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

ИATAS

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.

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.

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

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.
