Biggest Bag Fumbles in Boxing

Jarret Hurd not enforcing his rematch clause with J-rock, then totally falling out of title contention.

Wilder turning down the DAZN offer is unquestionably the largest. Can't believe there's an actual debate about this issue in the thread - the facts are all out there. Al Haymon had completed the massive Fox deal in fall 2018. Fox's understanding was that they were in the "premier position" in regard to what PBC fighters and fights they'd be getting. That meeting with Haymon, Wilder, Dibella and John Skipper from DAZN was in March 2019 - Haymon's heavyweight champion going to DAZN mere months after PBC signed with Fox would have been bad for PBC. The exact details of the FOX-PBC deal aren't public, but I'm sure it could have potentially blown the whole thing up. So they talked Wilder into turning down the offer, "betting on himself", and then they fired Lou Dibella for bringing the offer to Wilder. And THAT is why it'll illegal to have your manager also be your promoter. The deal was good for Wilder but bad for Haymon - Wilder should have been advised to take the deal. Instead, he got talked into turning it down and got KTFO by Tyson Fury for a fraction of the money. These are all facts.

Marquez turned down a pacquiao fight AND a morales fight THEN fought chris john and lost. This really disappointed me because this would've completed the set of and made them the new Four Kings had morales and marquez fought. That would've been a total of 14 fights against one another, exceeding the 9 fights of the original Four Kings. Marquez actually turned that down and I’ve heard it uttered from actual insiders in the sport. Marquez didn’t feel comfortable fighting Morales. Morales always surprised people. He was supposed to be cannon fodder for Maidana and ended up giving him a grueling fight.

This thread feels like an elementary grade class. ”Yeah? Well, I heard that he turned down $100 million.” ”No way! For reals?!” ”Yeah! Supposedly! Jared’s cousin’s second stepdad said so…so it must be true!” Ya’ll trippin. So both Wilder AND Marquez turned down $100 million for their respective fights? $100 mil? Talk about hyperbole. Wilder…maaaaaaaaaybe but Marquez-Pacquiao V was never worth $100 million to one fighter. Not in a million years. Top Rank would not never make back their money with that. A fifth fight at best would do 1.3-1.5M buys at best. And that would just be Marquez…ain’t no way in hell they would be anywhere near breaking even with Pacquiao’s guarantee not too far behind. Just………no. I don’t think Marquez could’ve been been bought regardless. If I went life and death three times, didn’t get the decision and finally took it out of the judges’ hand, I’m pulling my chips and cashing out. Let Mexico’s last memory of me be the one oft overhand right icing Pacquiao.

What are examples of the biggest bag fumbles in boxing? Mine goes for Tommy Morrison turning down $7mill to fight Lewis, electing for a tune up against Bennt, only to get KTFO. Runner up is Joshua turning down a "supposed" $50 million in 2018, only to get KTFO by the fat chorizo blooded doughboy Ruiz. Wilder turned down 100 million counter only to go life and death with the 50yo cuban abuelo

Marquez turned down a rematch with Pacquiao then fought Chris John in Indonesia and lost. Marquez turned down a pacquiao fight AND a morales fight THEN fought chris john and lost. This really disappointed me because this would've completed the set of and made them the new Four Kings had morales and marquez fought. That would've been a total of 14 fights against one another, exceeding the 9 fights of the original Four Kings.

tank davis turning down turki money by demanding 2 ferraris just to talk

Oscar's failed cherry pick of Felix Sturm before the Hopkins fight should be on here. Disgraceful robbery.

Wilder was contractually obligated to fight on Showtime. Besides, DAZN was completely unknown in 2018 No he was not. Any evidence of that? Oh yeah you simply made it up. Plenty of pbc guys fought away from showtime. Those that didn't pretended like they couldn't. Just like wilders 50 million offer was fake.there was no contract. He refused to send one because it was a bluff for pr purposes.There was actually a 100 million contract for wilder which wilder admitted was real. Wilder turned it down. Doesn't matter if no one knew what dazn was, it was 100 million which is more than the 50 which wasnt real anyway. Wilder never wanted the fight. Little bonus duck was when wilder turned down 12 million when his career high had been 2 million. You probably have excuses for that too. offered 6 times his career high...lowball right? Never blame wilder for turning the fight down doe, always blame Joshua for not accepting fake offers lol

Charlo Canelo. Canelo is everyones biggest payday. That fight was basically done and he had to get twin bro to step in

AJ Wilder. Fury AJ. They can still get a big payday from these fights. But few years ago they could have got a huge bag

against who? Roc Nation signing.

Victor Ortiz vs Canelo. Ortiz had a tuneup against Josesito Lopez but got his jaw broke and lost out on the money fight. Joe Joyce was on the cusp of earning a title shot against Usyk or Fury but lost back to back fights to Zhang. His career is pretty much over now, meanwhile his top two victims Dubois and Parker have revived their careers. Shane Mosley had a chance to fight Felix Trinidad in a big time matchup but opted to fight Winky Wright first. Lost to him twice and then Winky beat Trinidad next

Marquez turned down a rematch with Pacquiao then fought Chris John in Indonesia and lost.

Wilder was contractually obligated to fight on Showtime. Besides, DAZN was completely unknown in 2018 What nonsense. He thought Fury was an easy touch. Got greedy and lost. https://twitter.com/BronzeBomber/sta...16635866243072

Turki giving Canelo $80mil for the Scull performance. Surely the Saudi’s don’t care in splurging such purses, but in the “real” (lol) world that amount for that performance is nauseous. Canelo must have been stupid happy

marquez turning down 100 million for a fifth pacquiao fight (some say it was 200 million?)

Wilder was contractually obligated to fight on Showtime. Besides, DAZN was completely unknown in 2018 Lol...
