Chaves fight didn't happen because Kell got injured. They tried to redo the fight but the IBF had already set a date for his next mandatory so there wouldn't have been enough time in between fights for that to work. Had he have fought Chaves, there would have been less than 3 months before he was due back in the ring. Nothing they could do.
Brook was looking for a big fight/unification because he was sick and tired of fighting just mandatories. No one would fight other than Vargas, so they went in that direction. They made a big offer but it was denied by Vargas. He asked for more money even though his own team said it was a very generous offer.
Brook and Hearn were bent over a barrel because they wanted a big fight but had no where to go. The fans were calling for him to fight the best so they were in a bit of a pickle. In order to fight Vargas Brook would have had to take a big pay cut and would have made considerably less than Vargas even though he was the clear A side. However, GGG was meant to fight Eubank but pulled out so Hearn had him there for a date in the UK. Instead of paying that ***** Vargas over the odds and Hearn losing money on the event, he asked Kell if he wanted to fight GGG instead for a big pay day. Brook agreed and took the fight. The rest is history.
The offer to Vargas was over double his biggest pay day. For him to deny that offer and ask for more shows you that he really didn't want the fight unless he got a retirement cheque. Brook was most certainly not the one who ****ed that up. Blame Vargas for asking for too much money.
BS, that injury nonsense was to get out of the fight. Brook has a history of promoting himself with the next most popular boxer.

Why would he waste his time going after Chaves if it was all bull****? It's not like anybody was calling for the fight. So yeah, the only one spouting bull**** is you.
Every boxer who enters the ring is a warrior. Brook just isn't a warrior who gives me confidence in him when he goes against a really good fighter. He will always beat the mediocre boxers like the guy he is fighting next.
