Winky Wright turned down Oscar DeLahoya in 2005

[General Zod]

How much did Wright make in his next fight after rejecting DLH's offer?

If he made less than 6 million... he's a ducker according to people on here.

Using figures I came across on another forum:
Winky vs Mosley:750k
Winky vs Mosley II:1.6M
Winky vs Tito:4M
Winky vs Hopkins:2M

that was winky's biggest flaw of his career, over valueing his own worth.

****, him beating oscar, which he would of, would have been immensely great for his career.

Sometimes people don't see that. They see the money and not the big picture.

Winky made 750k vs Mosley (Mosey got 2.1million), 1.6Million for the rematch (Mosley got 2million) and 4million vs Tito (Trinidad got 10million). He didn't go close to ever making $6million. He later made 2million vs Hopkins (Hopkins made 3million)

Thanks.

He's a ducker for turning down 6 million to fight Mosley for 750K. How come people don't call him a ducker for tuning down 6 million to fight for 750K?

Only Floyd is a ducker for turning down 7-8 million to fight for 4 million, smh. I don't see people call him a ducker on here, but they always say Floyd ducked certain boxers.

bad move winki, you would have spank that ass.

Wow my respect for DLH just grew a little more. Winky pussied out from a DLH fight.

How can someone turn down that kind of money, especially if they are not a superstar?

[Pugilistic™]

Winky was a fool for not taking that.

He would of beat Oscar, which is always a good win for any fighter.

Winky lost out on so much money from 2005 on. I don't understand why these guys get so greedy. Then he fights BHop for like 1.5 mill. Weird.

Dude turned down 6M dollars, lol

What the article doesnt say is that 6 million was a low ball offer considering how much money Delahoya generated at that time. But in my opinion Wright should have taken it. He would have beaten Oscar.

That is true, but it is still 6 million.
