      Yep, and there was nobody his own size that would have beat Gamboa. He was levels above anyone.

      He made bad decisions on his promoter, on his trainer, on moving up multiple weight classes....it all just snowballed into a big mess that has wasted his talent and career.

      Still my favourite fighter, but things are looking bleak.

        He was lured by TMT, 50 and Floyd were bestest friends back then, in fact, they were running TMT together, then they had a fallout because Floyd was ducking Pacquiao or 50 was ****ing Floyd's girlfriend or whatever, they parted ways and company, 50 founded SMS promotions and took Gamboa with him.

        Point is, Gamboa left TR thinking he was going to join Floyd's company.

          Oh f#ck. Who the hell is BB Promotions? This guy an assistant manager at the Home Depot in Spain who really likes boxing or something?

          I'm extremely respectful of that Cuban amateur boxing iron sharpening iron factory they built & therefore a big fan of Cuban amateurs who turn pro, but holy **** Cuban boxers are notoriously bad at the business side of things.

                I would blame his ignorance from coming out of Cuba where things are obviously drastically different, but he's been pro long enough to know better. Wtf!

                  Knowing this I had just kinda assumed Gamboa was going to sign with Mayweather Promotions once the 50 thing was handled. Is the 50 thing handled btw or is BB Promotions gonna be a co-promoter with 50?

                  Also noticed this promoter isn't just someone I've never heard of, they are rightfully someone we all have never heard of cuz Gamboa is their first fighter under contract. Wtf man. Any decent prospect on up should know better to sign with a promotion that has no fighters.

                    BB promotions is on the rise folks. They also just signed cornflake to a 38 Million dollar 7000 fight deal using a Greek hedge-fund.

                      That's why with no fanbase boxers like Rigo and Lara have made so much money.

                      BTW still a better at business than Mikey Garcia.
