Comments Thread For: Vargas Vows: Kell Brook Unification Will Be Very Entertaining!

[Boxfan83]

He's got the style to get knocked out

Brook hits hard and Vargas is open

Hopefully brook gets credit when he wins

Vargas has a good chin. Brook wont be able to handle the pressure. Vargas is to rangy to be tied up. Vargas has the longer reach. Bad style for Brooks.

Unless they get a massive fight it's not worth it for UK fighters to fight abroad, they make more money fighting in the UK. Their opponents usually make more too, Vargas has already turned down a $1.6 million offer, 3x what he got paid for Bradley.

Kell hasn't had a massive fight yet. Porter was his peak, best, got him the most, fight. Khan? Is that the massive fight?

Brook only got $200k for the Porter fight. He's getting crowds of 10k+ in the UK aswell as decent TV money. It's not worth him going to America for $200k purses.

I don't understand your logic. If Kell is so good, he could develop an American fan base and get paid by two streams, here and there. As it is he ignores one of the biggest markets in the world. Why settle for UK money while US money is on the table too?

Brook and Vargas are jabbers it'll be interesting to see who will win the jabbing contest

Like Amir Khan? His fan base has took a massive hit in the UK. He was making far less money fighting in America than he was fighting in the UK, until he got lucky landing the Canelo fight. Even American fighters aren't getting the pay in America that UK fighters make in the UK. Like i said unless it's a massive fight there's no incentive to fight in America for UK fighters.

It's a good fight all things considered. I fully expect Brook to be too sharp, too strong and punch way too hard for Vargas though.

Stoppage around rounds 7-9 seems plausible to me.

Khan was last seen in a prone position. His fan base took a hit world wide, but he at least went for all the marbles. He didn't shame himself in the ring and he might have ruined himself, but he pocketed 13 mil. That is a serious pay day. He need not fight again here or there. How many fights does Kell need to get thirteen mil? and that was for a sure KO loss in Los Vegas. I can't imagine his ultimate pay had he won, endorsements and such. 300 million? If it happened before, it can happen again.

Khan-Canelo was a massive fight, of course Brook would fight in America for that kind of money. Look at Khan's fights in America prior to that, he wasn't making as much as he was in the UK. Like i said unless it's a massive fight there's no incentive to fight in America for UK fighters.

Brook would probably move up if he wins anyway.

Makes sense to target Smith and then Canelo after this.
