They had already agreed to pay Vargas what he asked for. Vargas had signed his end of the deal. It was Kell that wanted to much money. Hearn is on video a day or two before they announced the GGG fight saying he's about to go talk to Kell to convince him to fight Vargas for the amount offered because unifying will lead to bigger fights with Garcia or Thurman. You're making stuff up or intentionally lyingComment

Brook always looked for the easy route... Let's digest that for a second. Compared to who exactly? Let's run through the list:
Keith Thurman - Who did he beat for his title?
Was upgraded to full champ after Guerrero?
Amir Khan - Which unbeaten, top 5 WW champ did he beat in his life?
Danny Garcia - Vacant WBC strap against Guerrero?
Errol Spence - Fought Chris Algieri & Leonard Bundu for a mandatory? What has he done the 'hard' way?
Kell Brook - Moved up two weight classes to fight a guy who knocked out 22 straight opponents, gave him his best fight and didn't hit the deck once and was up on the cards. Went to the U.S to fight Shawn Porter, who came off of 2 dominant victories over Alexander when he was the champ and Malignaggi who was left in a coma.
Brook choosing da easy route doe
Khan is probably easier than Spence, although none of them are a challenge if Brook is healthy. Khan just makes 10 times more money.Last edited by LacedUp; 01-02-2017, 01:29 PM.Comment

That's what I just said! Nothing was signed from Brook's side. Vargas had already signed his part.
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
Arum then says he had been working on the Brook-Vargas deal, waiting for Brook's side to finalize the agreement. But although Arum hadn't heard back from Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn for about a week, he had no clue that they were about to go in a stunningly different direction.
Here is Eddie Hearn, four days before announcing Brook-GGG, saying he's going to talk to Kell to convince him to take the Vargas fight. Starts at 30:40

When the brexit happened, the money wasn't there. Brook would make nothing so they went back with a revised offer which was refused by Vargas.
That was confirmed by Bob Arum:
So yeah, I don't see why I should sit down.
I'm not sure if you're suggesting Brook ducked Vargas, I hope not. The simple matter is that the money wasn't there for the fight to happen.Last edited by LacedUp; 01-02-2017, 01:49 PM.Comment
