The history of K-1 is being repeated. Maybe this is the beginning of the end?

 

According to the information obtained by us , K -1 Global has not paid fees to the famous K-1 stars for their performances half a year or even a year ago.

This has negatively influenced the resulting set of fighters for the final 16. The reason: most fighters refused to fight . For example, Abraham Roqueni will not fight on the K-1 World Max Final 16 on September 14th in Majorca , Spain. The reason for not rejection is purely financial one. Roqueni said that the company engaged in his promotion and which is also a co-organizer of the K-1 tournament, owes him money.

Abraham also said that he has not been paid for the performance at the K-1 tournament in Greece last year and for his fight against Arthur Kishenko at the Enfusion  tournament in March. By the way, based on confirmed information we can say that Kishenko is also waiting for the payment from the K- 1. These group of unpaid fighters has been joined by Miurtel Groenhart which faces similar problems.

We wonder what would be the effect of this news how this news on the rest of the September tournament participants. Will it motivate debtors to pay the money they owe to Rokeni and other fighters? It is worth noting that young and promising fighters of the new generation have also refused to participate at the Final 16. Among them you can find such names as the World KOK Champion Mateusz Kopietz, Lithuanian champion of the World Grand Prix Tadas Yonkus and the European and World KOK Champion from Moldova Dorel Christian . One can surely say that attempts to revive the K-1 after the above-mentioned factors will bring zero results.
