Comments Thread For: Vargas: Brook Wanted Payday, Nobody Expects Him To Beat GGG

[j0zef]

Vargas, who couldn't agree with Brook bc he wanted to get paid, is saying Brook wants to get paid? GTFO.

That's like Wlad or Ward complaining about clinching.

Holy **** I'm behind on my boxing news. Hell Brook is fighting GGG? **** yes!

Fully expect GGG to win, but Brook's is gonna make a name for himself when he puts up a competetive fight. Can't wait for this.

LOL, Jessie Vargas is funny as hell, he acts like he's the boogie man or something and everyone is ducking him. To be honest he's the weakest of all the champions at 147 and would easy work for a lot of guys at 147. How about he callout Thurman, Porter, Spence or even Garcia. Jessie thinks he's a lot better than what he really is.

Brook took the same offer given to Eubanks. Eubanks, the bigger guy in the same division wanted more. There's never been anything like it and I doubt there'll be another one in the future.

Vargas signed for the fight

Brook is the one who didnt want it

Say whatever you want about Vargas he was willing to come to the UK and put his title on the line

Brook just didnt fancy it

Had Brook lost to Vargas, his stock would fall and he wouldnt have made a lot of money

Losing to GGG, his stock doesn't fall and he gets paid

There is nothing Brook can lose by fighting GGG, whereas with Vargas there was a risk, a small risk, but a risk

Every boxer in the world wants a payday. When the oppurtunity is there, they take it. Those who never have the oppurtunity always complain about those who do get it. When they're in the outside looking in they are sour g****s, but when they're in those same boxers are all good and quiet talking about business and "making sense"

Vargas agreed with Top Rank, not with Hearn.

Also, if he didn't do it for the money himself, he would have accepted the offer which would have still been more than triple his best ever payday. but he didn't

Brook and Hearn also agreed. On July 4th Brook said everything was good and the fight was going to be announced within 48 hours

Nah. That's nonsense. Vargas is among the weakest links in the division. No way Brook would see Vargas as a threat.

This was Hearn's mistake. He didn't foresee issues with Brook and Eubank would come up at exactly the same time. Hearn found a way to fix it. He's lucky Brook accepted. Problem solved.

What is the purse of this fight? Who is getting what?

[IronDanHamza]

The dude is young. People who have never been in the ring before dont understand that this fight could end his career for all intents and purposes. He could definitely make 4 million in 2 easy fights. This kid can easily make 200 million over the next 15 years. Golovkin could ruin him with one punch. Physically you lose a lot in the wrong fight. Your brain can shut down quicker for protection. You lose confidence and your future opponents gain confidence. The list goes on and on but believe me Brook's career is worth 50 times what he's making in this fight but he's risking it anyway. Its because he wants glory. But Boxing "fans" who know nothing about being an athlete, let alone a Boxer, never appreciate guys like this until they're gone.

Explain how he can make 4 million in two easy fights?

He's struggle to make it in two hard fights.

He certainly can't fight "anyone" Kell Brook isn't exactly a big earner. How much do you think he got paid for his last 3 fights? I'll answer for you; Not much.
