Well, fuck.
Too Bad To Be True
Oh, man, you mean now we won’t get to watch a bunch of old, UFC washouts & perennial losers fight each other next month? I wonder why they canceled? Surely tickets must have been selling like hotcakes. 
Called it! What a fucking joke
No wonder shogun pulled out of the fight
Shogun likely demanded a portion of his purse before the event was too occur.
They likely refused this so he pulled. Just my guess tho.
Any company that hires Tyron Woodley in 2025 deserves to go under. What does Matt Serra have to say about this?
Shucks guys, what a shame!
Finally for the first time ever a promotion that is about the fighters and it goes under! We’ve never seen those come and go before. What a loss.
Seriously though, good for the fighters that these morons went under before the people fought and didn’t get paid like was almost certainly going to happen.
I wish I could have put money on that, what a joke
Maybe the arena was too expensive? They should try holding the event on a Battleship or something.
I just went to the GFL website
They don’t sell merch, this is generally the time when I buy tshirts
From MMAJunkie:
GFL founder Darren Owen explained a financial obligation was not met by one of the promotion’s main investors and hopes to hold the first events in June, he told MMA Junkie via email Thursday.
“Our primary investor didn’t fulfill his April obligation which has caused some issues however we have a solution in place,” Owen said. “We are likely going to have to launch in June but 100% moving forward.”
So it sounds like their primary investor has gotten cold feet, which is not surprising. Nothing about the rollout of GFL has inspired confidence of this being a sustainable operation.
I can’t imagine getting this far into a business plan - including press releases and interviews
To not have your funding secured
It’s as if he was gambling on having names under contract to lure investors
Crazy
