5oz of pain interviews Monte Cox

Date Added: February 13, 2008 11:23:11 PM

Sam Caplan of Five Ounces of Pain interviewed Monte Cox about the controversy surrounding his fighters Jay Heiron, Ben Rothwell and Mike Whitehead and their appearance in the upcoming IFL World Grand Prix.

Here are a few excerpts of the conversation:

Sam Caplan: I just wanted to see if you feel that everything that has been reported thus far in regard to Ben Rothwell and Mike Whitehead being pulled from the IFL’s World Grand Prix on Nov. 3 is accurate?

Monte Cox: No, it’s not true. It’s 50% true. The situation is that they wanted to re-sign all three of my guys; Jay Hieron, Mike Whitehead, and Ben Rothwell. They all signed one-year deals and we made one-year deals for a reason — so that we can get to the end of the year and then check the market and see what they’re worth.

Well, then they came up with this Grand Prix that wasn’t in our contact (and) that had never been discussed with me. Then all of a sudden they announce that all of these guys are in the Grand Prix when we never said we’d be to fight.”

and continues with:

“Then the next day Keith Evans calls Hieron and tells him they need to meet. So they go meet and drive off and Hieron calls me and says, “You’re not going to believe this. I just went for a ride with the IFL and they tried to get me to sign a contract in the back of their car. They said that ‘Monte wasn’t doing a good job and he’s not handling things properly and you need to sign this thing and you need to do it now.”

 If this is true the IFL would appear to have a little bit of trouble on their hands being the league that “is all about the fighters”.
