Don King Gets Injunction; Will Mayorga Appear On MMA Show?
FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla.—Broward County Circuit Court Judge Marc C. Gold heard eight hours of testimony over two days in his Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., courtroom before granting an emergency injunction in favor of Don King Productions and against a Mixed Martial Arts promoter that had planned to present an MMA event this evening in Fayetteville, N.C., headlined by former three-time world champion Ricardo Mayorga.
Mayorga has been and continues to be represented solely and exclusively by Don King Productions in a series of promotional agreements since 2001.
