Sources close to the situation have informed BoxingTalk.com that promoter Don King has paid the WBA's lightweight mandatory contender Prawet Singwangcha $80,000 to ensure that the Acelino Freitas-Juan Diaz fight takes place for both champions titles as originally scheduled. The winner of Freitas-Diaz will have to face Singwangcha in their next fight or risk losing the WBA title. (11:18AM EST)
