Champion vs Champion? Penalosa Camp offers Ponce De Leon

The management team of WBO world bantamweight champion Gerry Penalosa has offered WBO super bantamweight kingpin Daniel Ponce De Leon a generous amount of money for a rematch in the Philippines. This was revealed by Penalosa's co-manager Billy Keane when interviewed Monday in the daily morning Philippine radio sports show "Sports Chat." Keane said they just learned that Ponce De Leon earned nearly $300,000 for his latest defense against compatriot Eduardo Escobedo last week. Keane added that they are offering Ponce De Leon more than what he earned for the Escobedo fight. Keane however revealed Ponce De Leon was asking for $850,000 for him to agree to a rematch in the Philippines.

Well Penalosa should have gotten the decision in the first fight but I don't see much of a chance it happens in the Phillipines.

I really don't see the neccesaty for De Leon to rematch Penalosa. I mean Penalosas become a champ at Bantam he should strive to settle himself there and possibly wait for Rafa or Israel also Castillos there.

Anyway I don't see it happening....

Looks like Penalosa camp is trying to set De Leon up for a robbery. De Leon should get as much as he can.
