Duva: Holyfield-Foreman Not Moving
A tentative agreement was reached Monday night that would keep the Evander Holyfield-George Foreman heavyweight title fight in Atlantic City, N.J.
The arrangement was revealed by Dan Duva, who would co-promote the bout with Bob Arum on April 19. The site promoter would be Donald Trump.
Trump had bought the fight for $11 million, and his Trump Plaza Hotel Casino would be the site promoter.
Trump, however, last week said there was a “war clause” in the agreement that would reduce the live site payment to $5-6 million. Both Duva and Arum said the war clause was not in effect and threatened to move the fight to Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.
