Berlin, March 19--Promoter Walter Rothenburg has Max Schmeling signed to box Max Baer for the world heavyweight championship and is seeking a site for the bout, but has not been able to come to terms with the champion, he said today.
His offer of $300,000 of Baer brought from the champion a demand for a guarantee, with the privilege of taking a percentage of the gate receipts.
Rothonburg, promoter of the recent Schmeling-Steve Hamas bout, will visit Rome, Vienna, London and other European cities soon to determine where to hold the title match, when--and if--the champion signs.
