McCoy Jefferies Bout Hangs On Purse Split Debate
In New York on April 16 the boxers McCoy and Jeffries posted $2,000 each as a binding deposit for a proposed 25 round match.

Jeffries objected to splits, favoring a 65 to 35 arrangement—the fight to be held at the Coney Island club if McCoy accepts. Brady expressed indignation and gave McCoy until tonight to decide whether to accept the proposed terms or risk losing the match.
