Comments Thread For: Hearn Says Smith Offer is Low For Kell Brook; Vargas To Get $1.7

That's what you gotta pay to get fighters to travel over there. So imagine what Danny Garcia or Keith Thurman would demand. Brandon Rios didn't even want to go over there. I think Bradley would probably travel for something similar to this price. Brook is going to have to travel if he wants those fights.

Bradley's lowest purse against Rios was 1.9 million. Its probably going to take about 3 million and up to get Bradley to cross the pond.

$1.7m ? Good for Vargas, I did not know the fight was worth enough for that.

But he gets taxed out the ass too so he might get half. Maybe

Notice that Hearn quote: "We think Vargas has come out and said he’s signed his deal, but what that means is he’s agreed with Top Rank what he’s getting for the fight."

I wonder if that means Vargas is only getting a portion of the 1.7m? How much of that is Arum putting in his own pocket?

If Vargas loses who else is Bradley going to fight? A fight with Brook would be easier to make than a fight with any of the PBC fighters. Bradley is kinda in no mans land right now. He's going to have to move up to 154 and that's loaded with PBC fighters. Maybe he'll get Canelo? I think Cotto would be a good fight at 154. Hopefully that fight gets made. But if Bradley can't get either one of those I can't think of anyone he can fight.

Brandon rios said he was willing to travel if the money was right, hearn couldnt make a good offer

And he got 900k for his next fight against Bradley. He wouldn't travel for the same amount. And it's a shame because the boxing scene over there is better. Rios could get consistent work over in the UK. He only fought once last year and has nothing on the horizon. His contract with Top Rank is up in July so hopefully something will happen for him.

J.V. is bringing that IBF title back to the states. lets go champ!!!

Vargas is one dimensional but has enough chin and pressure might give some fits to Brook if they don't let him hold as much as he did against Porter

This is going to be a heck of a SCRAP!!! Can't wait. Neither one can afford to have a bad day and expect to win. I'm at 50/50 on who wins. Probably give Brook the edge since it's in his backyard.

Hope so...Honestly feel like the first lazy jab might be countered and it'll be good night for Jessie but I'd prefer a great fight.
