Robin Reid V Joe Calzaghe

[Fenster]

Reid was offered the rematch but turned it down over money (what else).

He wanted £150,000, they offered £90,000. And that was that.

Think of how many sunbed sessions that would have been.

Robin Reid wasn't the greatest fighter of all time but he deserved more than £90,000

You can't say that without knowing what he/they were worth. Remember Calzaghe wasn't a "star" on mega money back then either.

For certain though I bet Reid wasn't making anywhere near 90k for defending his WBF title in sports centres and on Audley Harrisons undercards - which he did after Calzaghe.
