    BHop and Roy for taking so long to rematch.

    James Kirkland for going crazy and missed the Canelo payday.

      mosley turned down a de la hoya rematch after the 1st fight thinking he deserved the bigger split because he won that fight.he went on to fight vernon forrest next.ouch

      judah cost himself about 5 million by losing to baldomir before the floyd fight

      arum turned down 10 mil for a floyd/cotto and floyd hatton fight at 140

      ray leonard refused to fight hags again for a rumored 10 mil i think.

      hopkins refused a 60/40 split to fight roy again after he beat trinidad.likely a 5 mil loss

        winky turned down a taylor rematch because he refused to get paid less than jermain feeling he won the first fight.

        berto lost out on a big payday against floyd, TWICE. losing to guerrero and soto karass respectively.

        tarver missed out on what would have been among the biggest paydays in boxing history when RJJ was knocked out by glen johnson. obviously the rubber match between tarver and roy went down regardless but it wasnt nearly as big as it would have been, im sure they both lost millions.

          I believe Aaron Pryor failed to meet Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran, and Ray Mancini all at one point or another.

            tarver would not have gotten 1 of the biggest paudays in boxing history for a 3rd fight regardless of if jones beat johnson lol

              floyd missed alot vs manny, oscar rematch,, and o7-08 the shane and cotto fights would have been much bigger,, and a margs fight would have been highly lucrative,,,

              pauli- when hatton cameback to fight him, but got hijacked by senchenko which led to the classic broner-pauli fight instead of hatton-pauli

              lennox lewis-- Rid**** bowe ducked him,, vitali rematch

              Oscar- missed the rematches with tito, vargas, floyd,,, all very lucrative fights

              tito trinidad- missed the roy jones mega fight set for 2002, when hopkins upset tito in the tourney finals

              fernado vargas- missed the oscar rematch because he got caught roiding, and oscar was like F' this douche

              Winky wright-- turned down an oscar fight in 03 and oscar fought yory boy instead,, also turned down the jermain taylor rematch because of not wanting to fight in memphis

              Roy jones- missed alot of lucrative fights,, benn, eubanks, collins. G-man, nunn, liles, michlewski, lennox, tyson, evander, toney rematch in 03-04, hopkins rematch in 02,

              prince naseem- missed huge payday with floyd in 01 but saw floyd destroy corrales and said no thanks

              JMM/morales-- could have fought each other anytime over the past 15 years and would have been nice paydays,,

              Manny-- no floyd fight

              Those are just the first ones that popped into my head

                Wright turned down a Delahoya fight in 2005. mayweather/delahoya rematch when Mayweather priced himself out too
