According to Chad Bergmeier, Travis Fulton’s manager on the UG:
We signed a contract for this fight 2 months ago …I was told all the money to promote this event was gathered and ready to pay for the event (fighters included) before 1 ticket was sold …Yesterday I find out otherwise…As soon as Fulton’s plane lands we are told the show is now cancelled …These guys could have fought on other shows this weekend …They could have stayed home with their families. Anyways, today we get told that Rod will pay them next week …Fulton gets a flight home in the morning to Iowa in hopes that this is made right next week …Guys, pay these fighters what they were promised and do the right thing!
[UPDATE]: Sherdog.com reports that Thunder Promotions cancelled the event due to poor ticket sales.
