Although a Florida court likely sealed the fate of Shine Fights third
event, “Worlds Collide: Mayorga vs. Thomas,” the pay-per-view event
officially was canceled because its promoter did not meet regulatory
requirements.
The North Carolina Boxing Authority canceled the May 15 event because Shine
Fights officials did not provide the remainder of a bond required to
cover fighter purses and did not provide a ringside physician, an
official said.
“The show was canceled over concerns [about] the fighters’ safety and
well-being,” Terrance Merriweather, the superintendent of the North
Carolina Boxing Authority, today told MMAjunkie.com.
