Finishing bonuses now available to all Legacy FC main card fighters courtesy of Legacy FC and sponsor RES Nation
HOUSTON, TX, September 6, 2013 – Texas-based Legacy Fighting Championship is offering a new incentive to their main card fighters.
In a move announced on this week’s edition of AXS TV’s Inside MMA, the Legacy FC organization will now be offering an added incentive to fighters competing on their pro cards in the form of finishes bonus – available to fighters competing on every televised Legacy Fighting Championship card aired on the AXS TV network moving forward.
Legacy FC is partnering with lifestyle brand Ready Every Second (RES) Nation along with longtime broadcast partner AXS TV on this initiative. For Legacy FC promoter Mick Maynard, offering finishing bonuses is just one other thing the promotion can do to show appreciation for exciting fights and MMA fighters.
All in all the Legacy President had this to say in addition:
“We are extremely excited to be partnering with RES Nation. Jeff (Nowling) and Mike (White) are great people with incredible vision and love for MMA. This partnership between AXS TV, Legacy and RES Nation will allow us to not only help build their brand, but also provide the fighters an opportunity to receive finish bonuses. We see it as an all-around win for everyone involved.”
In an additional conversation with TXMMA.com earlier, one thing to note is that this incentive is available to all fighters on the main card who finish their opponent, as opposed to discretionary bonuses like Fight of the Night or KO/Sub of the Night as seen in other organization like the UFC.
According to Maynard the bonuses are slated to start off at $1,000 per finish awarded to main card fighters but could increase in the future as he’s leaving that amount open for consideration.
