Brennan Ward isn’t sure any of the fighters competing at WKBFF 1 on Friday night will actually get paid.
Ward was scheduled to headline the bare-knuckle boxing event against former UFC champion Johny Hendricks in a middleweight title fight, but removed himself from the card earlier this week due to a contract dispute.
Ward said he initially was supposed to make $250,000 to show and $250,000 to win, but then WBKFF reduced his contract two weeks ago to $75,000 to show and $75,000 to win. Later, it was reduced to $30,000 to show, Ward said. That’s why he wanted out of the fight.
