Holmes works hard to promote fight
By JAMES LITKE
AP Sports Writer
CHICAGO Larry Holmes leaned over the podium,
acting equal parts fighter and fight promoter. Addressing
Gerrie Coetzee, his opponent in the June 8 battle of
heavyweight champions, he glowered and said: "I don't
play ... I quit school in the seventh grade because they had
recess and I don't play."
Holmes, 34 and unbeaten through 45 professional bouts,
is working harder on the promoting part of his repertoire
beCause the Las Vegas fight will be his first under the
banner of the fledgling International Boxing Federation.
He will be earning a reported $8 million for the contest
and Coetzee about $4 million.
`l'm not only a boxer, I'm a
businessman. And if a fight is going
to be big business for promoters, it
ought to be good business for the
fighters.'
But Holmes expects to keep more of his share than in
previous bouts because his resignation of the World
Boxing Council title last December cut the WBC and long
time Holmes promoter Don King out of the show.
Further, Holmes has never been ranked by or fought

under the aegis of the World Boxing Association, which
also will not be involved in the bout.
Coetzee stands to lose the WBA title he took from
Michael Dokes last September simply by participking in
the fight, which is not sanctioned by the WBA.
But the 28-year-old native of South Africa, who carries a
29-3-1 mark and went out on a limb by predicting he would
KO Holmes in the eighth round, says the match is "the
biggest thing I've ever been involved in ... He (Holmes) is
the best.
"I'm crossing my fingers the WBA won't do it (strip
away the WBA title). I'm sure Larry Holmes is better than
anyone else I could fight," Coetzee said. "It's just a sad
story that he isn't rated."
Holmes bristled at the idea of applying to the WBA for a
ranking in order to get the association's blessing.
"I'm the champ," he said. "Who the hell cares about the
WBA? He's their champ and he's already been knocked
out three times. What kind of business is that? . . .
"I do not knock the WBC or the WBA. They've done
some good things, got some fights for some deserving
people," he continued. "But the thing about some promot
er having options on a man's fights for 20 years is no good.
"I'm not only a boxer, I'm a businessman. And if a fight
is going to be big business for promoters, it ought to be
good business for the fighters."
To ensure that, Holmes, a black, is skilfully playing up
every possible angle of the fight,' including the idea of
losing to a white man from South Africa.
"I told him (Coetzee) in New York (at a March 28 news
conference) that I shook his hand for the last time until we
get into the ring. I'm expecting to get hit but, for a man
with white skin, he cuts very easily."
