David Feldman pledges support to Michigan worker harassed by streamer

David Feldman, founder and president of Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC), has pledged a personal donation and an all-expenses-paid trip to Walter Zerod, a Michigan restaurant employee.

The support follows a GoFundMe campaign launched after a streamer allegedly approached Zerod at a Red Baron restaurant, pretending to take money using a phone and subsequently laughing when the worker expressed distress. Feldman stated that there is no place for bullying or humiliating individuals who are working to provide for their families.

In addition to the donation, Feldman has invited Zerod and his family to attend the BKFSea Caribbean cruise aboard the Norwegian Jewel from January 22 to 25, 2027. The cruise, which sails from Miami to Nassau, will feature live bare-knuckle fights and various fan activities. The specific amount of Feldman’s donation has not been disclosed, and it is not yet confirmed if the family has accepted the invitation.
