Kell Brook is brave but Saunders & Jacobs are afraid?

[Motorcity Cobra]

If Brook was offered the same deal as Eubank Jr, $3-$4 mil, why is he considered brave when that's what Jacobs and Saunders wanted? When they said that they were called scared or accused of ducking.

Kell didn't want to fight Vargas because he was getting paid less than Vargas $1.7 mil. The money wasn't good enough for the risk he was taking. Which brings me back to what most of us have been saying. Nobody is afraid of GGG. They want to be compensated properly for the risk they're taking.

Pretty good points.

Who are we kidding? Jacobs, Saunders, Eubanks, they are bigger guys than Brook and they're in the same division. And this is coming from the same poster who bashed Brook for years.

Is the opportunity to beat a multi titled guy in your own division no longer have any value anymore in this effing sport? And they have to demand astronomical sums forgetting that a win will entail far bigger money in their careers?

This sport is truly f#kd.

Right or Wrong: A boxer's purse isn't primarily affected by how bad they might get their ass kicked in the fight. This is my assumption after seeing many of these purse leaks.

They don't want to be compensated properly, they want to be compensated far beyond what they make elsewhere or is realistically possible to make the fight. You can't give Daniel Jacobs or Chris Eubank Jr. 5 million to fight Golovkin and still justify the fight financially.

They know this when they say stupid **** like Quillin used to about wanting 10 million dollars.

Why are you now raising the purses? BJS said he'd fight for what Brook is getting paid to fight. They offered him what Brook was offered to fight Vargas and he turned it down just like Brook turned down the fight against Vargas.

And that belt has just become more expensive if the reports of BJS fighting Canelo in December have any truth to them.

jacobs is fighting mora for much less than he would get fighting fighting ggg. brook is fighting ggg for more than he would have got for fighting vargas. brook's logic makes sense. jacobs does not.
