Just read this on the current scene:

If an agreement won't be reached within 15 days, a purse bid can be ordered by any party. The match has to take place no later than February 10, 2008.

Oscar De La Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions has won the purse bid with a $US1.5 million purse bid lodged in San Juan, Puerto Rico WBO headquarters. Don King showed no interest. There is some doubt that Diaz wants the fight and there is a strong possibility he will relinquish the WBO title.

I really think Katsidis would rather fight Diaz, but it looks like he will probably get the WBO belt by default.

Either way lets hope he gets a big fight next.

Yea, verily! A championship belt ain't worth shit if you can't make a quid out of it.
