Nate Campbell vs. Joel Casamayor For August 27? King Wins Bid.

[ZINZANG]

As Far As Nate Is Concerned The Contract Is Signed And Ready To Go The Ball Is Definately In Casamayor's Court Right Now. If It Does Not Happen It Is Becasue Casamayor Does Not Want The Fight To Take Place Not Nate.

[MANGLER]

Nate seems like a man on a mission right now. He wants to end his career wit a big run on top and I don't think Casa can stop him.

I thought Casamayor was fighting Juan Diaz in Sept. What happened with that?

[Pullcounter]

Earlier today at the WBO headquarters in San Juan, Puerto Rico, the purse bids were submitted for the lightweight bout between champion Nate Campbell and mandatory contender Joel Casamayor. [details]

Casamayor is looking to cash out... hopefully King will offer Casamayor more money to fight Campbell than to fight Juan Diaz.

Don King wins Bid on Casamayor-Campbell

If i am not mistaken Casamayor will turn this fight down because he said he couldnt fight for less than a million. Now i am not a math guy but if you split that 50/50 Both fighters will get around 610,000. So it will be interesting if Casamayor accepts, or keeps his scheduled fight with Juan Diaz or go elsewhere. Thoughts?

wank warren is offering haye $1,200,000 to fight matt skelton ffs!

[v.cassiusali@ya]

its up to both nate and casa to take the offer, or stay idle for months.

gbp was quick to offer pacman a cool 6M to fight marquez again.

but only .5M for nate and casa?

what does gbp and don king think of campbell and casamayor... CHEAP? just asking!

I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think Casamayor or GBP want any part of this fight. Juan Diaz looks a lot more likely to me.

casamayor aint taking this fight mark my words

[Shalafi]

I don't like either guy, but I will be rooting for Campbell just because I really hate Casamayor.
