      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

          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

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

            Disgraceful robbery.

                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.

                  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

                      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.
