According to Todd "The official bout agreement isn't signed yet"

[The Gambler1981]

The last fight I went to was Gamboa vs Solis with Mikey on the undercard, even then I was nervous about buying the ticket months in advance, because stuff like this always happens.

It is lame, and really that isn't the reason that statement is always on the card but it works in the promoters favor none the less.

Shit always happens in boxing, but like anything else if something seems to good to be true it is best to take a real hard look.

Rios will probably be in an exciting fight, so atleast most will get a good show even if it is not what most were expecting.

bout agreements usually don't get signed until closer to the fight. that is typical.

Gamboa just killed that.

I thought everyone knew this.

apparently not

bout agreements literally get signed days before the fight when all parties are present (during fight week) all the time now that people are aware of this all of sudden it becomes an issue?

lol

Top Rank gambling with the fans money, just like they did during the Cotto-Margarito 2 fiasco.

Really?..well tell me why in 39 pro fights Miguel Cottos purse for the Mayweather bout is more than any of his previous 39 fights with Top Rank?

Really bro? You can't connect the dots?

Cotto is getting his biggest payday because he's FIGHTING Mayweather.

Gamboa isn't fighting Mayweather. Mayweather has no quality fighters under his "banner." Mayweather Promotions is nothing but a way for him to shield his profits under a corporation name. He uses Golden Boy for everything, and Gamboa will be fighting GBP promotions.

Again, Mayweather can't offer Gamboa nothing except the opportunity to fight Golden Boy fighters, in co-collaborations w/ Golden Boy.

Top Rank always trying to steal peoples money any way they can. What more do you expect from Bob Arum?

That's messed up. If Floyd and Pac were to actually have press conferences and tours, and have tickets sold; then we could still end up with a cancelled fight. Sadly, I could see that happening.

I have a feeling all Al Haymon fighters will one day fall under Mayweather Promotions. Mayweather will be the face, like DLH, and Haymon will be the brains like Schaefer.

Put yourself in Gamboa's shoes, if Mayweather is talking about you and your name is not PAC, you must be doing something that's catching his attention for something lucrative. If you were Gamboa wouldn't at least listen?
