Angel Garcia says he wants a Mayweather fight but he turned down an offer.
Danny would have made more in a Mayweather fight than he would of in his last 4 fights. But Mayweather would likely beat him and his post-Mayweather fights would be for chump change because his 0 is all that is holding him.
Exiting fighters tend to fight anyone because even with a loss they are still exiting thus they still sell.
Cotto and Pacquiao have fought monsters across promotional borders because of this. They can loose but they're still exiting.
Same reason Mayweather turned down the Pacquiao fight with his unprecedented requirements.
There may be strings attached as onerous promotional contract extensions, unfavorable rematch clauses and onerous or unfavorable or disadvantageous fight terms and conditions.
Last I heard it was Pacquiao who turned down a biggest ever purse offer of $ 40 M from Floyd.
Long term planning.
Suppose I hold a title and can earn $500k a fight for 10 fights as long as I keep winning against average guys.
Then you offer me $1m to fight a big name who might beat me.
If I lose that fight and my title and my reputation, I could then end up on $100k per fight for 9 fights.
So I get $1.9m for 10 fights instead of $5m for fights when people regarded me as p4p class, champ, unbeaten, etc.
This depends on their plans, it does not make sense to take a dangerous fight that may cost you more money in a bigger fight later on.
they may also turn down a fight because their styles do not match up with the other fighter.
Good fighters look at the big picture not just the next payday.
Plans
Ask Floyd.
I read the 4 yrs ago el perro angulo turn down 750k for martinez and the highest purse he had to then was 350k and I have read of boxers turning down this type of pay days without a reason and I want to know wat would make boxer not taks this fights I would take them in a heart beat for this kind of money
