tariks show in november

[bob]

just curious about this A1 tournament in november.on tariks website it states zambidis is fighting.i think now that tariks out of k1"i think"his partnership with zambidis is over"hopefully im wrong"due to his contractual agreemant with k1 that all fighters that participate have,especially if it ended badly between tarik and k1,which usually happens when u end anything eg.relationships, partenarsips or else they dont end.also tarik is known to advertise fighters that dont actually fight on the night.dont get me wrong i would love to see this event eventuate.what do u guys think?

I haven't heard of Michael being signed to a K-1 Contract like Parr has.

So I can't see it being a problem.

But, as I've said...I've only not heard. This doesn't mean that it hasn't happened, just that it wasn't made public on either Ax or here.

Also, I've not heard anything about Solak and K-1 parting on bad terms. This would be a silly move for both parties in my oppinion.

K-1 would have as much to loose as would Tarik.
We have a huge talent pool of Max weight fighters in Aus.
Solak's not a silly guy, if he saw K-1 trying to take our best fighters out of his circuit, I reckon we'd see a contract war happening. The A1 circuit is supposed to pay pretty decently, so for the majority of local fighters, whom yet haven't the skill to win the world max outright, are probably just as better off in earnings when fighting on the bigger Vodaphone shows, and also having other show options like Superleague and Matsamura's events in Queensland.

am pretty sure zambides has a contract with k1. good point bob, i'm not sure how it all works out. i doubt it will completely tie him up, otherwise we wouldn't be seeing him fight in australia and europe like he has. in the past k1 fighters have participated on other shows, but they have tried to really sew fighters up these days.

[bob]

has zambidis fought in australia since tariks exit out of promoting k1 matt?

[Matt J]

guess we will see in november,but it would be insane to advertise him and not have him there!
