Despite an apparent crushing blow, Shine Fights officials say tonight’s
pay-per-view show will go on as advertised.
A Broward County, Fla., court has ruled in favor of Don King
Productions’ claims that Ricardo Mayorga is in breach of his promotional
contract with the company and that Shine Fights’ use of him in a mixed
martial arts bout at tonight’s “Worlds Collide: Mayorga vs. Thomas”
event represents “tortious interference.”
Despite the ruling, Shine Fights representatives say Mayorga will still
compete in tonight’s scheduled contest with Din Thomas.
