Comments Thread For: Jessie Vargas To Keith Thurman: Only a Coward Backs Out!

[Motorcity Cobra]

The bout agreement was between Vargas and Top Rank had nothing to do with Hearn or Brook. They were still in negotiations with Hearn and Brook when Vargas signed the agreement with Top Rank.

Vargas was reporting FAKE NEWS not me.

Date was set. Location was set. Money was agreed upon. Vargas was ready to. What Vargas did is the first step towards making the fight. Hearn and Brook didn't do anything. Arum said he stopped hearing from Hearn and he found out Brook was fighting GGG from the media

"They made an offer to us, which we accepted...we indeed had Vargas sign a contract...Eddie was having a hard time making out numbers so that he wouldn't lose his shirt...Eubank was acting a little squirrely...when Brook said, 'Look, I'll take the fight against Golovkin,' Eddie's problems were solved...I don't fault him...Kell Brook's got a big set of balls," stated Hall of Fame promoter Bob Arum, who shared his thoughts on Golovkin vs. Brook and explained why Brook vs. Vargas fell

Thurman looking soft like food on the plate.
I still think there is no respect to be gotten beating a guy that is fresh off surgery however.
At the same time there is no such thing as a get back year as the champion. If you need a get back year you got to relinquish the belts.
The division can’t wait on one fighter.
Plus Thurman is holding up two belts.
He has to fight somebody in the top ten.

Signed or not, that's completely irrelevant. It was Brook who balked at the money Vargas was getting in the fight when he found out.

Which he had every right to do. He was the bigger draw and was going to get paid less. In what world is that fair?

But that's not what your first post said. You tried to make it seem like Vargas was holding up the fight because of the money. That wasn't the case. Vargas was ready to go. Vargas accepted what was offered to him. Vargas is not to blame for that fight no happening.

He deserved what Brook did. Brook was going to take the short money even though he was the draw because Vargas was being a greedy ****.

They were in negotiations in April/May and were still in negotiations at the end of June.

He didn't accept WHAT WAS OFFERED. He held out for more than he deserved. Bending Brook over.

He accepted Hearn's offer. If Kell was getting bent over that's between Kell and Hearn. Vargas aint got nothing to do with what Hearn is paying Kell. Blame Hearn for the fight not happening but don't blame Vargas

Of course he's to do with it. More money for Vargas = less for Brook. If Vargas accepted a lesser offer the fight would have been sorted and Brook wouldn't have been in the position to fight Golovkin. Vargas being a greedy **** cost him the fight.

THAT IS NOT VARGAS CONCERN! Vargas accepted what Eddie offered. Kell and his manager are responsible for what Brook makes, not Vargas. This is a ****** argument on your part and you know you're wrong.

No a ****** argument is blaming Brook for the fight not getting made. Vargas overpriced himself, which delayed the fight getting made and a better oppurtunity for Brook appeared. That's all there is to it.

It is a ****** argument because Vargas had no idea how much Kell was making. Kell has a manager to negotiate his pay with Hearn. Just like Vargas has a manager and promoter to negotiate his pay. Vargas didn't know what Kell was making. Hearn offered Vargas the money and he accepted. His job isn't to negotiate for Kell.
