Arum sends Sulaiman letter over WBC contemplating a 60-40 split for Rahman-Toney!
By G. Leon
November 30, 2005 - Attn: Mauricio Sulaiman, This morning I talked by telephone to WBC President Jose Sulaiman who informed me that he has asked the Board of Governors to vote on changing the purse bid split from the mandated 75% to the champion/25% to challenger, to a different split. He suggested to me that the Board of Governors might approve a 60-40 split. When I asked Mr. Sulaiman on what basis a split other than 75-25 would be ordered, he said that he received a letter from James Toney's promoter Dan Goossen allegeding that Toney's purses from recent fight have been in excess of the purses which Rahman has received.
