Roc Nation Sports Rejected By Three More Boxing Champs

EXCLUSIVE
Jay Z's Roc Nation Sports is trying to change the game of professional boxing ... courting three of the biggest stars in the sweet science to join RNS' exploding roster, TMZ Sports has learned.
Of course, Jay recently inked boxing superstar Andre Ward and made a serious push to sign former world champ Adrien Broner ... but AB rejected the 5-year $40 million offer.
Now, we've spoken with three other major fighters who have also been contacted by Roc Nation ... more evidence that Jay is dead serious about making a splash in the boxing world.
The fighters -- who wished not to be named -- tell us that just like Broner's courting, Jay Z never personally reached out ... sending his people to make contact instead and we're told it rubbed the fighters the wrong way.
All three fighters we spoke with tell us they ultimately turned down the Roc Nation offers ... but aren't closing the door on a possible relationship with RNS in the future.
Meantime, Roc Nation Sports is still growing like crazy ... and recently signed Georgia running back Todd Gurley who's expected to be one of the first running backs selected in the NFL Draft.
We reached out to Roc Nation Sports for comment -- so far, no word back.

Last night, TMZ Sports reported that "three major names" rejected promotional contract offers to sign with Roc Nation Sports.
TMZ spoke to all three fighters, who would not confirm the information on the record and their names were not revealed.
According to industry sources, Danny Garcia, Robert Guerrero and Shawn Porter are the three fighters in question - but none of them have confirmed.
Garcia and Porter were unavailable for comment.
BoxingScene.com was able to reach Guerrero, who would not confirm or deny that he was approached. Guerrero was willing to put a single comment on the record in response to our inquiries, and he may have confirmed the information without giving an actual confirmation. Guerrero told BoxingScene - "Loyalty is more important than money."
Last week, Adrien Broner claimed to have turned down a five year offer, $40 million dollar offer from Roc Nation. Last year, Deontay Wilder and Keith Thurman turned down Roc Nation offers. Also, Peter Quillin refused to take part in a middleweight title defense against Matt Korobov, after Roc Nation won the purse bid.
What do all of these fighters have in common? They are represented by the person most consider to be the 'most powerful man in boxing' - manager/adviser Al Haymon of Haymon Boxing.

So, Adrien Broner WASNT lying about his offer he received....the Camel and his Camelettes just lied about the offer to him in order to try and save face
Loyalty is more important than money Camel, and stop sending your workers to talk to Bosses
Robert Guerrero is getting 2.5 million to fight Keith Thurman on NBC...you gonna need to start playing "monopoly with real cash" in order to woo any of the #HaymonHustlas away from Haymon
