A promoter, (dba "Shine Fight Promotions LLC), had scheduled a pay per view event in our state on May 15, 2010.  The event was cancelled a couple hours before the main event was scheduled to air. We cancelled the event due to the fighter's safety and well being.  There was no doctor on-site along with the fighters purses were not available two hours before the start time of the event.   

We attempted to work out the pay issues for two fighters along with the losses of the Boxing Authority. After several failed attempts to resolve the issue with the promoter and his legal team, we contacted the bond's company on June 17, 2010 and submitted a claim against the bond.  

On August 17, 2010, we received a check from the promoter for all the officials that worked the event until it was cancelled; however, this check did not provide the fighters any financial relief.  After meeting with our legal staff, we released the claim on the bond for the promoter on August 23, 2010.   

This release of the bond would allow the promoter to seek out other states to hold an event; therefore, we have placed Devin Price dba "Shine Fight Promotions LLC" on Fight Fax, Red Flag list.   

North Carolina Boxing Authority doesn't have an issue with any other state wishing to allow this promoter or his company to conduct business in their state; however, they're welcome and encouraged to contact me personally regarding the full details of Shine Fights case file.
