Titan FC: Money for displaced fighters on Jan 15
Titan FC CEO Jeff Aronson said his promotion wants to make things right with fighters left out of work with the sudden cancelation of this past month’s Titan FC 36.
Titan FC says it will be sending out checks to all fighters who were on the card for the Titan FC 36 event.
Titan FC CEO Jeff Aronson said his promotion wants to make things right with fighters left out of work with the sudden cancelation of this past month’s Titan FC 36.
Aronson today told MMAjunkie Radio that he and Titan COO Lex McMahon will cut checks to help offset the losses stemming from the event, which was scrapped when Aronson suffered complications from a surgery.
McMahon previously said that Titan would compensate fighters and re-book them on a later show, believed by one fighter to be sometime this month.
Aronson did not go into details about the payments going to talent, specifically whether they will get the show portion of their contracted purses, but said the money will go out on Jan. 15.
I’m really trying to do the best thing I can, and I’m dipping into my own pocket on this to make sure that the fighters get something back and it makes it a little easier on them, he said.
I’m discussing it with Lex, he said. He’s calling all the managers and fighters today and tomorrow. The checks are going out the 15th, and like I said, this is something we’re doing because we feel like it’s the right thing to do.
