Shine could try to show that they got really harmed by this (and they did, they have to pay fighters out of pocket now.) to get that money, but I doubt it'll stick.

Why is everyone bitching? The fight is still going on

multiple sources have stated its off

the promotion itself has moved one of its other fights to the main event slot

its not happening, at least not tonight

Only in America.

Don King Productions' last-minute legal wrangling has apparently resulted in the cancellation of tonight's planned Shine Fights pay-per-view headliner between Ricardo Mayorga and Din Thomas.

And despite an initial air of defiance, Shine Fights officials have reportedly conceded defeat and will host tonight's fight card without the originally planned main event.

The official removal of the fight was first noted by Shine Fight broadcaster Karyn Bryant, who posted the report on her Twitter account.

"Mayorga's out," Bryant stated. "'Ninja' Rua vs. David Heath is new headliner at Shine tonight. Still lots of good fights going down!"
