    So did we ever get an answer from Mikey's camp on why he didnt sign against Gambao?

    I was just wondering about it cause I remember Gambao tweeted about how he met all of Mikey's demands financially and everything, and how that if the fight still wasnt signed it was a straight duck. And the fight wasnt signed and there was a whole big stir up....But what was Mikey's reason from his camp? I never caught it. All I saw was a BS sechbach video with Brandon Rios explaining why the fight didnt get signed and he wasnt making sense.

    If I remember correctly either it was both or one of them pricing themselves out. Mikey wanted at least a mil and Gamboa wanted a bigger chunk then he deserved too I believe.

    Also I don't think HBO wants Gamboa on and they won't put up the money for Gamboa and apparently neither Uchiyama...

    Bob Arum says that Mikey Garcia won’t be fighting Yuriorkis Gamboa, and that HBO isn’t interested in Garcia facing Takashi Uchiyama. Will Mikey end up in Macao next?

        Bob himself said Mikey wants a **** load of money. Smh this boxing **** is getting lame bro. Ducking and pricing yourself is what we hear on a daily basis. It's disgusting. And then we (the fans) are ones that get ****ed outta fights we want to see.

                Really easy, Gamboa wanted more money than Mikey, Bob wasn't having that shyt from a known scumbag. He said phukk Gamboa and moved on, then team Scumbag, I mean Gamboa, back tracked and said they'll take $500K, are you serious.

                  quit lying

                  mikey wants no part of gamboa. garcia and those mexicans are scared ****less of cuban fighters, they know the deal.

                  mikey garcia is a guy who wants to make the most money out of boxing then leave w ithout taking risks. he gives a fguck about figting the best.
