Holly Holm had her reasons for walking away from a successful boxing career after 11 years, several world titles, and nearly 40 professional fights. Money wasn’t one of them. “She’s turned down a lot of money,” Holm’s longtime coach, Mike Winkeljohn, told MMAjunkie.com (mmajunkie.com). “I’ll throw a figure out there: She turned down a quarter-million dollars, because she had decided, hey, I want to do MMA.” The question is, why? Why would such a decorated boxer leave the sport she knows best in order to devote herself to one she’d previously only dabbled in
