So paul williams is ducking sergio martinez?

I won't call him a ducker but I will give you the facts as I know them: There is a $3 million offer on the table from HBO for the fight. Martinez is willing to go 50-50 for the fight on Oct. 2. That is obviously a fair deal. Yes, Paul beat him the first time but it was a bit of a controversial decision and since then Martinez won the middleweight championship. Neither guy is a proven much bigger draw than the other guy. So 50-50 is fair. The Williams side is still looking for a welterweight fight that doesn't exisit and, I am told, that they asked for 60-40 against Martinez, which obviously isn't likely to happen. If the Martinez side caved in and gave him 60-40 shame on them.
