Wright Says Tito Fight A Dead Issue For March 19!

Tito's Date May Get Pushed Back!

Just minutes ago, undisputed junior middleweight king, Winky Wright informed Boxingtalk.com that there haven't been any changes made to the offer he received to fight Felix Trinidad. "It's crazy Greg, because this is the fight that everyone in boxing wants to see. The public wants this fight, HBO wants this fight, Trinidad wants the fight and I want to fight Tito more than anything else, but when (Don King) offers me a whole lot less than the $5M they offered me after the first fight with Shane, something's definitely wrong. They should have at least had the decency to start with what they first offered, but don't try to bring the price down after both of us have won big fights since then. Either way the fight ain't going to happen on March 19. If they decide to come with the right offer we could fight in April or May!"  Where this leaves Trinidad's March 19 PPV date is unknown. Remember Where You Heard It First! (6: 45 PM)
