Found February 26, 2010 on The 3rd String Safety:
No one was surprised when we found out that Paulo Filho backed out of his fight at Bitetti Combat last night. However, most assumed that Filho was still suffering from emotional problems that have haunted him for years, but according to Filho, the problem was with money, not his mind. From Tatame: “What happened was this, we never came to a financial agreement. Their offer fell far short of what I’m accustomed to and that undermines the career of a fighter,” said the fighter, who revealed that problems with payment from the previous two editions of Bitetti Combat also influenced his decision. Yea….okay. Filho remains remarkably unreliable. I would be horrified to book him on anything right now. If they never agreed on money, why in god’s name would they put his name on the card and confirm his fight. Why wouldn’t he say something before a week away from the card? A whole lot of this doesn’t make sense.
