Comments Thread For: Emanuel Steward in The Dark on Gamboa's Plans, Status

[maguirre]

Mayweather and his team are advising Gamboa on how to make a career out of ducking real competition.

Birds of the same feather duck together.

Someone is investing on his future, apparently, taking care of his food, rent, lawyer's fees, etc., in exchange for lucrative fights down the line. Question is when? One year, two years? That will involve hundreds and thousands of dollars. But is he worth that much? Could a guy like Gamboa would eventually command superstar status and make millions? In boxing, skill doesn't always go with money. It takes charisma and electricity in the ring. Marquez or Khan, for example, had to call out big name fighters to make the kind of money they want.

Damn, why didn't Gamboa just take the Rios opportunity? It's possible the fight would have produced two new supertars who don't have to rely on boxers on top to make tons of money.

by what taking advances without even fighting and being labeled as a ***** thats afraid to lose his "0". hahaha your a sad case

No by not taking the fight with Rios wherre he would have to sign a contract for fight extensions similar to what JCC jr said they were trying to do to him. JCC jr has two fights left and doesnt anyone find it funny that after he said he wouldnt sign this extension they match him against Lee and then Martinez finally. Arum may be cashing out as so many say. Gamboa has his reasons and i think this may be it. Maybe doesnt want to end up like Pac in selling his soul

Anything to hate on Mayweather i see. So Mayweather is now Gamboa advisor?

Lmao at Gamboa ****riders hyping Gamboa up as being someone boxing needs.

Boxing doesn't need Gamboa, boxing really doesn't need any particular fighter. The only fighter boxing might need is a prime Tyson-like in the HW division. That is it, and that's a maybe.

If Gamboa never fights again, who cares? I as a boxing won't lose sleep for it. There are still plenty of young fighters who are true fighters and are more skilled and talented out there. I would rather see anyway. Who are hungry and want and not play BS games.

Honestly fuck Gamboa. He is irrelevant.

tomorrow's boxingscene article will be 1000 words about Floyd Mayweather saying, "no comment" to something.

Absolitely! I was excited about it but in the end Steward said nothing interesting....i think its really a shame, Gamboa is one of my current favorite boxers and now he quits from this awesome fight......he has the potential to be a p4p king, why does he quit from the fight?????

[Tobi.G]

Steward thes days is a BIG BUNCH OF CRAP!!! A BIG BUNCH OF CRAP!!!! Nothing more!!! This idiot doesnt know what hes talking aboooouuuuuutt!!!

I take it you're directing your remarks at me. But I assure you, I don't ride anyone's ****, not figuratively nor literally. Your reading comprehension needs about as much improvement as your level of respect. What I said about Yuri was, "The sport needs guys like him." There's a big difference between that and saying, "Boxing needs Gamboa."

While I agree that Yuri's recent actions are something the sport can do without, I stand by my remarks. Boxing will survive as it always has, regardless of specific fighters. However, no one can deny that the more exciting fighters (and therefore, fights) there are the better. By the same token, no objective fan can deny that Gamboa is an exciting fighter.

You have your personal feelings about Yuri, and that's fine; but your comments have more to do with your personal dislike than with objective analysis. Boxing didn't need Trinidad (I believe that's your favorite fighter), either. I'm not putting Gamboa on his level, but the point is that I'm glad, for the sake of the sport, "Tito" was around. You'd do well to admit the same about men like "El Ciclon."

Seriously, sometimes you sound like a jealous little girl as if you wanted a piece of his **** too. Because every time his name is mentioned on these forums you pop out of nowhere trashing his name and his fans.

I have no clue where you're from but you sound like a real envious dude who doesn't have any significant boxer coming out of his country.

Boxing didn't need Tito, Boxing didn't miss a beat without him. When he left boxing still went strong

Tito never ****ed the fans, the way this ****er did. It's good that you're glad that Tito was around. I will be glad if we have less fighters like Gamboa who just shits on fans. What he pulled wasn't cool whatsoever. People can give him a pass cuz' they like that Zab like flashiness, or because some idiotic reason they think it screws Arum. Even look at what Gamboa did this Saturday he reached out to DeCubas(who seems has the back of Cuban fighters) to go set up a date to meet with Arum to talk. And, then no shows...Proves this dude is just a flake, fuck him. Boxing doesn't need him or anyone like him. Boxing needs fighters, not flakes.

That is a pretty odd thing to say if it's true you don't know what my ethnicity is. Especially since it is no secret. But, I was born and raised in the U.S if you must know...Los Angeles area to be exact in the same hospital as Margarito. I probably have spent a total of 10 months outside of this country. And, last time I checked U.S have a couple significant fighters.

Too much of your post parrots what I already said, as if you read what I posted, repackaged it and are regurgitating it back as original material. It gets tiresome trying to communicate this way.

Gamboa's recent actions have become increasingly bizarre. I was neutral on the press conference no-shows because there simply wasn't enough evidence, in my opinion, to condemn Yuri's approach. I wasn't giving him "a pass." I was merely observing what our very own justice system is built upon: "Innocent until proven guilty." The Arum/DeCubas no-show, however, defies explanation. As I posted on another thread, my patience is wearing thin.

Again, I do not condone Gamboa's actions, but that doesn't change the fact that boxing needs exciting fighters like him. It's what we watch for in the first place.
