Don King injunction prompts Shine Fights cancellation of 'Mayorga vs Thomas' (Updated)

Don-laughs_medium

In the battle between boxing and mixed martial arts, Shine Fights suffered an early defeat today (May 15) when the courts ruled in favor of Don King Productions (DKP), who filed an injunction earlier this week to try and stop the "Worlds Collide: Mayorga vs. Thomas" pay-per-view main event from Fayetteville, North Carolina.

SI.com corespondent Josh Gross reported the news earlier today.

King and his band of merry men argued that Mayorga was under an exclusive promotional agreement with DKP and that his fight against "Dinyero" put the former pugilist in breach of contract.

Shine Fights CEO Devin Price was confident that Mayorga was being employed and promoted legally, based on the distinction between boxing and mixed martial arts. He argued that DKP represents "El Matador" for the former, and Shine Fights for the latter.

Unfortunately Broward Country Circuit Court Judge Marc C. Gold did not agree.

Star-divide

James Kimball here with an update: As much as it makes absolutely zero sense, who didn't see this move coming by Shine Fights?

MMA Weekly confirms Josh Gross' earlier report that the promotion intends to ignore the court ruled injunction and carry on with the event as planned. 

Shine Fights' PR representative Phil Lanides was quoted as saying the following: "Official position at this point is that we're still going forward."

If Shine Fights maintains this stance, there will undoubtedly be some serious legal repercussions to pay. Two quick schools of thought on this; either Shine has no idea of what kind of trouble they will likely find themselves in if they ignore the ruling as they will of course subsequently hear from Don King's lawyers.

Or, as SB Nation's Brent Brookhouse points pout, Shine is just posturing to sell pay-per-views, and will cancel the main event bout once the card is already under way. 

Update 2: MMA Fighting spoke to Don King Productions lawyer Alex Brito:

"The judge made it abundantly clear that if anybody ignores this ruling there will be sanctions imposed, and there will be severe penalties. I would have to assume that they're going to honor the court's ruling and whatever statements they've made to the contrary are not reflective of what they actually intend to do.

We're going to be essentially prosecuting the claim of breach of contract by Mr. Mayorga and the claim of interference with that contract by Shine Fights. We'll need to pursue those claims going forward as we would in other case."

Oh, the drama. Who's gonna give in first?

Update 3: It's official. Shine Fights has come to their senses and canceled the main event contest featuring Ricardo Mayorga and Din Thomas.

Shine Fights announcer Karyn Bryant reported the news a short while ago.

The Murilo "Ninja" Rua vs. David Heath fight will now serve as the card's headliner. 

The show's over folks. Everybody can go home now... or at least turn your full attention to Strikeforce: "Heavy Artillery."

Update 4: Talk about foreshadowing. As I ended the last update with 'the show's over folks,' I was of course just referring to the circus that was Don King vs. Shine Fights as it related to the main event. Now, well, the show is literally over.

Shine Fights announcer Karyn Bryant recently reported that the North Carolina commission has scrapped the entire event. 

MMAmania.com will bring you Shine Fights' official statement regarding this amazingly peculiar/embarrassing/Don Kingified situation.

WHO SAID IT.....

that’s right your boy NNR once again hits it on the head. I told everybody long before any of the PPV was even put together that Mayorga would never ever step into a cage.

The only worthy fight was Thomas-Mayorga

Nobody would pay for a Ninja-Heath main event and it would be cheating the people who paid for tickets if they still put on the event without the fight that everyone paid to see. At least this way people get refunds.

Don King sums up everything wrong with boxing

The guy is a crook, murderer, leach, fraud he has absolutely no redeeming qualities. I hope that any decent MMA promotion will keep well away from him and that he doesn’t sabotage David Haye’s HW title reign like he’s been trying to. When he is no longer a promoter boxing will be a much better sport because of it, there’s no need for parasites like that guy to ruin more combat sports.

Hopefully Din will still get paid something as he’s had his time wasted by King and Mayorga and after his past legal trouble he can’t afford to not get paid anything for what wad going to be his highest profile fight to date. As for Mayorga I wouldn’t be surprised if him and King planned this as a publicity stunt from the start, props to whoever it was on here that said that Ricardo would pull out the day of the fight (I think that it was NNR).

This fight was the entire marketing for the PPV, without it, they are f**ked. I see them going on with the PPV, gathering every penny they can, without paying anyone then taking their money and running for the hills.

They are gonna definitely go bankrupt WITHOUT Mayorga – Thomas….so they might as well go ahead with the fight and go bankrupt and probably get sued. they are in a lose – lose situation, so they might as well go ahead with the fight

Depends on the contract. If Shine has their HQ in Broward then yeah, it could easily carry over to NC and be enforced here. Most courts will stick to another court’s ruling within reason. This isn’t an exception. I’m curious as to whether or not we’ll see police stop the event though.

Don King may play dirty but he is he’s not breaking any rules here. He’s just trying to protect his business interests. Plain and simple.

Yeah

Most people would, but I think they’re questioning the timing on this one. It just seemed to come up in the last few weeks when the event has been scheduled for quite awhile.

Die King

Drag Queen is a piece of shit. Protecting his interest Mayorga is done boxing you jack-off. Let Ricardo put some food on the table for his family

LMFAO!

I see a deal being worked out in the next couple hours or Shine is going to be circling the drain, Mayorga should schedule a meeting with king(out of country) and just put him to sleep, where’s The Punisher when you need him…

I gots blood on my hands and theres no remorse, I gots blood on my dick cause I fu**ed a corpse, I'm a nasty knigga, when you pass me knigga look me in my eye, and tell to my fu**in face that your ready to die.

Anyways I clearly hate this too. I’m just tired and found it slightly humorous cause I’ve never seen so many ppl wish death upon someone. I unno made me laugh. Villians are funny.

Yo yo yo yo

Schizophrenia, how many of ya got it?
How many motherfuckers can say they psychotic?
How many motherfuckers can say they brain dry-rotted from pot?
You got it like I got it or not?
If you did, you would know just what I’m talkin bout
When your tongue’s rottin out from cotton-mouth
When you end up becomin so dependent on weed
That you end up spendin a g in the vendin machine
You got the munchies, look at you, junk food junkie
Potato chips and lunch meat, up in the front seat
Sometimes you can get so paranoid from ganja
That’s it gotcha thinkin the whole world is watchin ya
Or maybe you don’t smoke, maybe you just roll
But whatever your drug’s yo, go for the gusto
Just don’t, come fuck with me when I’m doin my drugs
You see me in the club don’t come fuckin my high up

Our time has come, and your time has passed

Get out the way while I grind for cash
Money in the bank, and the rest be stashed
When it’s all done, I will not be last
Y’all know me, y’all gon’ see
Ben Franklin is my homie
E-y-es is all on me,
So lay it down, like ballin’ G

never have any regrets, because at the time, thats all you wanted to do

‘Bout time I set this record straight
All the needlenose punchin’ is making me irate
Sick o’ my bitchin’ fallin’ on deaf ears
Where you gonna be in the next five years?
The crew and all the fools, and all the politix
Get your lips ready, gonna gag, gonna make you sick
You got dick when they passed out that good stuff
BAM!
Are you sick of me?
Good enough, had enough!

“Fuck me! I’m all out of enemies!”

How is Don King still alive. You’d think ONE of the people he’s screwed over would have pushed him off a building by now

You seriously haven't heard of Mayorga?

Either you didn’t really watch boxing to begin with, or you are just too young I guess…

I feel bad for the fighters. Not Mayorga, because he probably didn’t train for shit-but all the other guys probably are pretty bummed. I doubt Shine has capitol to pay them anything
