A little bit of light behind the Gamboa situation

[El Angel]

I hope he didn't sign that extension, because if he did, Arum and Oner will make him pay hell to get out of it.

I was believing it until that part in the bold.

Why would you disbelieve that? To me, that was the MOST credible part.

That is the oldest promoter trick in the book: "you can have this million-dollar payday as long as I have options (or ownership) of you for the next x years"

[Gino Ros]

this is what promoters do...basically they try to get you in a "NEVER ENDING SLAVE DEAL" same BS with Timothy Bradley and Gary Shaw...fans just assumed that Bradley ducked Khan...but what they don't express enough is how if Bradley would have took the fight with Khan, it would have been a automatic Contract Extension with Shaw for yet ANOTHER FIGHT

Same thing with Mayweather and Bob Arum, if he would have taken the Margarito fight, that to would have also EXTENDED HIS CONTRACT WITH ARUM, meaning that Mayweather vs De La Hoya would of NEVER HAPPENED!

Fans need to open their eyes more and understand that a lot of times fight not happening is actually out of the fighters hands, a lot of times it is the Managers and Promoters RUINING FIGHTS with their Corruption and GREED! Arum did it 3 times with Dan Goossen when they tried to come together and make the Paul Williams vs Kelly Pavlik fight

I KNOW Gamboa has no type of fear what so ever when it comes to Rios, what Top Rank is doing is using Rios to BAIT Gamboa into signing a BS CONTRACT...just like they used Margarito to BAIT MAYWEATHER into not leaving Top Rank and signing a BS CONTRACT!

I always had concerns and never understood why Cuban fighters all Run to Oner...the guy who FIX FIGHTS IN GERMANY ALL THE TIME he is extremely Corrupt!

If you were verbally offered one thing and then asked to sign a contract that had nothing to do with what you were initially offered. Wouldn't you get upset and do the same? I know I would. Gamboa needs an attorney on his team and legit people who know what the hell they're doing.

He's taken advantage of because he's not paying attention.

You dont sign your life over and then realize it afterwards that you made a mistake.

You dunno what it is to live in Cuba and then come to the states or any other country for that fact, looking for a better life do you? He leaves Cuba, gets to Germany and gets offered money (a contract) which of course always looks good when you never had any living in your home country then accepts it without knowing how crooked that individual (Oner and TR) or what the consequences are. So now that he's been around the business a little longer and knows how **** works he said enough no more of this bull**** like the rest of the fighters that left TR have done and stood up for himself. Maybe one day Manny will do the same. Even if it's the last day of his career Ill be happy for him.

I've been a bit pissed as I saw so many in the boxing community (i.e. Facebook) calling Yuri a coward when they don't even know what was going on.

Nothing about Yuri's actions, life, demeanor, bearing, record, etc indicates that the dude is anything but a G.

As soon as they saw that he had befriended FMJ, that was reason enough to criticize YG.
