    Sonny Bill Williams has cheekily rejected claims he's been greedy in holding out for a bigger payday for his boxing bout against Paul Gallen

    Sonny Bill Williams has cheekily rejected claims he's been greedy in holding out for a bigger payday for his boxing bout against Paul Gallen


    The former leaguies will go toe-to-toe next month, after finally coming to an agreement that has been 10 years in the making.

    Speaking to Newstalk ZB's Ryan Bridge on Herald Now, Williams has rejected he was waiting for a good financial deal before signing on.



    The fight - for which both boxers are expected to earn one million dollars - is on July 16 in Sydney.
