WBC kickboxing bout between Joe Schilling-Simon Marcus approved for “winner take all” terms

When it comes to a fight later this month in Las Vegas a unique stipulation will be in place after both competitors agreed to a “winner take all” stipulation seeing one man walk away with the other’s salary on top of his own.

According to a press release from Lion Fight Promotions, the full-rules Muay Thai fight between Joe Schilling (12-1) and Simon Marcus (22-0) on February 25 at Battle in the Desert 5 was approved for the terms this week by the Nevada State Athletic commission.

“Joe was talking a lot about what he’s going to do to me and this and that, so I said ‘Put your money where your mouth is’. Money has never been the most important thing to me. What’s important to me is that I show people – especially the media that have him ranked ahead of me – that I can dominate Joe,” explained Marcus of the situation.

“I’m going to kick his ass either way and, now it’ll just be more money in my pocket,” retorted Schilling, a training partner of UFC welterweight Nick Diaz. “I’m going to expose him and show everyone that he’s just a pop tart.

Even the NSAC weighed in on the matter with chief executive Keith Kizer saying, “The winner take-all purse concept has rarely been used in Nevada. This certainly should bring added interest and intrigue to this contest.”
