This man made a mockery of MMA, made some good money, then bounced. Now he's looking to bring his circus act to boxing and do the same thing. He hasn't earned a good payday from boxing. Not one iota. This clown is just looking for his next meal ticket, nothing more. If you pay to watch any of his boxing matches, you are just enabling something that shouldn't be enabled. Please don't pay to watch this clown fight; he has not earned your money.
I'm in it for the money no legacy - seem familair.
Most boxers r in it for the payday, it is declining as a old school noble sport unfortunatly and he has good hands. Let the man get KTFO if he wants.
I just want to see him with no beard.
Kimbo didn't make a mockery of anything. He went into MMA and hooked up with the right people and tried to learn. He entertained when they put him in with guys who would bang with him like Tank Abbott. Its not like he talked trash like Toney did. He did the ultimate fighter show and earned UFC great ratings even though he knew he could get paid prime money to fight other places. Why? because he understood he was entry level. Everyone in the company including Dana White ( after he talked crap about him) said the guy was a class act the whole time and remained humble through the whole process.He he got beat they parted ways. No shame in losing.
Riiiiiiiiiiight, I'm jealous of the life of a convicted felon. If you support his endeavor to make a lot of money in the sport you proclaim you love without him having earned it, you are part of the problem with boxing fans who will buy and watch anything. I feel sorry for you.
I enjoy violence in any form boxing just happens to be my favorite. Im not going to pledge any type of silly allegiance to a sport I see no money from. As a matter of fact I spend a lot of money on this sport, so they get all the support they need from me. Ive got the money to order these type of fights, so again why is it a problem? You just sound like a hater plain and simple. Go bust heads in the street and maybe you'll get a shot. He doesnt have a monopoly on street fighting the opportunity is available to anyone.
It disrespectful to boxing? Naw it sounds more like jealousy and hate from you. Sideshow attractions have happened since the sport was created. Ali fought an exhibition against Antonio Inoki, Joe Louis became a pro wrestler, Mike Tyson performed with WWF same with Floyd. Manny Pacquiao is professional singer, Butterbean who looks much less like a boxer than Kimbo made more moeny than a lot of better fighters because of entertainment value.Get out of here it brings more attention to the sport and the world wont end I promise.

Are you really that ****ing dense? It amazes me how stupid people are sometimes. It's ****ing disrespectul to the sport of boxing if this guy is able to come into the sport and earn good money right away. How are you NOT understanding that????????????????????????????????????????????????

Sorry, but if Butterbean can box, so can Kimbo Slice.
Butterbean didn't wait until he was 36 to get in the game. I'll be shocked if Kimbo has even a fraction of the success Eric Esch has had.

Kimbo will make pretty decent money in boxing because he already has a fan base. I bet you if Nicolas Cage or Johnny Depp became boxers, they would be making about seven figures in their debut fight and I doubt they can box worth sh!t.
Has nothing to do with respect or paying your dues. Kimbo isn't some bum off the streets despite what a lot of people think. How many bums have fans willing to pay to see them fight? Kimbo made huge money for White and the UFC. His fight against Nelson was one of the highest watched fights in history.
I am a Kimbo fan and the guy just wants to make money for his family. It's not like he's getting a shot against the Klitschkos anytime soon. Now that would be disrespectful to boxing. I wish Kimbo the best in boxing, hopefully it will be better than his MMA run.

Why???
Because you can't do it? Guess what get the fukk over it bro. There is always Fight Night Round 4.
How is it disrespectful for a guy who will come in the boxing trying to take peoples heads off in that weak ass division bad for boxing?
If he built his image up to the point where people will pay to see him fight how has he not earned it?
