Gary Shaw takes care of his fighters good.

Showtime technically isn't PPV.

pretty unbelievable anyone would pay those guys that much considering the talent of guys in the UFC who are gettin 1/4 of that much

[SS]

Kimbo's a 6 figure guy.

Yeah, but Kimbo puts asses in the seats I guess.

[Fury]

That's wrong on so many levels. But hey, more power to him for being able to turn beating up fat black dudes in the ghetto into 6 figure fights.

Kind of sad that there are guys in the UFC that would embarrass him making 1/3 of what he does.

Put him in with Vera at least...good night!

[Petrucci]

besides having a certain charisma and all the 'aura' behind him, one of the things i think help kimbo (IMHO) is the fact he is a heavyweight....

i have to say that i only care about the heavy and light heavy divisions...i think its a lot more interesting

i dont like to see 140lbs guys who has a body smaller than a lot of girls and midgets fighting...dont care how technical they are...


 

[Mark Kerr]

I wonder what Bas Rutten cut of that was?

He has to be charging Kimbo a percentage of his fight money.
