He basically said for his last title defence he earned $10,000 and that was a year ago so he had been feeding his large family on the money he made from that. He felt he had to do something so when K-1 came, he accepted. He vacated his belt and Linares has been declared new WBC champion at 130lbs.

Sad really. Surely there was a money fight out for him somewhere though!
