I like how MarvNation didn't mess around and got the fight signed etc.

It all seemed to be going so well...

So close... :OhYes:

Any time it’s a new entity getting involved I’d want money upfront or in escrow. Escrow shouldn’t be an issue unless they’re waiting for the backend (PPV income) to finance it. If that’s the case then they shouldn’t be in boxing.

The WBC should do more. The athletic commission were shown proof of funds beforehand but that doesn’t guarantee anything. If you’ve legitimately got the money then escrow should be fine and then once a history is built up then it can revert to post fight.

A bit premature stoppage. More likely Zepeda would have been finished, but he wasn't even given a count, while he wasn't out. He was trapped on the ropes and had a long way down, but a lot of punches weren't clean.

I was OK with it Doc. :maybe:
Maybe Zepeda could have lasted a while longer- but you must have seen his face? He was busted up, and Reggie was just getting into his stride.
You have to admit that sometimes in fights there is a certain' inevitability' about them. One guy is getting busted up, the other is coming on stronger.
Zepeda will come back another day, his level is slightly below championship, but definitely a test to all.

Kevin Iole of Yahoo Sports stated that Prograis had received at least half of his money later that same day.

Bank problem

Roger Ruiz, a spokesperson for Legendz, revealed the problem to Iole and Yahoo Sports.

“Because the account, opened at a Wells Fargo bank branch in Downey, California, was new. Also, a lot of money in large amounts was going in and out of it in a short period, and the bank put a brief hold on it, Ruiz explained.

He added: “We opened the account, I don’t know, in the last month. There wasn’t much going on with it. In the previous week, there was a lot of activity in and out of the account,

“They saw so much money suddenly in and out of the account that they decided to put a hold on it. Regis is the only one who didn’t get paid [on time].”

Ruiz was also the one who claimed Prograis was now in receipt of at least $600,000.

Social media blew up over the matter as reports swirled that MarvNation would join the long list of promoters who couldn’t pay for a Pay Per View venture.

This turned out not to be the case, according to Ruiz, who says Prograis will have all his funds as soon as the bank clears it.

No other fighter on the bill has any similar claims yet.
