D'AMATO SURPRISES Boycotts TV, Refuses Money For Patterson By JACK CUDDY United Pr.u Sport Writer New York W Manager Cus D'Amato i defiance of pow er and tradition in the fight game was attracting almost as much attention today as tUe fight of his heavyweight, Floycl Patterson. D'Amato is in the midst of four moves that may make him top man In the world of boxing. They are: Thursday he sends young Patterson back to camp at Greenwood Lake, N.Y., to sharp en for the first "open champ ionship" in ring history a defense of his world profession al title against the world am ateur champion, Pete Rademach er, at Seattle, Wash., Aug. 22. He and Patterson have waived the $175,000 guarantee for Monday night's knockout de fense against Tommy (Hurri cane) Jackson in order to make certain that the D'Amato- ap pointed promoter, Emil Lence, suffers no loss from the Polo Grounds' disappointing gate and stays in business. Boycotts Horn TV He has withdrawn Patter aon from home fight-television on any network until such time as one of the major TV corpor ations shall contract with an independent promoter, like Lence, for a weekly TV-fight scries, in opposition to the In ternational Boxing club's TV fight supremacy. Looking beyond the Rade- macher fight, D'Amato is plan ning another Patterson defense under Lence promotion at New York in October or November which he will try to force into Madison Square Garden or, oth erwise, stage at the big Kings- bridge armory in the Bronx "I want to break the fight game wide open" said the stocky gray-haired manager today: I II have no truck with monopolies or combines or cliques. I want to help independent promoters get back on their feet and make ' it possible for fighters, in all stages of development, to get what they're worth. And, luckily, I've got a world heavy weight champion who shares my ideals." Floyd Loses $51,140 In waiving the $175,000 guar antee for last Monday's fight, D'Amato flabbergasted manag ers throughout fistiana. "Patter ion accepted 40 per cent of all net receipts and took a purse of $123,859 which was $51,140 less than the guarantee. Meanwhile, Jackson, the bad ly battered challenger, remained in the Meadowbrook hospital in suburban East Meadow, recov ering from a kidney bruise that caused blood in his bladder kidney tract. Five speclaHsta made a series of tests, including X-rays, and recommended he remain in the hospital several days for obser vation. Their thorough examin ations disclosed no other serious injuries.
