Bigger Purse Wanted
Tom McGuire and Dave Sands were waiting oniy for the O.K. to fly to England -for a match with Dick Turpin and possibly Freddie Miills. Due to the finish of the Olympic Games, ' Jack Solomon advised Sands and McGuire to wait awhile. Now Stadiums Ltd., have cabled an offer for a world title fight between Sands and Mills. However, the price theV are reported to be offering is only £5000. They may consider raisi'ng their terms and should they offer four times their original price the mbney would be worthwhile, considering that Australia offered Tommy Burns £6000 to defend his , title with-an offer of a percentage. Had Burns accepted, his cut would have been £1^3,000.
