Comments Thread For: Vargas: Kell Brook Saw Me as Too Much Risk For Money Offered

This is, I have to say, becoming a pattern in the Hearn camp.
Just when things are going well, hell breaks loose all of a sudden.

Brook gets no props for fighting Triple G in my book, there is no risk involved, nothing whatsoever.

He knows he is going to lose, Hearn knows he is going to lose, we all know he is going to lose

All this **** about "balls", oh give me a break

This is a calculated move to avoid the threats at 147 division, get paid at the same time

He's not coming back down to 147 after this. At least Spence will get his title and then take on Thurman

Loeffler was just on NBC Radio and said that the Eubanks were talking big but when signing the fight they backed out, they waited for 2 weeks and given them more than enough time, but they kept demanding more $ and wanted to change the contract, the ticket prices etc.

Then Brook jumped in and took exactly the deal that the Eubanks declined.

Vargas was the reason for this fight not happening. He was offered 1.4 Mill with his own team claiming that it was a very generous offer. Vargas turned it down and asked for more money.

He claimed a while back that he wanted to fight the best and got a legit offer to do just that, but got exposed when he priced himself out and put a spanner in the works. It just didn't make business sense in any way.

Where did he get the idea that he was worth 2.2 Mill?????

The guy was a chump just looking for some cash out money and trying his best to blame Brook for all this. Just like some scum bags on here did.

You are one seriously creepy weirdo.

Bitter doesn't quite cover for what you are. Creepy doesn't either to be honest.

Seek help quickly please.

Hard to take Vargas seriously when his own manager is on record saying he can't understand why Vargas won't take the fight considering the pay is massive compared to what he usually gets.

Haven't Vargas and Top Rank had the contract for a while now and not signed it?

Best to just skip his posts about Khan or Brook.

Jessie Vargas already has come to an agreement with Top Rank to make 1.7mil to fight Kell Brooks in his back yard. Kell wanted the fight at home he needs to take less of the purse. In a neutral venue it would be a 50-50 purse split. They are even footing. Brooks has the best single win but Vargas has more overall good wins

When fighters and promoters want to make fights they get made easily. GGG-Brook took 2 days to make. Eubank ducked, Saunders ducked, Canelo ran from GGG. Vargas got greedy and it wrecked the unification with Brook. So two undefeated guys with titles will fight each other with Brook moving up but GGG going to his country.

Vargas signed his end of the deal with Top Rank but Top Rank still had to do the provision of services agreement with Matchroom and they numbers were not working. Top Rank needed huge money to take care of Vargas and TR is also entitled to make money and the numbers were not working.
