Don King Productions was granted its motion for injunctive relief Saturday against Shine Fight Promotions and boxer Ricardo Mayorga, who was scheduled to make his MMA debut against former UFC lightweight contender Din Thomas tonight at Shine Fights 3 “World Collide” at the Crown Coliseum in Fayetteville, N.C.

Broward County, Fla., Judge Marc Gold ruled Shine Fights could not promote the 36-year-old boxer, per his agreement with the boxing promotion. DKP has an exclusive three-year contract with Mayorga, which was signed on October 1, 2009.

“The court found that Mayorga is not a legitimate mixed martial artist and that Shine was not legitimately promoting him as one for this event,” said Brito, “and that the only reason anyone was attending this ‘Worlds Collide’ event was to see how Mayorga fared as a boxer against an MMA fighter.”

As of 5:30 p.m. ET, Shine Fights had yet to make an official statement regarding their plans for the pay-per-view's Mayorga-Thomas main event. "Worlds Collide" begins at 9:00 p.m. ET, while the Mayorga-Thomas bout was expected to air roughly an hour and a half into the broadcast.

A Shine Fights spokesman told Sherdog.com that the MMA promotion had not yet received the court's decision but would comment when it did. The spokesman said he was unaware of any plans to replace Mayorga on just a few hours notice.

According to Brito, Judge Gold suggested that DKP would be successful in proving that Mayorga is in breach of his contract with the boxing promotion. He believed that whether Mayorga won, lost or was injured in his proposed bout with Thomas, DKP would suffer “irreparable damage” in trying to promote Mayorga again as a boxer.

DKP said it has already secured Mayorga’s next boxing assignment against current WBA world middleweight champion Felix Sturm in August or September 2010.

This article was updated at 5:30 p.m. ET to reflect that Shine has not yet notified Sherdog.com on whether Mayorga will remain on the card regardless of the injunction.



King won but they're still not saying if Mayorga is going to go ahead and fight. I doubt it unless they want to get sued. Stay tuned.

Don king is a ****ing scumbag.

[Sweet Jesus]

Well I was wrong. I was really looking forward to this one.

As a gesture of goodwill, Don King should let Mayorga fight and then bring him back to boxing later this year....

Mayorga is the dummy who signed with King, no doubt influenced by a duffel bag or two of cash.

You'd think they would've talked all this out with lawyers before stopping it last minute.

Mayorga should be thanking Don King.

He doesn't belong in mma.
