Top Rank as much as I hate them has done their job this time.

According to Dubouef he's already signed an extension. So I still fail to see the hold up.
