Bare Knuckle FC president David Feldman wasn’t impressed with Rusty Crowder ’s efforts – some would say lack thereof – in a unanimous-decision loss to Reggie Barnett last month at BKFC 5. So the promoter took to the the mic in the ring after the fight and let the crowd know that half of Crowder’s purse was going to Barnett due to Crowder’s inactivity. That promo didn’t exactly go over well, either in the audience or on social media. Never mind whether such a move would be contractually legal; most fight fans understand that even the best fighters have bad nights, and a promoter taking away half of their agreed-upon pay after training for the bout in good faith isn’t a good look. The incident took some of the luster off an exciting card that was headlined by Artem Lobov’s thrilling win over Jason Knight in the main event.
