Is Kownacki the biggest idîot of all time? Refused 5million+ from AJ made 150k vs Rob

[JimmyValmer]

He's gotta be right ? The purse vs AJ would be 30-40 times more than what he made VS Helenius which is 150k. This fat aśś lost a career high payday by inflating his ego and turning down Joshua. Now he's exposed and humiliated by Robert Heleneius. He's never gonna receive an offer of a million dollars again. Like Jacobs said "YOU AIN'T TOUCHING MILLIONS"

[JakeTheBoxer]

Pretty much correct. He will never get close to that kind of offer again. He ruined his career because of his ego. He thought he is agonna fight Wilder and beat him.

[nubianpiye]

Wilder did the same thing this type of thing happens in boxing unfortunately many fighters are deluded idiots

[tritium_arma]

It's a respectable choice. They basically bet on themselves and lost. If Kownacki had won he would be looking at even bigger money. Same as if Wilder would've won both Fury fights, the fight with AJ would've been massive. He took a gamble and lost.

Wilder is a millionaire, he is doing just fine.

Kownacki will never reach that kind of success.

Thanks for that info

Doesn’t change the point he lost a lot of money by sticking with Haymon

Floyd was always the smartest business man, you saw him get the best deal with hbo and then got showtime to do even better. He made Haymon come along with him
That’s what wilder should have done when he was red hot, used dazn to negotiate and get even more than 100m

[YGriffith]

He was betting on himself.

Not a word less, not a word more. And do not forget that Kownacki's wife was pregnant that time and it could also have some impact on his decision.

Turning down a career high offer to fight for 3 world title belts in your own backyard because Al Haymon said so is not "betting on yourself"

It's allowing yourself to be manipulated for another man's gain.

If Wilder and Kownacki truly wanted to bet on themselves they would have accepted Hearn's offer, rolled the dice, and fought AJ.
