Kimbo Slice on "Star Power" Undercard?

**** it put him him on there & I bet you the rating rise

here go you dummy by Hillary LaClair, Senior Editor I am well aware of aftermath of that fight. one guy says he "could've" threw the fight with no proof and never mentions it again. on the contrary, kimbo's opponent said that they offered him more money to throw the fight. so who was paid to throw the fight?

here go you dummy by Hillary LaClair, Senior Editor and where is the evidence? all i hear is some one relaying wilborn's opinion, which many here will attest as complete b.s when it comes to fighting sports. think before you post some thing, try again fan boy.

I had a pretty big hunch that you are a troll. This confirms it. Thanks for such an enjoyable conversation. here go you dummy by Hillary LaClair, Senior Editor The recent MMA match between Kimbo Slice and Seth Petruzelli, in which a previously undefeated Kimbo was taken down in a mere 14 seconds, has stirred a great deal of controversy this week. Accusations are swarming that the fight was fixed, and evidence has arisen that would suggest the same. If it is found that EliteXC is guilty of foul play, it could change mixed martial arts as the sports betting community knows it. In perhaps the boldest criticism of EliteXC to date, Michael Wilbon told listeners on ESPN’s ‘Pardon the Interruption’ that he was convinced that last Saturday’s fight was fixed. “That was a more phantom punch than Ali had to knock out Liston in that fight in 1965,” said Wilbon, referring to the jab that brought Kimbo to the canvas. “Kimbo Slice, your boy, is a fraud.” To which Wilbon’s on-air partner Dan Le Batard replied, “Are you saying it was fixed?” Wilbon answered, quite frankly, “Yes.” Insisting that MMA is a legitimate sport, popular among young men, Le Batard added, “That was not fixed, Mike.” Wilbon would not be convinced otherwise, however, continuing, “It was fixed. Wrestling was fixed, I loved it all my life. It was fixed.” The argument continued for some time between the two, and as Le Batard vehemently tried to defend to legitimacy of EliteXC and mixed martial arts, Wilbon told him, “Danny, you don’t want to defend this because your credibility will be at stake. He’s a fraud, it’s a fraud, get off the stage.” During the next commercial break, when Wilbon was asked to elaborate, he commented, “I don’t know what Kimbo’s ties are. Kimbo still could have taken a dive while others are trying to prop him up. He could have gotten paid.” Of course, nothing was said that the online sports betting community wasn’t thinking from the moment Shamrock was taken out of the equation. These harsh accusations are backed by evidence that arouse earlier in the week, however, where Petruzelli admitted that he was paid by promoters to stand up and trade punches with Slice rather than take a more logical course of action; knowing that Petruzelli would not hold up in a solid boxing match, his logical plan should have been to take him to the ground. “My original plan was to throw out push kicks, they’re called teeps, have him think that I’m going to throw them to try to rush in more, and then shoot in on him, obviously… but the promoters kinda hinted to me, and they gave me the money to stand and trade with him. They didn’t want me to take him down, let’s just put it that way. It was worth my while to try to stand up and punch with him.” Petruzelli later claimed that his comments were taken out of context. However, if these allegations are true, online sportsbooks may see MMA ripped right from their roster. Rumors are circulating that the Florida State Athletic Commission may investigate the fight. If anything were found, it could mean the end of EliteXC.

you do realize that Kimbo threw that fight.....from what ive heard. I heard he threw alot of money on him losing and lost and almost went to jail for it, read the news I had a pretty big hunch that you are a troll. This confirms it. Thanks for such an enjoyable conversation.

50 year old Mercer didnt have a lot left in him to take. Kimbo is a joke i dont want to se him on a ppv undercard. 50 year old Mercer also KTFO 2x former UFC HW Champion, Tim Sylvia, in 9 seconds.

I think lots of boxing fans are mad Kimbo DESTROYED Sugar Ray Mercer in the stand-up and then choked him out. Kimbo took everything Mercer had in him and executed the gameplan, outstruck and out choked Mercer 50 year old Mercer didnt have a lot left in him to take.

man that may be why you watched him,you can't speak for everyone,dude has a huge following beleive it or not not sure if you are talking 'bout kimbo or mayweather. i like mayweather. i'm not a fan of his antics. but when i watch him, it's mainly to see if anyone can "solve the puzzle". i've been following MMA since the early 2000s and among most fans, there is a general dislike of the guy as they saw him as a step "backward" towards being recognized as a legitimate sport. the casual fans who watched him tuned in simply because of his notoriety. soon as he started losing they lost interest.

that would be the ultimate sellout move

is that why he was a draw in EliteXC, StrikeForce, Ultimate Fighter... The MMgAy fans on the internet forums dont account for all the casual fans who rack up the PPV buys They watched him to see him get knocked out. Same reason why people buy Mayweather PPVs. Not because they like him but because they want to see him lose.

Do you want it on the undercard? If Kimbo goes on this undercard this could draw some mmGaY fans and show them what real fighting is about. Kimbo would be a nice addition, Im sure Gary Shaw and Floyd/Oscar can work something out :boxing: http://a.espncdn.com/photo/2009/0514/mma_kimbo_slice1_576.jpg you do realize that MMA fans hate Kimbo and are happy that he left MMA to pursue boxing instead right?

throw him in there with gabe brown let's get it on.
