Comments Thread For: Merchant Feels Gamboa Should Have Fought Brandon Rios

[4Corners]

Oh well. Gamboa wasn't afraid to figth Rios. He f**ked up, he shouldn't have even entertained that fight if he was having reservations about being at Top Rank. That was his mistake. It's handled now, and hopefully Gamboa signs quickly with MP or GBP, and goes straight to 130 with his eyes on Broner.

Please stop with the stories. The SIGNED extension was part of the documents filed in court. Gamboa's team told us they offered to buy the contract out for a high sum and TR accepted. I know what the number is and nobody who thought they would win a case would pay that kind of scratch. Not that it was Gamboa's MONEY anyway because he wasn't the one who paid it out.

What was the number??? And who fronted the money???? Mayweather or Golden Boy????

He already signed an extension before the fight. Why would he pay a lot of money to buy out his contract if the contract was up?

I'm glad you chipped in and straightened out at least one dim-wit. Now do us ALL a favour and tell us whether Mayweather Promotions can sign fighters or not. We've been hearing statements from NSAC and many posters, also the Internet that this company, if it is a company has never had a promoter's licence, and we've never seen a single event promoted by them. And the mist around it is very murky.

Maybe they have signing capability but not promoting permission??

gamboa shouldve taken the rios fight..

he couldve refused to fight him after he wouldve failed to make 135 and save face

It's not stories... what we've been told by someone who's chill with gamboa himself and his family is that the 2 year extension signed prior to the fight was related to the arena box contract, which was useless because of some terms in the contract that were illegal in the USA, hence there was no valid 2 year extension...

the other story, the thing about buying out the contract for a high sum, only heard it from you now... & i do believe you. but why would they say they won't say anything to anyone and then tell everything to an admin of the biggest boxing website.

and for those wondering who's money it is, the whole court thing has been paid by mayweather the whole time... i don't know about that final big sum you're talking about tho.. i suspect mayweather being involved too but i dont know about that

If Gamboa cannot speak english he cannot fight in the USA. New rule for all foreign fighters speak the english language or no fightee.

Haha you would not make it as a promoter with those views.

Gamboa should have faught Rios, because he would have easily beat rios at 135.

[ivanx00]

Gamboa? Is that guy still boxing? Haven't heard from him in months.....lost interest in his career already.

[Phenom]

gamboa shouldve taken the rios fight..

he couldve refused to fight him after he wouldve failed to make 135 and save face

IDK what these people *****ing about this fight would have been canceled anyway because Rios can't make weight

and its not saving face Gamboa is jumping two weight classes as is
