biggest cancer to mma ever
It seems like kimbo has no direction and is pretty much done, so it’s no big loss to mma. Just him getting close to our sport makes me sick especially with what he’s done in the past with his corrupt practices. But at the same time, kimbo and if he decides to pick some other fighters, will likely make more money even after this guy takes his enormous cut.
after he fails at boxing he will try his hand at ADCC

wow.
biggest cancer to mma ever
I get that you dislike him, but thats weak.
Kimbo brought huge ratings wherever he went. Brought a ton of eyes to the HW season of TUF, and was entertaining as hell.
How exactly was he a cancer? How did he hurt our sport?

He is not a cancer. However, he is a fraud and was revealed as such. Kimbo brought huge ratings because the average MMA fan is a moron. He got his 15 minutes. Now pack up your stuff and GTFO.

Besides...
How many of those “casual fans” became UFC Fans and stayed there even after he was booted from the UFC?
All of them, I’ll bet.
calm down ojr
kimbo has done absolutely zero harm to your precious mma world. if anything he attracted a new demographic to it, and dont be snobbish and say they dont deserve or belong in you mma world. sports always has been and always will be entertainment, and he brought a little of that, albeit briefly.
I disagree, Egads. MMA is sport first, entertainment second. If you want to lower your standards - feel free. I refuse to lower mine. Thanks for your POV. Much appreciated.

If you mean Gary Shaw, I'd agree
Kimbo was way out of his league for sure, but we’ve seen lots of these guys come and go. Gary Shaw on the other hand, brought what could have been a decent addition to the MMA world to it’s knees.
"Remember men, we are all winners in the eyes of Christ...except for the guy still bleeding on the canvass"
I think with the reach of the boxing promoters and Kimbo's fame...
Slice can prolly make 5-10 million on one boxing fight…., even after everyone else takes their cut.
Dana is not going to like it…
Bullets dodge Fedor.
Thats a lot of dough
I dont know if Kimbo can sell a boxing PPV like Mayweather or any other big boxer
Confucius says:
"Baseball is wrong; man with four balls cannot walk."
Fairweather fans will buy a Slice boxing PPV. I guarantee you that real boxing fans will not part with their money unless Slice is part of an undercard and its a big headliner. Anyway, you need mad cardio to be a boxer and Kimbo does not have that.

Agreed, but real boxing fans is definitely not who they are going for.
They will find someone who Kimbo will beat in spectacular fashion (even if someone has to take a dive)
Bullets dodge Fedor.
Agreed. Never underestimate the power of stupidity.

haha so true
lot of idiots with money to spend. Kimbo could do well(money wise) in his first couple boxing fights, if he is matched against guys who are out of their prime.
Like James Toney? LOL!
I hope Kimbo gets his 5-10 mil and then calls it a career ’cause quite frankly, he can live it up for the rest of his days afterward.
Poor Kimbo has no chin or cardio
I heard he was going to fight titties Schoonover sometime soon.

Guys, relax.
Kimbo’s gonna be the world champ. I heard he trains boxing w/ Toney at Danago’s gym/gay bath house.
Hadoken!!

kimbo can't sell a boxing ppv. if he did, not to many people would buy it. he would have to fight a boxer with name recognition.
and that shit wouldn’t end well for old glassbeard.
fuck it, let him fight one of the klitchkos and die!

Enough people that they make a few million each fight. The hw boxing division might be a joke in the U.S.A.
But that’s because there isn’t an amercan champ. I bet boxing is huge in Germany right now.

One last effort for 2 men who failed miserably.
Shaw see’s $$$. And it’s a shame the ONLY resource he has is 07"s most popular fighter. This will be the nail in BOTH of their coffins.
