What should I say to rude sales manager?

[Deleted85763]

About 2 weeks ago a sales manager of large company contacted me and said they had inventory they wanted to move. They asked if I knew anyone that might have interest. I told them I had a prospect, a small distributor. The distributor said yesterday they would buy the inventory and would issue a PO today. I let the sales manager of the large company know the good news. But today the owner of the distributor called me and said they had some additional questions before they issue a purchase order. I went back to the large company and told the sales manager. He said:

"We will not provide anything more unless we receive a PO by Monday morning. If one is not issued by then, then we will not do business with you. We are not going to be screwing around!".

So if there is no PO on Monday the sales manager is probably going to say something else very rude. What should I say or do? I was thinking about reporting it to his boss. The sales manager has been with the company for many years so it may or may not have an effect but I think I need to at least lodge a complaint. What do you think?
