M-1 Trying To Play Strikeforce For More Money With Fedor's Contract?

PrintThat seems to be the case and our SBN brethren at Headkick Legend speak on it as they've spoke with some folk from M-1 Global:
According to M-1 Global, Strikeforce has not honored the contract that they signed with M-1 and the only way Fedor will fight in a Strikeforce cage again is if they sign a new contract. M-1 is looking for a partner and to have Strikeforce cards featuring Fedor to be fully co-promoted cards.
M-1 Global is looking at other potential partners right now if Strikeforce doesn't shape up. Generally speaking, that does not mean there is a healthy relationship with Strikeforce and that the chances of seeing Fedor fighting outside of Strikeforce have gone out. Now, is this just them trying to scare Strikeforce into conceding to their demands or are they seriously shopping Fedor and M-1 Global around is the question.
So was Dana White right about M-1?

M-1 is laughable
If I was Coker, I’d be like “OK, dont fight. See you in court.”
With all the BS they pull and if the above from HL is true, I really dont care to see Fedor fight in the UFC at all now. If Fedor is a co-owner of the M-1 “brand” then he is as much to blame for all this stupid shit they pull than anyone else. Anyway, it’s not like he has been fighting the best as it is.

The clock is ticking on Emelianenko’s remaining fighting years. It would be a shame if b.s. like this took up most of his remaining time.
Oh well . . .
Many fighters go through a period where they have to get their business straight. Good luck.

People said. Guess what folks: this is why you don’t co-promote. This is also why you don’t co-promote with a company that doesn’t promote anything. Strikeforce is a lot of things, but I’d be shocked if they weren’t living up to their end of whatever deal they struck with M-1.

I wonder what Fedor apologist Josh Gross will say now? That is if he says something.
