    Default Vargas is broke...this can't lead to anything good

    read this clip on yahoo/ring.com

    " Worst news of the week: Fernando Vargas is broke, or close to it, and his former business manager is in jail for allegedly embezzling hundreds of thousands of dollars from him. My wish for said business manager: a long prison stay with Ike Ibeabuchi and Tony Ayala as his cell mates."

    if true i'm kinda fearing for the worse

    Hmmm....Not sure exactly the whole truth to this but I hope for sure it is not...Vargas seemed to have plenty of smart business ventures and seemed to be a fairly smart business man.....

    He is not the first and won't be the last if this is true

    that much is true, but if it happened as stated, meaning he didn't blow his money, somebody else did, then that's fucked up

    I guess the Alpha Dog check was spent long ago.

    I guess it's time to call out Barrera.

    That would suck and yes Vargas was smart as far as business and investing but as the article reads it looks like someone else was doing the spending.

    I know he opened a gym, had a clothing line, part owned a club and also had opened a cell phone store...

    Maybe I mis worded what I was trying to say...More or less was saying I am surprised that Vargas allowed that to happen he seemed a bit more on top of things and a bit more of a watch dog then that on his own affairs.....I mean it happens to so many guys not just boxers but Football players, basketball etc....Shit Tua was out 2 years because he was getting robbed and his contract was that if he fought the guys robbing him were entitled to a portion of his purse.....I swear there is a a group of schiesters that just wait to pray on these guys....Sad part is 90% of the time it is only a financial penalty they end up with and no jail time for ripping these fellows off

    One of my favourite fighters, it is safe to say he will never return to the ring or his own fighting weight again.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Vargas is a boxing hero of mine and it's shit that this can happen to anyone courtesy of a selfish robbing p*ick. Fighters put their lives on the line and to see their rewards (nice family home) taken away from them is bang out of order. I don't want to see Vargas back in the ring he had lost the hunger long before his last bout and was looking a shell of his old self IMO. Shame, hope he manages to get this sorted without resorting to fighting again.
