Which fighter has missed a big pay day?

[LacedUp]

Pacquiao - Mayweather. Both guys missed out on paydays of biblical proportions.

Idiots.

Edit: Didn't really see you mentioned it already - guess that's what I get for skimming.

[Jack Napier]

Winky rejected a fight with Oscar

damn, are you sure?
knew Winky passed up on Mosley when he was first offered it
but Oscar? thought he dodged Winky to take the Campas fight

[LacedUp]

Lewis missed out on a big payday vs Bowe when bowe chickened out. Lewis also missed out on a Tyson payday in '96, when Tyson chickened out.

But then again, thanks to the goodwill of Don King charities, he got 2 mega paydays vs Holyfield.

[KO'er]

Ingemar Johansson missed a big payday against Sonny Liston when Floyd Patterson took the title off him.

[ShamrockXpress]

Ward missed a big payday by telling Bute to fight froch first.
Khan could have already earned $ by fighting mayweather but messed it by fading/fighting a steroid user/being robbed against Peterson and being iced by Garcia.
JMM by turning down an immediate rematch with pacqiaou to fight John in Indonesia.

[soul_survivor]

Foreman missed out on some hefty paydays by retiring so early, imagine how big Foreman v Holmes could have been in in the late 70s of early 80s. Then again he got some recuperation against Holyfield, so it' not all bad.
