Description

While 2023 is winding down as the final fight cards of the year take center stage, there's still some drama taking place outside the ring/cage/fight surface. None of that pales in true comparison to the situation involving Scott Kent, the primary promoter & CEO of Lion Fight (aka Lion Fight Promotions), and his inability to pay his fighters with some them going weeks, months, even years without getting paid for their performance in The Art of the 8 Limbs. On this Special Short Interview Edition of #FocusFightsAudio, "Da Chillmesiter" Chris Gary speaks with Australian Amateur MMA Fighter, Pro Wrestler & Gear Maker Alistair "Iron Box" Fleming aka "Gentleman's Combat" about the issues that Lion Fight has had in paying their most recent Main Event Fighters (Steve "Put 'Em To Sleep" Walker & Jesse Astill), the issues that the similar-styled, yet very different sports of Kickboxing & Muay Thai have in getting big shows across North America & Australia respectively and about the future of promoting things like events, concerts & fight shows as the bigger names keep getting bigger backing over smaller hows that fall by the wayside.
