Mayorga vs. Thomas Remains in Jeopardy Over Term 'Bout' (5/12/2010 3:40:23 PM)
Filed under: Fighting, FanHouse Exclusive, NewsIn the court battle over whether boxer Ricardo Mayorga is contractually free to pursue his MMA debut against former UFC fighter Din Thomas at this Saturday's Shine Fights event in North Carolina, a lot may depend on what the definition of the word "bout" is. Last week, Don King Productions filed a motion in a Florida court for preliminary injunctive relief to stop Mayorga's participation in the Shine Fights 3 pay-per-view event, alleging that Mayorga is violating his exclusive promotional contract with DKP by engaging in the MMA bout. According to copies of the motion and the separate complaint obtained by MMA Fighting, Don King Productions claims that its contract with Mayorga prevents the fighter from participating in any bouts not promoted by DKP.
Is Din Thomas Planning to Trade Strikes With Ricardo Mayorga? (5/12/2010 2:40:07 PM)
Filed under: Fighting, NewsHe said it with conviction, so maybe we should believe him, but is Din Thomas really planning to stand with Ricardo Mayorga at their Shine Fights main event this weekend?

Thomas, who is a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, is 25-8 in his career, with 14 wins coming by way of submission. If he wanted to, he could probably take Mayorga down within a few seconds of the opening bell and tap him out inside of one minute. But the American Top Team product says that he's interested in the test that Mayorga provides, and that test will only take place when they are standing upright and trading leather.

"It's nobody's fault really," Thomas today told MMAjunkie.com Radio. "It's a miscommunication. But the commission said, 'Look, we don't even care about taking a percentage, but Javier wants a percentage.' He was trying to get me to pay him so I could still fight."
