    Gamboa fans?

    What is going on with this guy? I'm not a fan exactly but I thought he'd be a big, big star with tons of marketing and a big network behind him, in big fights. I almost never hear his name and when fights are mentioned they don't happen. Can someone give me the 411 on this? Talent, power, big backstory, some serious TV exposure, and an undefeated record. Why isn't this guy on fire right now? Why isn't this guy bigger than somebody like Khan or Matthysse? I don't understand it. Did he have something go seriously wrong that I haven't heard about with his health or his promoter or something? It seems like everything is there to make a big star.

    As a Gamboa fan who has been there from the beginning the word ****** is what comes to mind when it comes to his career he was on his way right up until that hip hop mentality bull**** fkd his career up. He got caught up and let Mayweather miss lead him just to spite Arum he was just a ****** fking pawn now he cant get a fight worth a **** . I mean I get it he was being fked out of all his money but at least wait til you can get rid off Oner and do it the right way ****TTTT

        It looks like he's going nowhere now. He should have stayed at 126 but Arum screwed him over with the JuanMa fight. What he done with Rios is plain ****** though

            He was pissed about not getting the big money Juanma fight, along with Oner and Arum taking large cuts of his money and took a chance on moving promoter. Ultimately Floyd and 50 have ruined what he had going and he's in the middle of nowhere atm. Seemed like a solid decision at the time, but he will now regret not staying put, boxing Rios' ears off and being in a great spot.

            It's very unfortunate seing your favourite fighter go from a mini-wrecking machine to an inactive fighter bouncing around the wrong weight divisions.

                    In what world did signing with 50 cent look like a good idea at the time? 50 paid a lot for him too, top rank was more than happy to hand him over.

                    Gamboa had it good with top rank, pretty easy fights, good paycheck from HBO, and a good future. Everything was set for Gamboa. Now he has nothing and no one, if 50 isn't paying top rank, he isn't fighting.

                    This idiot left one of the two best promotional companies in then world for 50 cent. Smh
