    This what he wrote on the blog.
    "The Juan Diaz-Michael Katsidis lightweight fight scheduled for Sept. 6 in Diaz's hometown of Houston on HBO's "Boxing After Dark," is on shaky ground from what Sampson Lewkowicz, who is involved with Katsidis and Caballero, told me. It may still come together, but there are issues. Money, of course, is a factor. Let's hope they work it out, because it is a sensational fight on paper."

    well GBP are the ones calling things and katsidis was the one to refuse but i think he was right to refuse, juan is just bad for him imo. He should try making a fight with khan, i'd pick him against khan

    Katsidas should be greatful for a shot at Diaz:deal Any other fighter after that devastating KO loss would be back in Australia fighting cabdrivers

    Katsidis will never have a problem getting a fight on tv. He should get the money he deserve because this is going to be a tough fight for both fighters. He wants to get paid for going to war with Diaz .

    Katsidas was willing to except a 80-20 split to fight Diaz last December when Diaz still held all the titles.

    GBP prolly thought he would take the same deal now.
