    Worst business decisions in boxing

    Name some of the worst business decisions you've seen in boxing. I'll start :

    -Marquez turning down a $750,000 offer for a Pacquiao rematch to end up fighting Chris John in Indonesia for $30,000.

    -Pavlik turning down $1.35 million to fight Bute because Kessler was offered more, then fought in an untelevised card.

    -Winky turning down a title shot against Abraham, sitting on the shelf for 2 years before fighting Williams for no title in front of a small crowd.
