But Deoria sought 40%

In mid-June, Harry Joe Yorgey prevailed in an arbitration case over his ex-manager James E. Deoria. Yorgey is a veteran junior middleweight and a popular performer in Pennsylvania.  In a decision by the Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission on the 13th of June, the commission ruled that Yorgey “may take part in any contest or exhibition or otherwise exercise his talent without the approval of Manager Deoria, as long as Deoria receives 15% of the fighter’s purses, instead of the original Boxer/Manager contract of 40%”.  Yorgey can now participate in boxing matches without the approval of Deoria, who had previously contested any bouts that were presented to Yorgey by his new promoter Arthur Pelullo of Banner Promotions.  Deoria previously blocked Yorgey's plant to fight on March 7, 2008 at the Foxwoods Casino on the ESPN2 versus Jason LeHoullier. Now, that bout is back on for August 22, 2008 at the Sommet Center in Nashville, Tennessee. source: banner promotions
