Winky's Shuns $3M Offer To Fight Trinidad!

[kborges]

Wright Opens The Door For Trinidad Vs. Quartey or Taylor!
December 14, 2004 - Undisputed junior middleweight king, Ronald "Winky" Wright told **********.com it's going to take more than the $3M Don King Productions is currently offering for him to fight Felix Trinidad on March 12. Although Wright is still a promotional free agent, his legal team has given promoter Gary Shaw temporary authorization to negotiate this fight with DKP. Shaw told **********.com, "The Trinidad's are very honorable people, so I'm wondering if this is King making the offer because I don't think the Trinidad's would be that disrespectful for a $10M Trinidad, $3M Winky. This is the the undisputed junior middleweight champion we're talking about." If Team Wright opts against fighting Trinidad for $3M, this opens the door for Jermain Taylor and Ike Quartey, the other two names Don King has mentioned publicly to land the fight with Trinidad. Promoter Lou DiBella, who promotes BOTH Taylor and Quartey assured **********.com that neither of his fighter's would pass up such an offer from DKP

Easy for you to say. These guys are in a very tough business. Didnt Tito turn down the Oscar fight because of money. Winky is the Champ and he is the one who's moving up. I understand that Tito is more popular but stop disrespecting fighters and start kicking out more loot. Winky deserves more then that. Thats why X wont fight Tito because him and King are always trying to pull that I've got all the power ****. Beating a overgrown welterweight in Mayorga doesnt mean ****. He needs to beat a big name to prove that he is really back after getting KO, and Quartey is not going to cut it. What does he think that this is 5 years ago or something, and you know Taylor will want a hell of alot more money then that

[.::|ULTIMATE|::.]

Winky can stay at 154 then i dont wanna hear him ***** about how much he dont get recognized and how he's willing to fight anyone.

3 million... he should be jumping on the offer, this offer wont be made available to him again. Lets face it not many people know who Winky Wright is, but everyone knows who Tito is.

[Truth]

Winky is always saying he wants big fights, they offered him 3 million and a fight with Tito and it still wasn't good enough.

I can't believe Winky

But see dont you get it. That's what the problem is. People in the position of Tito are saying the same thing that your saying. They figure they can make all the money and give others scraps. It's not fair. If Winky says yes just because it's the most he ever made then it would be bad for boxing. Then people like Tito would try to give people 2 mill. , then 1 mill and it would get lower and lower. Winky is a man first and just because you offer him more then he's ever made doesnt mean that he should take it when Tito is getting more then triple the amount. He can fight a decent guy and get 2 million, now Tito only wants to give him 3. Are you crazy dude. Why would he take that. Are you trying to tell me that Tito couldnt give him atleast 5 mil. Would that reall kill him. He wont even give him 4. Stop being greedy

If he takes the Tito fight and wins then he can make more money in the future. Tito Trinidad is the draw

The thing is if Wright doesn't take Trinidad for $3mill? Who does he fight for even a $1mill? When? What weight class? I dont see Hopkins or DLH going for that fight...maybe, but not. Winky is a good guy and he proves it wenever Lacy fights...he kept telling lacy "this is ur life!"...too bad bojado didn't take it that seriously as Lacy.

Tito is the draw and deserves more but not more then 3 times more. What if he loses to Tito, and if he did when that doesnt guarntee anything. Look at X. Everyone thought he was going to do this ant that and what did he do, nothing. It took him nearly 4 years to get another big fight, and Oscar says that he's moving down now.
