En we hebben een reactie uit het Golden Glory kamp, dit stond zojuist op MMAJUNKIE:
In a statement released by The Law Offices of Roderick J. Lindblom, KOI and Golden Glory allege their own issues:
"This lawsuit is a preemptive action on the part of Mr. Overeem and his counsel in response to KOI's recent notification to Mr. Overeem of numerous violations by him of his management agreement with KOI, including but not limited to his failure to pay commissions for past fights and endorsement deals secured by KOI and Golden Glory.
"KOI and Golden Glory are respected organizations committed to securing the best fight deals and training for their team of fighters. Mr. Overeem's continued suggestions to the contrary are scurrilous and will be vigorously defended in the proper forum.
"Alistair Overeem is a striker – he wants to throw the first punch. But this misguided decision to file a lawsuit as a preemptive strike leaves Mr. Overeem vulnerable in ways our clients wished to avoid."
In July, Overeem was cut from his Strikeforce contract in the midst of his participation in the promotion's heavyweight grand prix. UFC president Dana White cited Golden Glory's insistence on routing fighter payments through their company as the reason the fighter was released from the Zuffa-owned company.
Golden Glory head Bas Boon later told MMAjunkie.com he had no issues paying fighters directly. He did, however, threaten legal possible legal action if Overeem did not fulfill the terms of the contract he negotiated.
Beetje vaag allemaal maar in iedergeval iets tot justinian ons van verdere info voorziet vanuit het GG kamp
