WBC Suddenly Rescinds Gatti-Mayweather Purse Bid!

Boxingtalk.com contacted Main Events attorney Patrick English who was unaware of WBC ordering Gatti-Mayweather to a purse bid on Friday afternoon. English told he would make some calls and get back to us. Thirty mintues later Boxingtalk received a call from English informing us that the WBC has rescinded its order for a Gatti-Mayweather purse bid until further notice. "After hearing the news from you, I there upon contacted Mauricio Sulaiman who informs me that the purse bid notice has been rescinded until further notice so the WBC could review materials on behalf of Arturo Gatti." There will be MUCH more to follow so stay tuned to our front page at all times. Remember Where You Heard It First! (6:45 PM ET)
