Företaget GRRRL har valt att avsluta sitt samarbete med MMA-fightern Cristiane ”Cyborg” Justino efter hennes bråk med Angela Magana under UFC Fighters Retreat i maj.
Justino slog Magana efter att hon konfronterat henne om hånfulla inlägg på sociala medier där ”Cyborg” bland annat liknades vid en skräckfilms-karaktär.
HETAST JUST NU
Tidigare under dagen hade ”Cyborg” talat på ett event anordnat av klädföretaget GRRRL som nu släpper henne från ett 1-årskontrakt.
Det här hade företaget att säga i ett offentligt uttalande:
“Unfortunately, within a matter of hours of appearing and speaking at our event, Cris was involved in “battery” of another fighter on the street outside a UFC retreat,” står det i uttalandet. “Cris’s conduct in this regard has broadly been condemned by the fight industry and the organization by whom she is contracted as a fighter.
“As a company with representation and brand ambassadors amongst girls as young as 6, we cannot publically [sic] condone this behaviour especially as the behaviour is directly in conflict with the messages Cris shared at the event, one of our speakers on cyber bullying and our company message to promote female harmony and unity.”
“This conduct has the potential to diminish the tireless work by our amazing network of women throughout the world to support female harmony and unity,” the statement read. “As a consequence of these matters, it is with regret that our sponsorship of Cris has come to an end.”
”Cyborg” säger att GRRRL är skyldig henne pengar
Efter att det stod klart att GRRRL valt att avsluta samarbetet så tog ”Cyborg” till sociala medier för att bland annat hävda att hon ännu inte fått betalt från företaget efter att hon talade på hennes seminarium.
Enligt brasilianskan har dem inte pengar att betala henne och använder Magana-incidenten som ursäkt för att komma undan:
My public appearance fee was 7500$ they don't have the money to pay this and are looking for excuses after the event wasn't profitable pic.twitter.com/SBnCvJgkW2
