Although I understand Gamboa's situation and having a dispute with BobFather Arum but he should have known that The BobFather would pull some "catch" on either his contracts, money, deals, and fights. Look at Pacquiao, Clottey, DelaHoya and what happened to Mayweather. Gamboa had to know somewhat of what he was getting into and there were reports in the past that Gamboa wasn't so fond of his past deals with Top Rank in his fights. To pull this bullshit on his fans and hardcore boxing fans is nothing short than disrespectful. He should have outlined the clear deal he wanted to The BobFather instead of calling out Rios and asking for one of the press conferences to be put in his hometown then look at the deal and not decide to show up.

I like Gamboa as a fighter and he is extraordinarily talented and a athletic specimen but I'm tired of fighters bitching about their deals when they should get their own lawyers who can read them the fine print of deals and contracts instead of putting everything to their promoter or manager. You can't trust neither promoter or manager when it comes to the sport of boxing. Gamboa's ignorance and attitude of not researching costed the boxing fans a fight that many wanted to see and would have paid good hard earned money for.

With that said, fuck Gamboa and give us Rios-Marquez or DeMarco-Rios.

advances can be paid back.

Ask Manny how long that takes! Seriously, why take an advance, if your stuff is in order already? If it's only $70k and his contract has expired, then he should be okay. Now if he takes those Pacquiao advances (consecutive cases of millions), then he may be stuck. I highly doubt that's the case though.

Marquez maybe old and still dangerous but he has yet faced an opponent who constantly puts pressure on him lately and willingly fight in the inside. Rios is a good inside fighter and has a good chin on him. The man has iron will and the heart the size of Japan. Then again this is JMM who we're talking bout.

What about Juan Diaz? Marquez has fought Manny 3 times and held his own w/o losing his marbles or staring retirement in the face. Has Rios fought a JMM-type fighter? Almost everyone that Rios has fought, either had skill and no pop, pop and no skill, or a little bit of both with no mental toughness.

True! What JMM would do to Rios is what JMM does to everyone without a lot of skill and speed. Undress them and kill them.
