Arum won't be doing any business with Brook and his people any time soon. Hearn practically screwed Arum by using his fighters to get negotiating edge over the fighters Hearn really wanted for his fighters. He used Rios, Chaves and Donaire, made it appear he was negotiating with them.
Hmm I think people are overrating Brook as a beast. He's very physically strong and can punch a bit but I still feel he has some question marks. Think he could poss have an easier time with Khan than Vargas.
Why are people ****ting on this fight? This isn't the same vargas from a couple years back, not to mention he holds a position as a leading contender now.
Brook v Vargas is a good fight and better than fighting the biziers and jo jo dans of the world. Especially with Bradley, khan and pac all busy.
Well, when is the last time Pac Man has torched anybody? I agree that Pac probably wins but I think Crawford could make it interesting, and a lot of people even feel he has a chance. Crawford lost early rounds against those guys then adjusted and proceeded to knock them the F out, you're underrating him badly here. I think Arum clearly wanted Pac VS Crawford this April but Pac and his team chose Bradley again.
This is gonna sound cliche but he's fought a lot of guys who are durable and hard to stop. Something tells me Crawford isn't very durable.
Losing early rounds against C/D level guys like Dulorme and Lundy is terrible. He shouldn't need time to adjust against such low level guys. Even Gamboa, I know he's very talented, but he's like half of Crawford's size and inactive.
I just don't see what the hype is about with Crawford. He's a good fighter at best, nothing more.
And I don't think Pac chose Bradley, Arum made it seem that way. A lot of the things said by these guys get lost in translation and taken out of context.
Honestly I don't think Arum wants to make Pac vs Crawford, he's just marketing Crawford. Even this version of Pac would torch Crawford, that's very obvious. If it was a winnable fight for Crawford, I agree Arum would be all over it.
Crawford has lost lots of rounds against Gamboa, Dulorme and Hank. He really isn't that good.

No he hasn't but Arum clearky wants a Pacquiao VS Crawford PPV, this could be his way to get Crawford a strap to sell the fight as Pac fighting a rising star with a 147 belt.

Crawford hasn't even fought a top 15 guy at 140 yet, I doubt he jumps up to 147 unless it's for Pac, but Arum won't do that cos Pac would absolutely wreck Crawford
If Benavidez can't make 140 anymore, I'd like Vargas vs Benavidez

Crawford VS Vargas would make sense for Arum to get Crawford a strap at 147 and make a possible fight against the Pac/Bradley winner bigger.

Who has he got at 147 tho? Especially if Pac beats Bradley then retires...

We really don't know how good Brook actually is based off one good fight so it might be competitive as Vargas always brings it. Both have a belt, nice unification bout, make it happen.

i expect that we'll get bradley-vargas next regardless of the bradley-pacquiao result
No way.
Brook would take him out.
If Vargas gets that Bradley rematch, Brook should look to face the winner of that or try and make a fight with Danny Garcia.
Why not, i would totally like to see Vargas unify with any of the 147 champs, be it Thurman, Garcia or Brook.
Its a shame the old man wont work with Haymon so fights with Keith and Danny fights are not realistic and im not even sure about Brook Vargas, Arum just might rather keep the belt in house like he been doing for a while now..
Yeah I don't wanna see it either. Vargas is a solid guy but not on Brook's level.
I'd like to see Vargas vs Chaves
Arum will keep everything in house, so yes Chaves could be next
Brooks best option is to face Cotto, he might need to move up in weight though
I really hope not, people were laughing when it was suggest Khan could face Vargas. Many on here thought Khan would pick Vargas has his next opponent
I'm sure Brooks dickriders will now hype up Vargas.
Brook walks all over Vargas
Yeah I don't wanna see it either. Vargas is a solid guy but not on Brook's level.
I'd like to see Vargas vs Chaves
