By JACK CUDDY, United Press Sports Writer NEW YORK, July 21—Ray (Sugar) Robinson, world welterweight champion and one of the ring’s best all-round fighters, was informed by his accountants today that, thus far, his boxing activities in 1948 had cost him approximately $6000. That's one of the reasons why Sugar Ray is dissatisfied with being king of the welters. It's costing him money to operate on a monarchial basis in a realm| where there's no attractive op-| position.
