    No one will go for it.
    Does that WBA have any rules regarding an invalid purse bid?
    I figure they will take the next best offer. It´s still money in the WBA´s pockets.

    According to the WBA's official rules, a heavyweight title fight will always have a minimum bid of a million dollars.

    If nobody shows up to the second purse bid with a bid over $1,000,000, the WBA will have to take action - and both fighters could lose their spots.

    WBA RULES 6. Failed Bid. If no qualified bid is received in response to the first purse bid request, or if the winning promoter or a boxer identified in the purse bid award fails to comply with these Rules, the Committee may request a second purse bid. In the case of a title defense, if no qualified bid is received in response to a second purse bid, the Chairman may vacate the title and the position of mandatory contender.

    17. Multiple Failed Bids. In the case of a vacant title, if there are two failed purse bids, the affected boxers may lose the privilege that their position in the rankings gave them to compete for the title. The Chairman may summon immediately a third Purse Bid for the two boxers who were to participate in the deserted Purse Bids and also two other rated boxers, named by the Committee. Bids may be made for a title fight between any two of the four boxers, and the boxers named in the highest responsive bid shall fight for the title.
