Jessie Vargas will just be sacrificed to Tim Bradley or Brad Solomon anyway.

Trust me you don't **** with Top Rank. GBP may be Apple, but Top Rank is Samsung, and you can all go check the news, Apple has to be pay daaages to Samsung.

Floyd invested like probably 500k on him. I know he got 100k in each of his last 3 fights, and who knows what he was getting before that. So i'm just throwing 500k out there. And no manager fees, no nothing, Vargas got to keep all that money, thanks to Floyd letting him. Now he leaves lol.

But I agree with every one though, I never had anything to say about him, either positive or negative, cause he just hasn't fought any one. Cause he just hasn't fought any one for me to have an opinion on him. His fight with Josesito Lopez, Steve Forbes and a little of Trenton Titsworth[just the kiss part] is the only fights i've seen of his. He looked his best against Forbes, it seemed like he had improved since his Lopez fight.

TBH how you think Gary Shaw feels.

lets see MIGUEL COTTO , FLOYD MAYWEATHER , OSCAR DE LA HOYA .SHOULD I CONTINUE... WHY YOU THINK THEY LEFT ARUM COZ HE WAS SUCH A NICE GUY....MY PIC IS AWESOME DO YOU KNOW WHO EDDIE BROCK IS ?

Oscar left because his contract was up and he already had offerrs of money and partners who wanted to use his Golden Boy name for promotions. Mayweather being Mayweather was as arrogant and childish as we well know him to be, and in a snit demanded to be released from his contract, which had a clause in which he could buy himself out. He still had money coming from Top Rank, which they were paying as it came in. They said that when he'd had 98% of the money, they discovered owed them much more for a different matter, so they stopped the payments. They didn't bother getting back the overpayment becuase legal fees would have been much more.

Cotto's contract was up, and he was expecting to renew, he said so, but by coincidence of timing Mayweather was looking for a good opponent and made Cotto a good offer which he accepted. It's only 5 months since his contract expired and he's not sure what he'll do next. He may re-sign with Top Rank, or, because he's had a taste of big money, decide to stay independent, and sign for 1 fight at a time. He said that he left with the greatest respect for Arum and thanked him for everything he'd done for him. Paraphrased, but his own words printed in this site.

Who knows, or cares. All I want to point out is that none of these fighters you mentioned was cheated by Arum. And I've never heard of any who were. Even Gamboa recently, said that he had no bad feelings against Top Rank they treated him well, but it was against Ohner and his company Arena Box-Promotion. His own words, printed right here. This later grew under Mayweather's influence to also include Top Rank.

You're just another Arum scrubbie. It must be a great feeling to be able to hide in your basement room, behind a keyboard and pour out hatred on the head of an old man, who never did anything to you, except to be a lot smarter than you and those you admire. It's an obsessive neurosis.

He sold his soul to the devil. It seems to me like mayweather promotions didn't want to resign him after two horrible performances. He had two horrible fights but he has to hurry up and get better. If not he is in for a rude awakening.

[HazeAnatomy]

what a Dumb Kid.... Im sure Bob Promised him to make him a "Star", but he'll end up being a sacrificially Lamb for Top Ranks REAL Welterweights. And did I just read Vargas is a Top 10 WW. GTFOH!!! LMAO!

Jesse Vargas is garbage, I never saw what Floyd saw in the guy. Top Rank will probably use him as a sacrificial lamb for Mike Jones to regain his confidence.

[edgarg]

he supposedly has andre dirrell and caballero as well. but we'll see. they guy has to put more energy into his promotional venture if he expects it to be any better and he hasnt done that as of yet.

As far as I know, Caballero has his own promoting company, and has been promoting fights in Colon. So he probably promotes himself, his company is Pelenchin Promotions. He is also advised by Sampson Lefkowitz, who won the recent purse bid for the Celestino-Garcia fight.

Have fun being a puppet.
