The True Story Behind Gamboa's Actions. (No Bull****)

[Agent Mulder]

Don't worry sonofcuba. Most of these guys are plain trolls who think of boxers as WWE wrestlers. They're "scared" fighters with no real concerns, contracts or thoughts about the futures of their children and family.

"Gamboa is a scared pu$$y!" - random NSB ignorant jockhead..or Brandon "dumb dumb" Rios. Take your pick.

If Gamboa didnt like the structure of his contract with TR and his other promotional company, he should have never signed the contract. Let him go back to Cuba and fight there. See how he likes that.

It may seem logical, but it isn't that easy. Contract probably looked great at the time, eventually someone around him showed him where/how he was getting raped.

We all 'feel bad' Manny Pacquiao isn't getting everything he deserves, yet if Gamboa or any other fighter has a bad deal, they should accept it?

So if you don't like the circumstances at your place of employment, you just quit? You don't try and take a stand to fix the situation, perhaps helping out others just by doing so? By your logic, you'd keep those making minimum wage, under minimum wage. If they don't like it, get out of the country!...right?

I bet in real life you're a sheep. a scared little sheep. tsk tsk tsk.

Here is the deal. There are two clear reason's for Gamboa's actions, and they are both in the end connected as well.

1. Top Rank takes at least 30% of Gamboa's purse, Ahmet Oner who is not only Gamboa's co promoter, he also happens to be with Gamboa before top rank and in fact was the guy who paid and got Gamboa out of Cuba takes about another 30%. I'll just focus on the big boys and skip over the managers like Luis DeCubas and Gonzales who are also taking a percentage of his purse.

So just there you are leaving Gamboa, the fighter, taking home only 40%.

But it dosen't end there.

2. Gamboa is used to his cuban trainer 'Ismael Salas' and became champion with him, said he would never want to fight for anyone else. Top Rank forces him to switch trainer and go with Emmanuel Stewart right before the biggest and most dangerous fight of his career, even though gamboa was completely against it. Oh and dosen't speak a word of english by the way.

Not only that, but add to that that Emmanuel Stewart for being who he is would most likely take no less than 10% of gamboa's cut.

At this point Gamboa's purse is left at 30% to fight his biggest fight without his head trainer.

Is he really to blame for not fighting Rios ? Or is the corruption in boxing we should be once again blaming.

Its a good one to think about.

All of this may be true but it is irrelevant if he signed on the dotted line. He isn't a child, he is responsible for his actions. He is the number 1 ranked feather, he should take all comers and if his finances are screwed up where does the blame lie?
