Comments Thread For: Gamboa Says HBO Door is Opening After Arum Closed It

[Elinmortal]

Gamboa didn't play bob, he played himself, he had a winnable fight set up with rios amd backed out.

Than he wanted to leave, and I know from sources in the biz, 50 paid out his ass to get gamboa. Top rank was more than happy to let him go for what 50 paid for him.

Now 50 and gamboa are begging arum for fights.

bob spent 1.5 mill! umm yea gamboa played him and i dont think he is begging bob he is doing what real boxers do in boxing witch is challenge the best in the division. if you fallow boxing you wold know that gamboa has allways challenged the best in his division

Gamboa is a real deal unlike ovehyped overrated Garcia.

Good he's left top fraud organization.

Looking forward to this clash.

Gamboa will KO glassjaw Mikey.

I get the fact that you like Gamboa as do I, but no serious boxing fan, at least not one who is a boxing purist can call Mikey Garcia "overhyped" and "overrated".

I do agree with you about his jaw, there are question marks and we will find out if he is related to Amir Khan in that area but Mikey is a solid and skilled fighter. He certainly does not deserve the diatribes you have spoken against him.

Gamboa had agreed to make the fight and all the arrangements were well under way. it is commonplace for fighters to agree so as to allow the complicated promotional arrangements to be begun, and then actually sign the contract often just 2-3-4 weeks before the fight. This is an industry practice.

In this case, there was a major Press and TV spectacular arranged in Miami AT GAMBOA'S SPECIAL REQUEST, and he didn't show up, saying later, that as he had not actually signed the contract he wasn't obligated.

Top Rank had already spent over a million dollars in promoting the fight, which documentation they presented in court. Gamboa was/is a fool, listening to Mayweather's whispering into his ear to leave Top Rank.

When the "chips" were down, Mayweather also reneged on his obligation to his long-time buddy-buddy Curtis Jackson with whom he was starting a boxing promotion company. He didn't put in his $2 mill share, and after the company had bought out Gamboa's contract for $1.25 mill an signed several other fighters, (using Jackson's money) he scrammed, leaving his good friend Jackson in a mess. To his credit, Jackson, did the best he could, and continued with the promotion company, taking over all the fighters already signed. Jackson's relationship with Top Rank is very good.

It also shows that Arum does not hold business grudges...regardless of what that dumbo Gamboa is saying, because if Arum didn't want this fight it wouldn't be held. From what he has shown mentally until now, I think he'll likely end badly.

This guy knows his ****.

I know people in the biz and this is on point of exactly what went down. Good post...

why are people mad at gombo playing bob *** bob, if more fighters did what gambo did maybe bob wont get away with so much ****.

Yeah, man.. Gamboa's career has really disappointed me, he could of been big.. Albeit, it's not all his fault but still leaves a bitter feeling when thinking about it. With already wins over Salido and De Leon he was really coming up, a win over Juanma before he went downhill would have been huge. Arum really ****ed that up. That would have opened a looot of doors for Gamboa.

Then the whole Rios fiasco, he should have just taken the damn fight! That would have been the icing on the cake, he would have been the man in the lower divisions. I mean, Abril beat him.. Gamboa would have done so in a much more entertaining fashion IMO. But, looking at how his career really played out.. ****.

Yah I feel your pain with Gamboa's professional career. The way he took out Jorge Solis will forever be engrained into my memory. Swaying back and forth like a tornado and extremely explosive...He was in top form

[CounterPunching]

That's a given Rios got his ass beat by damn Abril. That's part of the Irony tho if Gamboa would have stuck around for one more fight with the people he wasn't happy with he would have gotten such an easy career defining win and then could have done w.e the fk he wanted unless they robbed him too of course.

war gamboa! anyone in NYC want to put money on mikey come see me ill put some G$$$ on gamboa you people kill me betting fake ass points

Now it is your turn to prove this is true by staying active and performing at the level you did back in 2008. This Garcia is a perfect chance for Gamboa to make a statement and back up his claims. IF he is ready to act on it, the Garcia bout will be a VERY interesting one to watch.

This should be a Good Test, for both Cat's...
Gamboa will Be in Tough, with Mickey!!!

M.G. Looks like the Real Deal, to Me!!!

Don't no who Wins, but I like Mickey's Skills, and as for Gamboa....

Word..HaHaHa Ha!!!
