Comments Thread For: Kell Brook, Hearn at Odds Over Money For Jessie Vargas Fight

[LacedUp]

Bull SHT!!! If there crying and having this hard of a time to get Jessie Vargas and they're calling his money HUGE!!! I HIGHLY doubt they could afford Bradley, Garcia, or one of the other top names. I even doubt they could afford Khan...

Well isn't it triple what Vargas has earned in his career so far? Everything is relative dude. It's ok you don't understand that the pot for a Brook vs Khan fight isn't the same as a Brook vs Vargas fight.

No shocker i told everyone months ago, Kell is having to take a hit and isnt getting paid

He'll do a deal with Haymon sooner or later

And add costs of sparring partners etc, plus taxes. Usually, unless the rules have changed, you can expect the fighter will net about 50-60% of the gross figure they've agreed to.

yeah but the same holds true for brook

Brook wants to be paid for the potential @$$ whoopin hes facing, its understandable. I just hope this fight doesnt go down the drain.

Very silly of Brook. He isn't a big draw in terms of PPV or crowds, there isn't a huge pot of cash. He'll get paid well and end up with two belts which makes him a more attractive fight for the likes of Thurman/Porter, Garcia and Bradley.

Like Brook gets to keep all his purse, he has the same bills and leeches. Oh Kell is a financial wiz now too? A meticulous lawyer is a big expense in itself, off the top.

Taxes fool

Lol, Brook setting the stage to duck the fight......pathetic

You yanks are funny.

[SUBZER0ED]

Lol, Brook wants it all; home arena & the lion's share of the dough. Everybody's a damn diva these days.

Taxes fool

Taxes? That's it? You could have said something smart, but I'm a fool. RIGHT.
