A$100 incentive will be paid to those who enroll and complete this study. ^ A T _ Volunteers In Pharmaceutical Research® 776-1417 LAS VEGAS (AP) — Mike Tyson, take a num ber and wait your turn. Champion Evander Ho lyfield is calling the shots. He has targeted George Foreman as the first challenger for the undisputed heavyweight title he took from Buster Douglas on Thursday night. If Holyfield gets by the 42-year-old Foreman, whom he’ll be favored to beat, then he will be as sured of another big payday against Tyson. “George Foreman happens to be ranked now and Evander Holyfield has the option of fighting anyone in the top 12,” World Boxing Association attorney Jimmy Binns said Friday. “Mike Tyson will have his mandatory shot when he’s entitled to it.” The site and date for Holyfield’s defense against Foreman are expected to be announced in about two weeks, Holyfield’s handlers said. Holyfield’s future fights, particularly if he beats Foreman and defends against Tyson, fig ure to be financial blockbusters. Although the Holyfield-Douglas bout was less than a memorable sports event, as Holyfield floored the pudgy champion at 1:10 of the third light w ings of the fight. The live gate was about $9 million, andar. lilli other $5 million was realized through thesalei foreign and delayed broadcast rights. Stal round, the fight was a whopping financial suc cess. Promoters say some 1 million households paid an average of $34.95 for the fight, topping the previous high of 700,000 homes for the 1988 bout between Tyson and Michael Spinks. Mike Trainer, who promoted the fight for ho tel operator Steve Wynn, said the Mirage will net about $19 million from the pay-per-view sales, and about $1.5 million from closed-circuit show- That still leaves Wynn a few million dol short of the cost of the light, but that sum pn bly will be made up by gamblers losing bigraoiie in the resort’s casino. “The casino was huge,” Mirage spokesi® Alan Feldman said. “We did big business, expect that to carry through the entire weel end.” The 28-year-old Holyfield, who alreadyc«; a couple of car dealerships in his native got $8.2 million for fighting Douglas, w $19.9 million. will 0y LIBBY KUR1 )Uhe Battalion Texas A&M ncreasing its ei hough a Texas ioordinating B sponsored by AY4” McDonald’s fexas colleges at nflux of studer lationwide are nent.
