Jacksonville, FL: The anticipated lightweight matchup between IBF/ WBO / WBA Champion Nate Campbell vs. WBO Interim Champion Joel Casamayor appears to be headed for a purse bid, according to Campbell's co-promoter Terry J. Trekas of One Punch Productions. "I spoke to Don King about an hour ago, and Don will be requesting that the WBO order this fight to go to purse bid, since the "negotiations" went nowhere. Whether or not that results in Joel actually signing the bout agreement, well, we will have to see what happens with that. My guess is he won't, but this is the process we have to go through" said Trekas. One potential problem appears to already have been resolved. Different sources have indicated that Team Campbell was expecting an 80-20 split in their favor, as the split was when the proposed Diaz-Katsidis matchup went to purse bid. Other sources indicate it would be a 50-50 split. [details]
