      Yeah but they are his potential future big stars, especially Crawford. He needs to keep a few fighters sweet especially with Pac on the way out. The last thing he would want is someone like Crawford leaving him when the contract is up, so he needs to pay him over the odds right now.

      Vargas is different. He's not a future star no matter what Arum would say. He's never really put his money where his mouth is like he does with Crawford. Vargas never even got close to that amount for his biggest name fight with Bradley. Everyone has their price bracket. Vargas will not make $1.6m anytime soon.

        Fear has a strong stench. And he is absolutely reeking of it.

            It says in the article he got 3 times as much to fight Tim
            No it says its 3 times as much as he got against Tim

Could be worse if Vargas is a Haymon fighter when you think about Garcia wanted $5 mil in the Matthysse fight; there's Quillin wanting $5 -10 mil in a GGG fight.
              Crawford sells a lot of tickets in Nebraska. Not sure how that translates to his purse, though if you sell 10,000 tickets at an average of 100 dollars a pop that's a million right there. Even in nyc he drew well.

                  That's damn good money for a fighter like Vargas. No excuse to not take the fight

                    rigth move cause no matter what he was gonna get robbed, 1.6 million to get robbed and start at the beggining again is not worth it.

                    You basically putting a price on your life works going overseas.

                      According to Vargas he gets robbed here in the states too so he should take the money!

                      BTW, anyone else notice America seems to be gaining ground fast on other countries in regard to horrible decisions and hometown robberies......
