Walcott seeks 45 percent cut for title bout
New York June 7 A demand for a 45 per cent share of a title fight by Jersey Joe Walcott and a near term showdown on the proposed Harry Matthews Rocky Marciano bout dominated boxing discussions. Felix Bocchicchio, manager of the heavyweight champion, said the 38 year old would not perform this September unless he gets 45 percent of gate, television and movie revenues. Promoter Jim Norris is keen on matching Walcott against Matthews or Marciano, with an elimination bout between Matthews and Marciano planned in New York late next month. The site may move from New York to Chicago, and Bocchicchio has no license in New York.
