Note that William's promoter Dan Goosen hasn't made an offer to Antonio yet. At least a Nice and Fair offer that has been made public. It should be a nice and fair offer, considering Tony's injuries and the competitiveness of the fight.
It appears that Goosen is hiding behind the "Tony is ducking Paul" argument to pressure Team Tony to lower their standards for a fair offer. As of now, Cotto IS the nice and fair offer.
But the point is that Williams is Margarito's MANDATORY. If Williams never makes an offer at all, it still goes to a purse bid. The ball is just as much in Tony's court as in Williams's--more so, really. If he's happy to keep his belt and have the fight, then it behooves his team to get out there and try to negotiate something better than the standard split. Instead, he's doing nothing and just saying he'll vacate the belt he's held longer than any other WW champ rather than take the fight. Walks like a duck....
