    Got called off because Collazo refused the purse bid. $35K to split between the two of them just wasn't enough. Clottey will still be on a Versus card, but the opponent has yet to be named. Probably another third-rater.

    I wouldn't go as far as calling him a coward.

    The Purse Bid was won for only 35K. Which means he would have only probably made 17.5K - and he still has to pay his team. That's not the kind of money you're looking for to fight either one of these guys.

    It would have been a pretty good fight - it was just a bad business move. Get the money right and let them fight.
