BEN Barba's off-field issues have cost him at least $20,000 with the former Dally M winner knocking back an approach to pull on the gloves in the Fight For Life boxing event later this year.
Organisers of the popular fight night, which sees rugby league’s best pugilists take on rugby union stars from New Zealand, were confident of signing Barba onto an all-star card that will include Manly hit man Steve Matai, Test forward Sam Thaiday, Cronulla duo Todd Carney and Paul Gallen and New Zealand Warriors forward Russell Packer.
But in light of his controversial departure from the Bulldogs and allegations of domestic violence, Barba's management declined the offer last Thursday.
It's undoubtedly a smart move given the damaging headlines the Brisbane Broncos recruit has attracted this year.
Maybe it's because they couldn't find a suitable opponent ? Give Ainslie a call.
