Strikeforce, M1 renegotiating contract.

We might not see Fedor fight April or May.

"Fedor Emelianenko, the world’s No. 1-ranked heavyweight, will not appear on the April card. Emelianenko’s proposed bout with Fabricio Werdum has been pushed to May. However, multiple sources are indicating that the stoic Russian could be absent from both events as his management attempts to re-tool terms of Emelianenko’s existing contract with Strikeforce."

 Just to point something out, Fedor is NOT contractually obligated to fight on CBS.

I've seen people repeat that information and it's not correct.

 So you are saying he could fight on Showtime?



That would suck for me.

I don't think Fedor wants to fight on showtime.

M-1 is reaching...

 Renegotiating already?

 

This is what Jordan Breed had to say on the subject.

"M-1 and Strikeforce have been tight-lipped about what is really at stake with the reworking of Fedor's contract, so far anyway. However, it can generally be linked to an overall shake-up at M-1. New investors and new power brokers working with Vadim Finkelchtein are trying to put their stamp and spin on the product. There's a lot of rumors over various firings in their office, too. There is flux, to be sure."

 So CindyO was dead-on with what she said on TSGIGOR's thread.

 ".........and that was?"



That the reason Fedor was not on the April show was because M-1 was "putting the squeeze on Coker" and trying to renegotiate their deal, with Fedor's presence on the show as their bargaining chip.

he's fighting in May.

Barry_BondsMVP - he's fighting in May.


Possibly...

I'll take Igor's word over the internet media, he speaks directly with the camp.
