Campbell-Casamayor Heads To a Purse Bid

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

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]

LOL, 80/20 split favoring Campbell? 60/40 for Casamoyar sounds about right to me.

Good fight, this is the 1st in the Lightweight tournament. Casamayor by UD, Khan wins it all tho.

I agree the split is a bit wide, 60/40 for Campbell sounds better considering that Campbell is the champion.

He should be paid better he beat both Corrales and Castillo, hes definetly underrated, and will come close to winning the tournament.

Casamayor could have gotten a better split of the purse if GBP/DK could have come to an agreement. Purse bids always favor the man with the belt.

should be 50/50 and winner gets an additional purse.

Casamayors been screwed his whole career he dominated Castillo, and gave two of my personal favorite fights with Deigo Corrales
