Smooth sailing would not be a term used to describe Shine Fights’ recent history.
Nearly three months after the promotion’s latest pay-per-view event was
canceled, a firestorm of controversy has followed its latest effort,
“Shine Fights: Lightweight Grand Prix,” a pay-per-view event scheduled to take place
tonight at the First Council Casino in Newkirk, Okla.
But despite widespread concern about the event’s legitimacy, the
fighters competing in the grand prix are ready to go, and a Shine
executive said everyone will be in good hands.
