Well.
People might start to think Perelman isn't in the game for its Rock Star-like benefits if he keeps on refusing to be recognized for his genius. Or not.
Whatever the case, I think it's good for the Fields Medal to have people refuse it on occasion.

He is the first to do so. A. Grothendieck did not attend the ceremony in 1966, but he accepted the award.
