Here is the story (in Spanish): linky
Trinidad (father and son) and Don King anounced to the Puerto Rican newspaper El Nuevo Dia that Winky is out because, after asking for 4 million dollars and King accepting to pay that amount, he now doesn't want to fight and failed to give a reason why. The Trinidads even agreed to lower their purse to $9 Million in order to make the fight but Winky still chose not to accept.
There are several others who are being considered including champs at 168 (Calzaghe and Lacy), Sturm, Massoe, Quartey (who already has a fight scheduled), and others whom King doesn't want to mention so that other promoters/lawyers don't price their fighters out of a fight before even begining negotiations.
I hope they find someone soon. King has April 9th separated with HBO for Tito's return and the fight might take place in Puerto Rico.
