Shine Fights responds to Don King's threat:

Despite demands from Don King Productions to "cease and desist" promoting Ricardo Mayorga, Shine Fights Promotions CEO Devin Price is assuring fight fans that the May 15th MMA event "WORLDS COLLIDE: MAYORGA VS. THOMAS" will go forward "without a doubt." Price also added, "Shine Fights has a valid and exclusive promotional contract with Ricardo Mayorga for mixed martial arts. We are pleased to offer both MMA fans and boxing fans a great night of MMA action on Saturday, May 15th."

"When we announced this fight I said that we think Mayorga’s fans are just that, his fans, and that they will follow him to MMA," said Price. "Our target is to convert many boxing fans into fans of both sports."

Nice, glad they’re not backing down to Don.

Sure glad Lesnar got his shit straightened out.

I actually have mild interest in this one

I do think Mayorga has some kind of puncher’s chance. As opposed to James Toney, who would probably get his ass kicked by just about anyone, since his entire boxing style is predicated around the fact that nobody can attack his legs.
