    "After hearing this, D’Amato made a counter offer. “The ridicule will be big,” he said. “Give me $250,000 and you got a deal, should Floyd beat Tommy ‘Hurricane’ Jackson. I also want $100,000 in escrow that says that if you win, we get the first shot at your title.’ So we signed a contract.” Patterson fulfilled his end of the bargain by winning every round on all scorecards before stopping Jackson in the 10th. The Rademacher fight was scheduled just 24 days later in Sicks’ Stadium in Seattle."
