    Which fighter has missed a big pay day?

    Thinking about how Tyson Fury has seen his £5 million pissed up the wall, it got me thinking. What fighters have lost the biggest paydays?

    Obviously there's mayweather/pacquiao, but what are other big ones?

    The first that comes to the top of my head is Mallignaggi missing out on a Hatton payday after Ricky was flattened by Senchenko. In fact that was probably two paydays because he mentioned doing a trilogy fight in England too lol.

    Morrison got Lewis later, but it wasn't as big as it was gonna be
    when he got smoked by Bentt, he lost some dough for a Lewis fight
    Douglas ruined Tyson-Holyfield in 90, that "**** victim" ruined it in 91
    Rahman wanted to cash in vs Tyson, but Lewis forced the rematch
    Pryor missed out on Mancini when Bramble beat Mancini
    Viloria was gonna fight Kameda but blew the 1st Nino Romero fight

        I was only a kid in the Lewis era, sounds a bummer still. Forgot about the punisher I guess his bike got in the way of that one.

            I can only imagine what would have been if Gamboa would have stayed with TR, fought and beat Rios. HMMM who knows where his career would be and how much money he would have made.




            But now Gamboa's career "peeleft:

                Gamboa and JuanMa because of Arum
                All the guys that were supposed to fight Canelo but whenever he was watching they lost.
