    Pretty much most fights.

    Boxing has ALWAYS been a business first and foremost.

    Sanders-Wlad.

    Sanders stepped off the golf course to get a quick payday not knowing the the guy he was fighting had a paper chin. He hits the guy, guy folds Corrie gets another payday against the guys brother. Too bad for Sanders the guys brother was a real fighter. 2 paydays for a retired golfer....cant beat that

    Larry Holmes vs. Mike Tyson. If I remember correctly, Larry even wanted the date to be later so he had more time to train but Don King told him "Nope! If you want this $$$ you fight Tyson when I say so!" Or something like that lol

    Holmes vs. Tyson. Holmes was long retired and Don King offered him $5 million to get his chubby butt back in the ring.

    Floyd just wanted the career payday to fight pac. He was forced to fight him due his promotional company losing money and he was guaranteed all the advantages. He did not fight him for legacy that is why the bout was a fluke because he did not really wanted to engage and just hugged a lot and then ran to the bank.
