good for Kimbo, crazy considering where he was just a few years ago. Cant blame his management for letting kimbo fight, that extra $ defenately was worth it.

Oh man did you see the interview near the bottom Seth claims he was paid extra to not take Kimbo down thats gotta be classed as attempted match fixing IMO surely Shaw should get screwed for this.

Took a lot of money to get Kimbo to take that fight. I thought Kimbo was the guy that will fight anyone, anywhere, at anytime!

Monsters : Even though you only had an hour to get ready for this fight against kimbo, what was your strategy fighting against Kimbo, uh, err, uh, were you tryin to uh, submission him out?
Seth Petruzelli: My original plan was to throw a lot of push kicks, called teeps, and try to rush in more, and then shoot in on him, obviously.
M: So you wanted to get him on the ground? There’s no way you wanted to box him standing up?
SP: Not really, but I train with lots of undefeated pro boxers, a couple guys have a belt, and my style kinda throws them off a bit, I have kind of an awkward style. So, I knew I would do alright standing up with him. 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. LETS JUST PUT IT THAT WAY.

Wow. Nice chunk of change. I am interested to see how much he makes on his next fight. I wonder how EliteXC feels about signing a check that big over to the losing fighter? I'm sure they are not happy about it, because he was their star, but he was the one bringing in the fans.

That can't be good. This might cause some problems for EliteXC. I'll agree with a

No wonder EliteXC is bleeding money. Although, what could they have done after Shamrock cut, err...hurt himself? I can't think of too many viable alternatives for them when it was the nationally televised main event .

Yeah, unfortunately he's thinking this can happen around the end of the year. It's already been stated that Tito will be out for about 6 months after back surgery.

I wonder... If Kimbo could trade the embarassment for the money, would he?
