Vargas turned down $1.61 Mil to fight Brook

[Eff Pandas]

I think its the whole guilty conscience thing, like Karmas gonna come right back at him. Like when you cheat on your girl and dont get caught but expect it to bite you in the @$$ 1day sorta thing... lol

LOL great analogy.

Well, to be fair, it would take a miracle worker to sell a fight against Bizier. Joshua is riding a wave just now and has struck lucky with the casual audience while Brook has had one notable fight in the U.S that many in the U.K didn't even watch, even that wasn't a defining fight or a big draw. His chance to build momentum has disappeared after nearly 2 years with no other notable fights. Hearn needs to take a loss to make a gain in this scenario. Breaking even on a show, Brook taking a small cut in any U.K fight or travelling for a 50/50 split are his only options. I don't think Liam Smith is worth anything, not a big enough name and the American audience won't care

Thats what i am saying

That's a good offer but the problem is Hearn and Brook are the ones under pressure, they have to make a big fight now after all the talk. They can't be seen to be fighting another brazier, they would either have to upped their offer or go with another big name or go to America and fight Vargas with the same offer.

[sicko]

Offer is MORE THAN FAIR might actually be OVERPAYING for Vargas lets be honest!

Maybe Hearn is not lying about people not wanting to fight Kell Brook

I guess Vargas will be waiting for Pacquiao then. Maybe he'll try to do a Bradley rematch.

[LacedUp]

yes but he never had a title back then

he has a title now

hearn should pay $3 million

wtf are you basing that on?

He can't draw flies to turds, yet needs to be paid more than the likes of Kovalev and GGG to face Kell Brook? GTFO

[LacedUp]

Thats what i am saying

That is without doubt already happening.

You haven't even seen Brook's purse either. Let's imagine he gets the same or a little bit more. That's 3-4 million.

[LacedUp]

If Martin got that thatn Vargas def deserves that. I honestly thought when hearn said generous it was going to be in that ballpark because I figured after tax and everything Jessie would be a millionaire still. 1.6 still keeps him About Thousands...

In this world you can't compare Martin to Vargas.

[LacedUp]

Vargas manager is the one telling him it's ****** to turn down the fight. This is Cameron Dunkin, not some run of the mill 2nd rate manager like Michael Koncz. His manager is telling him to take the fight because there's nothing over here going on for him. But I'm sure Frankie Bruno knows more than Cameron Dunkin

No no FrankieBruno of boxingscene, the khanturd knows better than Cameron Dunkin

[LacedUp]

Got dang!!!

I can't blame him then. So much for making 3 times more than the Bradley fight. If you have to give up 50% off the top then that is crazy. Thanks for the info

Listen, why the hell would anyone pay income tax in a country you don't reside in? That doesn't make any sense whatsoever. The U.S and UK have a trade treaty, they will probably have some kind of withholding tax but under no circumstances would you EVER be double taxed - And you would still have to file that income in the U.S.

So no, a U.S fighter WOULD NOT have to pay full income tax in the UK.
