16 at the Mack Athletic Center in Las Vegas, a television network reported yesterday. Although no firm dollar figure was released, the bout, to be promoted by Don King and Steve Wynn, will reportedly be worth $5 million to Holmes and $3 million to Coetzee, Cable News Network reported yesterday, The meeting of Holmes and Coetzee has been scheduled before but problems always arose to stall the confrontation. The original date of the fight was June 8 in Las Vegas, but that fell through. On June 18, Holmes announced that he and King, with whom he has had public battles over the promotion of his fights, had signed an agreement for a fight with HOLMES Continued From Page CI Holmes, the boxer identified Lovell as a business agent. Holmes maintained yesterday that Lovell was merely a public relations man who had no input in business matters.

Holmes said he signed both statements without reading them. Outside the courtroom, Spaziani called the statements irrelevant. Lovell testified that he was present when Holmes signed the papers with Hirshfeld Oct. 20. He said Holmes was not planning to fight after a bout with Marvis Frazier last Nov.

25. But Lovell said Hirshfeld handed him the paper, saying, "This is in case you do decide to fight, you'll be fighting for your own company." ADVERTISEMENT Coetzee Nov. 1 Coetzee in either September or October. The fight will be seen on closed circuit television in areas equipped for it, and weeks later on Home Box Office and ABC, CNN reported. Holmes, who is undefeated, relinquished his World Boxing Council title last December rather than take part in a King-promoted defense against Greg Page for $2.25 million.

Holmes won the WBC title on June 9, 1978. Holmes, of Easton, has not fought since last November when he knocked out Marvis Frazier in the first round of a fight not promoted by King. Coetzee, a South African who lives in Huntington Beach, has not fought since he won the WBA title on a lOth-round knockout of Michael Dokes last Sept. 23. Coetzee could be stripped of his WBA title if he fights Holmes, who has not petitioned the WBA for a Top 10 ranking.

Lovell, who said he had no business education, said he understood the contract gave CSM the right to bid to promote a Larry Holmes fight. Lovell and Spaziani denied Sacks' implication that Holmes did not try to get out of the CSM contract until after he was approached by JPD while in Las Vegas for the Frazier fight. Holmes, who holds the title in the new International Boxing Federation, was paid $50,000 initially to sign as CSM co-chairman, then $110,000 on the flight back to his home in Easton after the Frazier fight. Both checks were returned, Spaziani said. Holmes said he called Hirshfeld and told him to "take his $110,000 and shove it and I didn't want to have anything to do with CSM because I thought it was a rip-off company," ADVERTISEMENT -1 Morning Call photo Burt Swayze group of interested fans.

"I'm a little tired," he admitted, "but I have great fun playing in these things. You get to meet a lot of people. Neighbors of mine in Venice, are from Allentown." Watson represents The Plantation in Venice. He attributes his recent good fortunes on the tour to good mental concentration. "The mental part of my game is probably my best asset right now," he insisted.

"I've been working with a sports psychologist Dr. Bob Rolet-ta for a while. It's a lot deeper than just self-confidence." "I've been working real hard for two months now. It all turned around for me at the Buick. I just played great.

I saw Bob just before going out on this stint. It's been eight tournaments in a row." Watson was amiable throughout the day, talking to spectators, giving out autographs, and even signing golf balls. "1 don't mind having to do this. It's a part of the game," he smiled. over the weekend.

Paules and Tony Choy of Palmer-ton were tied at 71 after the first 18 holes, but Paules took a one-stroke lead after 27 holes. Then on the 34th hole, he sank a 20-foot birdie putt to go three-up with two holes to go and that clinched the title. First flight honors went to Ray Muniz of Slatington who defeated Sherwood Green of Palmerton. Woodland Hills Herb Davis and Steve Johnson posted a 2-under par 33 to capture Woodland Hills' Monday night golf tournament. John Long and Terry Williamson were second with a 35.

Tied with him were Don DeAngelis of Plymouth and Rick Os-berg of Waynesboro. All had 68s. Steve Snyder of Berkleigh shared fourth place with two other golfers, all with 70s. Jack Eckenrode of Jeff Richard came up with his first career hit.

Ron Miller was the pitcher on a two-hitter as the Patriot Jacks downed A. H. Sporting Goods 5-1. He struck out four and issued four walks. The big innings were the fifth and sixth.

In the fifth, Tom Oberacker tripled across two runs. In the sixth, three runs were posted on a two-run Watson's primary coach. Watson was visibly tired during yesterday's tourney. After a banquet to celebrate his World Series win, which gave him a 10-year exemption for the PGA Tour, Watson caught two hours of sleep and awoke at 4 a.m. to prepare for his journey to Allentown.

His driver picked him up at 5:30 a.m., and after depositing him at the airport, Watson's flight landed in Allentown at 10 a.m. He completely missed breakfast and grabbed a quick sandwich before the shotgun start at 12 noon, which really didn't tide him over. Watson completed the day With a respectable 2-under par 71 after having a little trouble with the putting. "I'm going to a cocktail party for a little while, then bed," he said of his plans for the evening, with a sharp emphasis on the word bed. "I'm satisfied.

I played real good considering." Watson was definitely looking forward to the Allentown trip after having competed in the event last year. won the third flight with an 90-18-72.

He would eventually like to become a resident of the U.S. "to save the hassles of visas and things. I spend all my time here anyway," he affirmed. "I didn't like fighting in the war and playing golf," Watson, who now calls Florida home, recalled of his birthplace. "This is fun," he commented of golf while walking back to the clubhouse after finishing up.

"It's hard work though. Everything you do is hard work if you want to be any good at it." Watson is planning to compete in this week's B.C. Open in Endicott, N.Y. before undertaking some bass fishing back in Florida, a quiet way to relax from the pressures of the tour. While war has proved less than paradise for Watson, golf is proving to be a tougher, but far more enjoyable battle.
