    Gamboa's lawyer mentioned that his contract was expired with TR. Now I have more reason to believe this is the case and Top Rank knowing so, set this whole thing up with the press conference and Abril to smear Gamboa's image to make him look like the coward. But the whole thing is in the process of backfiring and Rios in danger of losing his 0 and the bout vs JMM.

    This is truly what I believe is the case.
    Exactly. The "replacement" opponent just happened to be at the press conference? GTFO. How anyone doesn't see this, is just beyond me.

    Instead of Arum being a respectable professional and parting ways with the guy (that he wanted to extend a BS contract with) , he goes and runs a smear campaign on him to try and prevent the next guy who promotes Gamboa from being able to market the guy.

    Gamboa should sue for slander, seeing as how this was an obvious attempt by a bitter old man to destroy a man's reputation and marketability, thus resulting in financial loss.

      Both are guilty for the fight not happening... Gamboa didn't like bob's deal and Rios can't keep eating like a pig... No more chimichangas, burritos, enchiladas... none of that. You expect Gamboa to come in at 134.5 then Rios coming in at 142 saying "sorry i could not make the weight, I'm 142. No belt, but lets still fight"

          Rios can't make 135lbs....if he was fighting Gamboa it wouldn't have changed anything.

          So either the fight would be cancelled or a Rios at a significant disadvantage would be getting into the ring. Either way, it was a blessing in disguise.
