[onechance87]

For a person who makes websites and apps, you sure don't know how to phukkkn read, I qouted MUSH twice and your ******ed thought I was talking about you. But i'm the dumbass.

lol...........

And that put the icing on the cake.

With the Mayor of Miami there

Yea but none of that counts because he didnt sign the contract

[edgarg]

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,

Hershman is not really "new" to the job, he was Showtime top executive for years and came to HBO directly from them.

You have a fine sarcastic touch. I think we'll see that it does count. They seem to have had a verbal (perhaps also initialled) agreement with witnesses, which is the industry norm. Gamboa would be on shaky ground here.

[EdWins]

Right, it's HBO and Top Rank's fault because they put together a fight that Gamboa REQUESTED.

Oh, and also Rios is a coward because he is willing to fight a guy who called him out!

Yes I saw that as soon as I read my own post, edited but too late.

Most of the posters here have little knowledge of boxing so they certainly won't have any knowledge of contract law.

In the United States a verbal agreement between 2 parties is a legally binding agreement, especially if there are witnesses this is very easy to establish in a court of law.

Gamboa might be able to weasel out of it on the basis that he was too drunk to understand what he did, but I don't think that was the case.

Ultimately this is Gamboa's fault 100%. The guy bolted from Cuba and got in bed with Oner one of the most dishonest crooks in the game, then paired Oner and Arum together which is the reason he has gotten belts and recognition without taking tough fights.

Now after these promoters have gotten him to the top of the sport without risk or tough fights, he wants to renegotiate his terms. It doesn't work that way.

AMEN! Alot of people on this board have there heads up there ass. Rios didnt call out Gamboa, Gamboa called him out. For Rios he just wasted money and time on this disrespectful socialist. Deport him back to Castro and that **** island.

These promoters had better realize...these athletes run the game, not them. The athletes get the promoters paid...they had better start listening to the guys who bring in the money. Arum ain't worth a dime without any athletes....all his asset are likely tied up in investments because he is so greedy that he doesn't want to pay his taxes..and he won't liquidate them for that fact...he won't take a loss at any costs.

These boxers should be smart and make their own connections and cut out the useless promoter/scumbag/thieving crooks that run this sport.
