Sly Robinson j
Was Unjustly
Treated In NY
NEW YORK ( ANP'i —When Su
gar Ray Robinson steps into the
ring a,t Yankee Stadium on the
night of Sept 23 to defend hi*
middleweight title against Ca:-
men Basilio. fight fans will see
pugilism’* greatest oddity , Ron- •
inston is the only fighter who deals
his own deals—and if he doesn't
like the. way things are going, he
lets the whole world know it. Al- j
ways a difficult, man to handle.!
because he doesn't want to come
out on the short end of the fi
nancial arrangements, Robinson
has made many enemies in the
fight world and 'he newspaper.; j
havent’ done much to support his
claims.
One writer goes so far as to
say that thousands of tans will
jam Yankee Stadium for the fight
,tust to see Sugar Rav get licked;
and they will be rooting for Ba- ■
silio over the magnificent Robin- i
son.
One thing Basilio veil! have to
thank Robinson for which these .
"16yal fight, fans" have overlooked
—is a bigger purse than he would
have gotten had the IBC plan*
not been challenged end 'wreck
ed by Robinson. Basilio stand:;
now to collect Sim.ooo, which he
would not have gotten had Robin
son permitted the IRC arrange
ment* with the closed circuit- TV
to stand.
When Sugar Fay looked in
to >he matter and saw that he
was going to miss out on a fat
stun, he balked as only Sugar
Hay can do. Hr even went sn
far as to rail on Governor
Hariiman. who, i< seems,
s f eered cleat of the argument
as he has enough on his hands
as it is
Meanwhile the New York Sta’c
Boxing Commission mow an all
white body under the Democratic
governor) "ordered" Robinson to
go through with the tight Sitting
in on the hearing were the com
missioner Julius Helfand and one
of his. associates? James A Far
ley Jr . (who holds the. Job be
cause his dad held it at one time
and used it as a political spring
board*. But brave old Sugar told
them in effect okay, but if T ve
on® TV camera or michophone
for radio at ringside, I'll walk
out.’'
And that’s what Robinson
meant So what happened’ Big
Jim Norris, president of the IRC
bulled a. faint, and had to be rush
ed to the hospital—for food pois
on, they say, But somewhere down*
the line, when Robinson showed
grave concern oyer Norris’ condi
tion, some quick shifts were made
and now-', a, new TV setup has
been arranged with Surer Rav
standing to collect. $225,000 -and
for that, the “loyal boxing fans"
would toe glad to see his head
knocked off,
