[Bill Paxtom]

October 24, 1975

Both fighters signed for this 10-Round Featherweight bout, and to take place on
November 22, 1975 at The Forum.

But 4-days later {October 28th}, Arturo 'Cuyo' Hernandez {Manager for Ruben Olivares}
asked for a 10-Day extension, as Ruben said he needed more time in Training to
get ready for this bout.

The bout was pushed back to Thursday ~ December 4, 1975

Howie Steindler {Manager for Danny Lopez} agreed.

Promoter; Don Fraser inked the fighters for Fight Purse guarantee's of;
* Ruben Olivares .... $40,000 {or 45% of the Gate Receipts}
* Danny Lopez ....... $25,000 {or 25% of the Gate Receipts}

But, there was 'one' change in the fight contract, the 10-Round bout was to include an
'Overtime Round' as requested by Manager - Howie Steindler.

In the event that the bout was 'even' on the Scorecards after 10-Rounds, and additional
Round was to be added.

So this bout was billed as a 'special' 11-Rounder.
