TALENTED brothers, ANTHONY
and LAMONT PETERSON, have
signed promotional contracts
with Top Ranit.
But they have done it without
informing their manager Shelley
Finkel.
New Yorl<-based Finkel, who
has filed for arbitration against the
fighters and their father-figure and
trainer Barry Hunter, was in
negotiations with Golden Boy and
claims he could have almost
doubled the Petersons' $100,000
signing-on bonus with Top Rank.
Finkel's contract with the
brothers is valid until September
2009 and had they signed with
Golden Boy they would have made
their debut on the Oscar De La
Hoya-Steve Forbes May 3 bill.
Instead, it looks like Anthony will
box on the Ricardo Torres-Kendall
Holt July 5 show with Lamont
taking on the winner of the main
event in the future.

CRUISERWEIGHT worlJ champion
David Haye and promoter Frank
Maloney have gone their separate ways.
Their successful two years together
saw Haye reign as European champion
and make an impressive debut at
heavyweight before unifying the
cruiserweight crown.
The parting was amicable.
Haye and his trainer Adam Booth
sat next to Golden Boy CEO Richard
Schaefer at the Joe Calzaghe-Bernard
Hopkins fight last Saturday.
The Londoner held talks with
Golden Boy in Las Vegas and Los
Angeles.
It was Haye's first time in Las Vegas.
Although he said he's never dreamt of
fighting there, Haye admitted boxing at
somewhere like the MGM Grand is a
statement of success.
Regarding a mooted fight with
Audley Harrison, Haye said he and the
2000 Olympic champion were friends
and a meeting was unlikely.
