"It is unfortunate as it was a good move for Demetrius and his career but we are trying to reschedule it for another date and will hopefully have some more news next week after I get back in Macau and get together with him," Star Boxing's Joe DeGuardia, who co-promotes Andrade with Artie Pelullo's Banner Promotions, told ESPN.com.
DeGuardia and Pelullo, who also co-promote Chris Algieri, are in Macau this week for Algieri's fight against welterweight titleholder Manny Pacquiao on Saturday.
Paul Andrade, Demetrius' father and trainer, who guides his career, was upset about how things went down making the fight.
"They make fights without talking to us," he said of DeGuardia and Pelullo. "They said they had a deal to for us to fight Charlo. We said, 'Really?' We are fine fighting Charlo but then we started talking about money and it wasn't worth the money. We held off as long as we could hold off before it was a wrap. It's like Arite and Joe are both my boys but I get mad because we didn't get to discuss the opponent or anything. They gave us Charlo. We were like, OK, but then we had to talk about the money. Give us a choice. How much for this guy? How much for this guy? How much for that guy?
"They never discussed it with us. They gave us one opponent and didn't want to pay us."
Andrade was offered $250,000, which was eventually increased to $300,000, which would have been a career-high.
"We're the only legitimate titleholder on the whole card and everyone else is making more than us? That's not right," Paul Andrade said. "I'm glad they're all getting paid. I really am, but pay us too. The fight's off. (DeGuardia and Pelullo) put themselves and us in a bad situation.
"We ain't worried about fighting Charlo but everything has a value. We wanted a fair purse. We've done our cheap fights. They need to put more money on the table and they need to talk to us about the plan for my son's career."
