RACHMANN HANDLERS ASKING FOR TOO MUCH TO FIGHT CONDES


PhilBoxing.com




The handlers of IBF minimum weight champion Muhammad Rachman are asking for too much money to defend his title against mandatory challenger Florante Condes of the Philippines who is jointly managed by former boxer Aljoe Jaro and American Dante Ortiz.

Ortiz informed Viva Sports/Manila Standard Today that Condes’ new promoter Bobby Bostick had offered Rachman $25,000 plus a rematch if he loses but that Indonesian matchmaker Tourino Tidar came back with what he termed “ a final offer” of $75,000. IN addition he wanted the purse tax free plus four roundtrip airline tickets including one business class ticket, two options and a ten day stay with hotel accommodation and meals.

Bostick branded the demand “not even realistic” and made a final offer of $30,000. At the same time he said the IBF was “tired of waiting” since Championship Committee chairman Lindsey Tucker indicated earlier that the IBF “ordered Rachman to start negotiations back in late January” stating that this fight will be Rachman’s mandatory defense.

In an offer made to stage the title defense in Indonesia, Rachman’s promoter said he would give Condes only a $10,000 purse prompting Bostick to tell Tidar “if you want to work together for the future let’s get real.”

Rachman was planning on a unification bout against WBO champion Ivan Calderon but the IBF stepped in and directed the champion to first defend his title against the heavy-handed Condes who is 26 years old and has a record of 20 knockouts in 21 wins with 3 losses and 1 draw.

Rachmann is coming off a seventh round TKO victory over another Filipino Benjie Sorolla last December 23. Rachman won the title on September 14, 2004 with a split decision victory over Daniel Reyes in Jakarta. Rachman is 35 years old and has a record of 61-5-5 with 20 knockouts.

A devastating puncher Condes won the Philippine minimum weight title on December 10, 2005 with a sixth round KO over Philip Parcon who was dropped in rounds four and six. Among his three losses was a split decision to Sorolla on May 1m 2005.
