Manuel Pérez Barreiro, the manager of former world flyweight (115 pounds) champion of the World Boxing Association, the Venezuelan Liborio Solis, has ten days to return 35% of the purse which his fighter received for the match with Daiki Kameda on December 3 in Osaka, Japan.

 

Solis had received full payment of his purse when he faced Daiki, but he failed to make the weight 115-pound weight limit and lost his WBA crown on the scale. Solis won the fight with a twelve round decision, but because he failed to make weight Kameda kept his IBF belt.

The WBA's Legal Committee sent a notification to Barreiro, demanding 35% of the fighter's purse - as a penalty for his weight failure. According to the WBA's rules, 25% will go to the rival promoter and 10% will go to Kameda.
