The 'original' Main Event was to be >

Former Light-Heavyweight Champion - Bob Foster vs. Rafael 'Raffles' Gutierrez

But the 'always irritable' and comebacking {Age; 38 years, 7 months} Bob Foster
held out for more money {after signing a contract}, and walked out.

'Sheriff Bob' had initially agreed to a $25,000 Fight Purse for an 'easy' tune-up bout.
But then demanded another $5000.

When he was told 'NO', he walked out.
Bill, your nostalgia is giving life to this forum. Naming the venues, promotoers, etc... is pure boxing nostalgia. Love it
