The scheduled combat between Davi ~~Brito, winner of Big Brother Brasil 24, initially drew attention for his upcoming wedding to Emilly Araújo~~ Brito and ~~a negotiated deal to participate in a fight~~ Rico Melquiades at the ‘Rancho do Maia’ event ~~in Maceió. However, the scheduled combat between Brito and Rico Melquiades~~ was canceled after Brito withdrew minutes before entering the ring. While Brito’s trainer cited a shoulder injury sustained during warm-ups, the withdrawal led to significant controversy. Rico Melquiades accused Brito of sending intimidating messages and allegedly offering R$ 100,000 to lose the fight. Melquiades further claimed that Brito initially offered R$ 100,000 and later lowered the request to R$ 80,000 to ensure a first-round victory for Melquiades. Tensions had previously escalated during a weigh-in ceremony, which reportedly resulted in physical altercations and punches being thrown. Event organizer Carlinhos Maia expressed skepticism regarding the injury, suggesting Brito would not have fought fairly. Brito responded by criticizing Maia, accusing him of using his platform to humiliate others. Following the cancellation, Carlinhos Maia released screenshots alleging that Brito attempted to negotiate a fixed outcome for a much higher sum. According to the leaked messages, Brito proposed receiving R$ 300,000 to lose the match via technical knockout in the second round, suggesting an installment plan of R$ 200,000 immediately and R$ 100,000 the following month. He reportedly later suggested a reduced amount of R$ 100,000. In response to the escalating situation, singer Nego do Borel released a video criticizing Brito’s behavior, citing a lack of humility and warning him about the dangers of fame.
