Strikeforce Pays Winner Bonuses to Fighters of Canceled Fight
Smart move by Strikeforce,
Strikeforce communications director Mike Afromowitz explained the situation.
"Originally, we attempted to place this matchup on another fight card being promoted by a local promoter in Chicago in a couple of weeks. If both fighters had accepted, we would have paid each his fight purse a second time. Since neither was available due to different circumstances, however, we paid each his win bonus on top of the purse."
The Deray Davis Mark Miller fight was canceled due to time constraints and Strikeforce originally paid the fighters only their "to show" salary.
Fight schedules for live events can be tricky. Even the UFC, with all their experience, has had issues with this of late, Paulo Thiago vs. Jon Fitch anyone?
But at least Strikeforce made the best out of an awful situation by paying both fighters their "to win" bonus.
