There’s no contractual obligation for anyone to do five rounds at this point. They both signed bout agreements for three rounds, and there’s no way they could make it happen, but we’ve already agreed to it, and if B.J.’s camp agrees to it, I think it would be great for the fans, Gracie told MMAWeekly.com on Tuesday.
For his part, Penn is more than willing to accept the offer to make the bout five rounds. His only hesitation is that fighting is a business, and as such, he would want a discussion about compensation before the bout is reclassified.
I want to be compensated accordingly and that’s it. I’m more than willing to do a five-round fight, Penn told MMAWeekly.com on Wednesday. If Dana wants a five-round fight, just give me a call and we can put it together right now.
Or if Cesar wants to make it a five-round fight and he wants to compensate me personally, he can put his money where his mouth is, it’s that easy. I’ve been training to fight. I’m ready to fight.
