    Biggest Bag Fumbles in Boxing

    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.

    Anthony Joshua has to take the cake.

    Brian Norman Jr turned down a $1.7 million offer from Boots Ennis to fight for $150k instead.

                Oh yeah I remember that. Big What if (even though Williams was on the downslope), Williams actually lived 45 minutes from my hometown back then

                    Wilder turning down 100 million from DAZN to fight AJ to go and fight Ortiz for 1.5 mil and Fury for 4 mil

                    So wilder literally lost 94.5 million dollars.

                    AJ made over 60 mil for Ruiz 2 so he actually earned more than he was offered for the wilder fight
