IBC Cold to Coast Bid
OF $1,250,000 for Bout

NEW YORK, June 80 R.-
Rocky Marciano was expected to
agree today, or perhaps tomor-
row, to place his heavyweight
boxing crown on the line against
Archie Moore in September, but
lit appeared likely that the fight
will not be held on the Pacific
Coast.
Boxing Promoter Cal Eaton OF
Los Angeles offered yesterday to
guarantee $1,250.000 for the
heavyweight title bout II the In
ternational Boxing Club would
hold it either in Los Angeles
Memorial Coliseum or In the
Rose Bowl at Pasadena.
But Truman Gibson, secretary
of the IBC. Immediately threw
cold water on the offer by say
ing the IBC els not too inter-

ciano's manager, and Charley

Eaton, in making the largest

held in Los Angeles in late Sep
tember or the first week in Oc-
tober.
In addition to New York and
Los Angeles, Chicago, New Or
leans, Houston and milwaukee,
have been mentioned as cities in
the running for the most-talked-
about fight in recent years.
Gibson expressed doubt that
the fight would draw a million
dollars on the West Coast and
added, "It will do more than a
million anyway in Chicago or
New York and our business is
mostly in the East"
