Top Rank and Gamboa in negotiations for Rios bout

[AdamantiumPI]

nice

Brandon's been preparing all along, so has Yuri. I agree it's not looking good, but it's still possible. It's good that there appears to be some communication between the promoters and Gamboa's camp.

In an ES News video, Rios claimed that this could be all mind games to get Rios not to train. I hope Gamboa is training hard because he's moving up.

It has to be rescheduled.

Both of them have to keep training in case the fight goes through. Brandon might be facing a replacement, so you know he's focused on making weight and staying sharp.

If the fight does happen (which Ive been having a hunch it will as I been saying) I do not like Gamboa's chances not cause of preparations but cause of distractions. But the way Im looking at it is, what's a loss? It's all about how you come back from it plus what does Gamboa got to lose if he loses to Rios? And everything to gain if he wins.

Top Rank is ran like a ****** strip club issues like money,license etc should have been dealt with before it got this far.

Top Rank is always under criticism. Rightfully so, but this time it isn't their fault. Gamboa should have voiced his concerns before agreeing. Whether the contracts have been signed or not, an verbal agreement is still a binding agreement. I think he's lucky that TR is willing to compromise. Then again, I don't know the FULL story so it's easy for me to say.

4 weeks to prepare for Rios, I doubt it.

obviously they would push it back a month, which is awesome for me cuz i would be back form cuba!!!!!!!! everything happens for a reason

the fight is right around the corner now and their still trying to "work things out" 0_0

Man, this is just a big mess. Hopefully the fight really does get 'worked out' tho and we all get to see it.

There's no way this fight is happening. Very disappointing. Showtime had an excellent fight in Juanma-Salido II and also has Ortiz-Berto II locked up. HBO has the big PPV, but not much going on their regular station. Hopefully Martinez-Macklin gives them a boost.

Thanks for posting that article, man. A lot of us are starved for news about this bout. Green K.

That article was printed the day after the news broke that Gamboa hadn't shown up, right on this site. So both of you haven't been keeping up with things. But don't take back your gift, it's a nice gesture.

Maybe I did miss it. It says Monday in the article so I assumed this Monday.
