[aldo5408]

Why would cotto fight Brook for a paycut let gg fight him for crumbs. Cotto is looking at 8 figures not wack ass euro

Didn't Vargas just try to fight him? Try again Eddie

That's true. Vargas had agreed to his end of the contract.

It was Brook who refused.

He basically admitted he's looking for top names not top competition. Spence and Vargas agreed but I guess their names aren't big enough. Vargas has a belt so there's no excuse not to fight him. And Vargas was willing to travel. More proof that Brook took the fight for money not because he has big balls.

My next fight is confirmed for September 3rd in the UK vs Kell Brook. We are preparing for a KO victory and on becoming the #wbo & #ibf world champion. @dcblackkobra bigtexas4191 davidllevi Thank you for your support.

I signed my part of the deal a month ago but things have changed and I want to update and apologize to my fans. The date for my next fight has been changed do to the fact that Brook is having trouble signing his end of the deal. Thank you for your support and I will keep you informed. #teamvargas @dcblackkobra #wbo #unification #fight #boxing real_water

He agreed over a month ago

New York - With so many good welterweights in the world, one would think a star like IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook (36-0, 25KOs) would be getting big fights left and right. Such is not the case.

**** this pvto, Vargas was going into your boys backyard but it was to much of a risk. I hope Kell is forced to medically retire after GGG annihilates his candy ass.

Vargas only agreed with Top Rank - Top Rank never agreed the fight with Hearn because they wanted too much money. $2m plus US TV is what was offered and Top Rank refused. That's 3 times more than Vargas has ever made.

The fight didn't get made because Vargas/Top Rank wanted more money than they were worth.

They didn't want more money than they were worth. Hearn had already agreed to pay them what they negotiated. The money was agreed to that's why Vargas signed his end of the deal. Brook and Hearn pulled out of the fight after they'd already agreed to terms. There is a video I posted yesterday of Kell saying he'd agreed to the fight and the fight would be announced within 48 hrs. That was supposed to be when Hearn announced the GGG-Eubank fight. He was going to announce them both. Hearn saw the Eubank-GGG fight slipping away so Hearn cancelled the Brook-Vargas fight. Hearn said the GGG-Eubank fight would make up for the loss he was taking putting on the Vargas-Brook fight. He was never going to sign the Brook-Vargas fight until he had GGG-Eubank signed first. That's why Vargas was waiting over a month for Kell to sign. Vargas did not price himself out.

The fight didn't get made because Brook was pissed that Vargas would be making more than him.

Cotto ducking like always. Brook has balls, would have probably knocked out Cotto. If Cotto thought he could win why wouldnt he have taken the fight? Only fights to cash out or crippled old fighters like Marquez. Does boxing even need this diva? What a Diva Cotto became over the years, kinda ruined his career.

Who wants to travel to Sheffield for short money? Avoiding a cheap ambush is not ducking.
