Comments Thread For: Vargas: Golden Boy Didn't Offer Enough Money to Fight Cotto
Jessie Vargas took to social media Wednesday to explain why he turned down a chance to fight Miguel Cotto. Vargas, a former WBO welterweight champion, revealed in statements posted to his Twitter and Instagram pages that Golden Boy Promotions didn't offer him enough money to challenge Cotto. Vargas joined WBC lightweight champion Mikey Garcia and IBF welterweight champ Errol Spence Jr. by publicly acknowledging that he turned down the Cotto fight due to Golden Boy Promotions' offer.

Vargas is as close to irrelevant in boxing right now as they come. If he had the opportunity to fight cotto, he should've taken it. I don't care of they offered him a G flat. A win would put him in a good spot for the future. Chances are cotto would knock him out though.

Nice pr tactic by Golden Boy doe! Make sh1tty 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

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

Not enough money? Vargas needs to get real. Hundreds of thousands to fight ".... no, no I decline". "I'd rather sit at home and make .... zero!".
Really? I miss the old days. Fighters (who know they aren't at the top of the sport) would've cashed that check, and tried to whoop some a$$. |
