By now I'm sure you've heard
the talented Cuban, Yuriorkis Gamboa, has settled his dispute with Top Rank
that now makes him a free agent. What's lost in all this is that Gamboa was
really seeking his freedom from his original promoter, Ahmet Oner and Arena Box-Promotion.
At the end, unlike most divorces, everybody seemed to get what they wanted.
I'm told that Top Rank got
upwards of more than a million bucks to settle whatever legal claims they had
against the fighter (and a future percentage of his earnings too) and Gamboa
got his emancipation and is free to join the likes of Mayweather
Promotions/Golden Boy.
And with that, perhaps the
fans will get an opportunity to see a Gamboa-Adrien Broner fight down the line.
