Prograis was left without a fee for the fight with Cepeda
Regis Prograis
Regis Prograis (28-1, 24 KOs) said he still hasn't been paid for Saturday's fight for the vacant WBC super lightweight title with Jose Cepedoy (35-3, 27 KOs). The money was supposed to be credited to the American's account within three days after the battle, but the conditions were not met.
Saturday's fight was organized by the promotional company MarvNation Promotions, which has not previously held major boxing events. The winning bid in the tender to organize this fight was an impressive $2.4 million.
The money was split 50/50 between the Prograis and Cepeda teams. The fight ended with an early victory for Prograis with a spectacular knockout in the eleventh round. The fight took place in the USA in a paid broadcast.
