Don King Productions executive assistant Bill Miller has been trying to decide whether women boers are an attraction.  His refusal to return phone calls and responds to telegrams indicates either an evasion of the issue or a slow thinking process.

In the first quarter of 1980 both Ruben Castillo and Leroy Jones were given world championship matches on national TV.

Let’s consider the fact regarding drawing power.  Look at the records.

1979

January 25, Los Angeles – Costillo-Perez (drew $6,256.50)

January 26 – San Diego – Jones – Moala (drew $3,783.50)

February 11, – Hawthorne – Lady Tyger Trimiar vs Carlotta Lee, (drew $8,650.00)

Don King should be in the leadership position in presenting fighting females.  I feel that a man of Mr. King’s intellect will have no trouble in readhing the proper, fair and wise decision, and in realizing the time is now.
