NATE CAMPBELL: WATCH HOW CASAMAYOR RUNS!"
By G. Leon

GL: Earlier today Don King won the purse bid for your fight with Joel Casamayor. Based on the bid DK entered, do you think the fight is going to come off?



Nate Campbell: "Well, first of all. The bid just goes to show Casamyor what Golden Boy thinks about him. They only bid like $571, 000. If he thinks they believe in him and they bid half of what my promoter does, I don't know."

GL: I know you're in camp right now. Who are you in camp for?

Nate Campbell: "I'm in camp for a fight, I don't know with who. I let Don and Terry Trekas handle that, I'm just going to get myself ready to fight somebody."

GL: How much time does the Casamayor camp have before they have to make a decision?

NC: "I think they have a week. We're going to see Casamayor's true colors soon."

GL: How was your honeymoon?

NC: "The Honeymoon was great. I enjoyed myself over there in the Cayman Islands and I'm thinking about buying myself a property there in the near future. Now I'm ready for a fight though, he's talking like he's the best in the world, I want him to prove it. Me and him fighting next would clean the division up. They mandated the fight and he's going to back out when he could have given the fans the best fight out there."

GL: Do you think he makes more money to fight Juan Diaz?

NC: "I don't know."

GL: If you're Joel Casamayor and you're making significantly more for a fight with Juan Diaz than you'd make for a fight with Nate Campbell, even though the fight with Campbell might be more significant, who do you fight?

NC: "Nate Campbell will always go after the best fight and not the best money. But everybody is not like me and they're motivated by different things than I am. Everybody else wants to make a lot of money and retire and I'm here to fight."

GL: Based on your discussions with King and Terry is there a target month for your next fight?

NC: "Sometime in July."

GL: And King is willing to do it by himself if he has to correct?

NC: "Oh yeah, I have a promoter. I'm not like Casamayor, I don't have a booking agent, I have a promoter."

GL: Closing thoughts?

NC: "I'm looking forward to my next fight in July and then I'll be looking to unify the division before the end of the year."






Maybe a Campbell-Pacquiao unification fight at the end of the year?
