    The Gamboa Rios situation is HBO and Top Ranks fault

    Hershman has come out and blamed Gamboa?? WTF?? Says that they had already invested in promoting the fight? He is new to the job and is trying to pass blame because he already started promoting a fight that wasnt signed..

    It not that when Rios signed to fight John Murray and didnt even come close to making weight... Rios signed a contract and didnt fulfill it by not weighing in but Gamboa is getting slaughtered left right and centre for a fight he didnt sign for???

    Top Rank shouldnt be putting on press conferences when there isnt a contract signed either..

    If Gamboa has an issue with his contract and is feeling under appreciated then he is doing what anyone of us would do if we felt that our employer was taking advantage of us,

    Mayweather-Cotto didn't have sign contracts before they started promotion.

    It happens all the time NOT ONLY IN BOXING...but in life. Signed contracts are not the only way to enter into legally binding obligations.

    So that is LITERALLY a dumb thing to say.

          Look man fights aren't signed all the time when promotion kicks off, it's the way of boxing. If all parties agree then the promotion starts, the contracts usually aren't finalized till later, sometimes only weeks/days before the actual fight.

            When you open up an EBay or app world account you agree that you have read the terms and conditions and that becomes a legally binding contract..

            Listen at the end of the day no contract has been signed and Gamboa is well within his rights to say he feels he isnt being offered what he deserves...

            Lets take away everyones rights and let their employers dictate the change of their duties

              There is an interview with Gamboa right after the fight got made where he is expressing how fair the deal was and how comfortable he was with his compensation.

              Guy is an impressionable clown, has Mayweather in his ear.

                  Not unless he can get out his contract and off to Mayweather/Golden Boy..

                  Arum also knows there is money to be made off him... Look at Doniare ffs..What he done was x10 worse... If HBO **** about with Arum/Gamboa Arum will just say he is taking Mannys next few fights to showtime....

                    I guess you missed the post someone made saying him and Oner talked about the terms but when they got to Vegas to talk to Arum, Oner threw everything they talked about out the window and sided with Arums therefore getting Gamboa pissed and saying **** all this ****.
