This bout was part of the CBS Sports Spectacular 'Late Night Boxing Show'
It was broadcast on the East Coast at 11:30 PM.
Originally,
Bob Foster {Former World Light-Heavyweight Champion} was to take on
Rafael 'Raffles' Gutierrez in a 10-Round bout.
* Bob Foster was supposed to get a $25,000 Fight Purse.
* Rafael Gutierrez was penciled in to get a $5000 Fight Purse.
1-Day before the bout {Friday, November 19th}, Bob Foster got irritable,
and demanded another $5000+.
CBS-TV who had bought the rights to telecast the bout said 'NO'.
Bob Foster then walked, pissing off CBS-TV {Northwest} and Elmer Boyce
the Fight Promoter.
