In a shocking turn of events, a boxer turns down a huge payday and gives up his title. What? Yeah that just happened as Peter Quillin has vacated his WBO title and turned down a reported $1.4 million dollar purse.

The stage had been set for a November 1st showdown with Matt Korobov in Brooklyn. Quillin was on the fence and had until today to make a decision. He took to Instagram to make his announcement. 

What the hell! I am sure there is a whole back story that includes bobbing, weaving and some good ol’ boxng politics but this is so strange to me.

Where is Jerry Maguire at when you need some inspiration like, “Show me the money!”?
