Comments Thread For: Vargas: Golden Boy Didn't Offer Enough Money to Fight Cotto

[Shadoww702]

Not if it comes with an option and low ball $. Fighters have to pay trainers managers training camp etc. Doesn’t make sense to go in the -red to fight a washed up Cotto.

No BS! When i was younger and boxed and could barely walk some days I would go to a college school of massage to get a $20 1 hour massage... My girl got to tired of doing it. As i was sore as *** sometimes! I couldnt afford the real ones. Ppl dont realize there is soo much more than just showing up!

Nice pr tactic by Golden Boy doe! Make ****ty offers to a bunch of profile fighters and then leak it to the public when they decline. It’s obvious by Cotto last 2 opponents that he wasn’t looking to fight anyone relevant

I wouldn't exactly call Mikey Garcia or Jessie Vargas high profile, and we have no clue what they were offered but i bet theyre overvaluing themselves which is what pbc fighters tend to do.

Shoulda took the fight. Hes been inactive as hell and he woulda came back to a big payday

How can you over value yourself if that's the rate you're getting?

If somebody is willing to pay me fee that's what I'm worth. Anything lower and I'm cheating myself.

Vargas is dumber than I thought. He left top rank who just signed a big deal with espn to go to Pbc which is tanking and he'll be lucky to fight once a year. He made close to 3 million to fight pacquiao which is more than thurman garcia porter or almost any other pbc fighter has made in a fight. Hes ducking crawford and horn and now he thinks he can go get easy paydays at pbc but im willing to bet haymon is going to throw him to the wolves

you dont buy your contract out if you are making money...we all know bob was probably ripping him off...

I've been reading the rumours but has Vargas officially left TR now?

[RapidSon]

Vargas tryna price himself out saying high risk lol reward. Vargas can't even win a meaningful fight to even work up to a good payday unless its handed to him. Who is he to talk all high maintenance.

The sad thing about that is Pac was the draw not Vargas. No one really thought he was a contender they just wanted to see someone get knocked out. Also no way Jessie generates those type of numbers by himself.

Vargas has only lost to Bradley and Pac??? WTF??? One is for sure HOFamer. While the other is very close! God Damn some of you casual fans SUK!!!

Go back to watching UFC. Vargas is pretty popular in S. Cali. And Vegas

Lets not forget against Bradley he had him ready to go down before a RTARDED ref. Stopped the fight with like 10 seconds left...
