To Auction the fight between Quintana /Williams.....
To auction , though the Champ of WBO WW , Carlos "El Indio" Quintana , is asking over $400,000 for defend his World Title with P.Williams , if he and his Promoter Don Goossen doesnt get an agreement , the fight is guide to an auction for determine the Purse for Quintana....:-\
The WBO declared yesterday to P.Williams mandatory challenger of WW Champ Quintana to ordain an auction for determine What Promoter will going organize the fight and the Date , commented yesterday the President of WBO Francisco Valcarcel........
Valcarcel explained; " The fight has to be as minimum 45 days after the Auction , also Williams will be place to #1 , because the firsts classified is that is available ".......
" Naturally this situation Don Goossen doesn't like it "
Goossen commented; " Quintana earned $160,000 in the first fight and for the rematch have $400,000 over the table , but he want more money and is Normal , but we have an agreement with TV and have more money , if we going to an Auction , will going have less money and no guaranties for get a Date in TV , because even HBO and Showtime going programming a Big Fight during the Olympics Game...........
"Also the only opportunity to save that Date is that Quintana change his opinion , but the " Time is Running " in which his negative to not accept the Purse that offered him for fight with Williams in Jun/7/08.......
While Quintanas Lawyer , Gary Penagaricano accepted that the Pay that Quintana want is Really Far on what Goossen offered......
And recognized that in an Auction doesn't have any guaranties , we didn't close any doors is just Quintana decision , but what i see Quintana doesn't going accept this offer........:-\

Sucks to hear that...
The fucken networks, promoters and the WBO are pining Carlos against the wall. That's fucked up.... :mad:
They're putting him in a situation he doesn't have to be. This smells really bad, like a set up to try and redeem the loss and have Williams possibly face the winner of Tony-Cotto.
Now Carlos has to decide whether he wants to go with the fight OR fuck it! drop the fucken belt. He should know the people/fans understand why he wont take the fight. They wanna cheat his ass out of money that he deserves and that's fucked up. Carlos is in quite a predicament here.... He needs to think this through.
Re: To Auction the fight between Quintana /Williams.....
This is unbelievable!! I can see promoters trying to earn all money without throwing a punch and... I wonder how much was Williams offered to fight his "Punisher".
This story really bothers me :mad: I am just hoping that El Indio takes what he deserves...
Re: To Auction the fight between Quintana /Williams.....
Well have some rep for keeping us up to date on this Macho, don't think this has been covered anywhere else. Very interesting, Dan Goosen has always struck me as a fair man, I've been able to talk to him fairly and as a former trainer he has always been for fighters getting a fairer cut and trainers too. Trainers cuts pale in relation to the manager's keep. So in that respect I wouldn't expect him to seemingly jerk a fighter around like this but he's in a suit now where his job isn't to look after the fighter but his pockets so I guess this is possible. Hope Quintana gets what he wants without forcing this off TV.
This fight needs to be talked about more imo, the first fight wasn't a blowout and had very good action.
A while back I tipped Quintana over Cotto because of Cotto's lack of polish and because Quintana can box beautifully. Cotto stepped his game up and improve mightily and that is a testament to Quintana. He's very good and will be around for a while. I think he might be the best of that second tier, everyone not named Cotto or Mayweather.
