WCO Event Cancelled
Written by Scott White on Sun, Jan 13, 2008
Last night it was announced that the WCO (World Cagefighting Organization) event in San Diego had been cancelled due to a lack of funding.
According to reports, problems began to surface on Friday evening when the California State Athletic Commission learned that funding had not been secured to pay the fighters competing on the card.
“At the eleventh hour, the commission was informed there were insufficient funds to pay the fighters,” CSAC executive director Armando Garcia told Sherdog.com. “In the end, we had to cancel the event.”
Sherdog is reporting that all of the fighters are guaranteed 20 percent of their purse, which must be paid by January 18.
