Boycott Kimbo Slice in boxing

[KingTito]

**** it. If he wants to box, let him. I'm not gonna hate on the guy. Boxing would be better suited for him anyway.

[Gareth Ivanovic]

Yea, its obvious hes not a real boxer, but let him get paid. He wasnt born into a position to make this money he literally fought his way to this point. No need to hate the man.

Yeah when he went into MMA and was getting all that hype I thought that was pretty lame, but I look at it now as if people are gonna pay him to fight even if he sucks at it professionally why not. In this day and age when things aren't easy, gotta find someway to support his kids.

[Kevin Malone]

Spoken like a true novice to the sport. Butterbean paid his dues in the sport; Kimbo hasn't done ****.

I've seen numerous guys make their pro debut's on TV. Have they paid their dues? No one is talking about making Kimbo Slice an instant boxing attraction.

[Gojira]

I dont see what the threadstarters problem is. kimbo is just trying to make it in life. if gary shaw came upto you and offered the same contract no one here would turn it down.

[5burowz]

If he built his image up to the point where people will pay to see him fight how has he not earned it?

Are you really that ****ing dense? It amazes me how ****** 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?????????????????????????????????????????????? ??

[NChristo]

Didn't he apparently get knocked out by a jab ?, from a UFC fighter too.

He's not going anywhere far in boxing.

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Let the man provide for his kids. We whine that the heavies sukk yet we are going to boycott Kimbo?

Lets make up our minds.

Why???

Because you can't do it? Guess what get the **** 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?

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 ****.

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.

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.
