So he said why take the pain, medical bills, and time 4 only $100,000 more. Plus they werent letting Kimbo fight 2 many people becuz he was undefeated now that he got beat they will let him fight more people and make more money He threw that fight, cuz he got paid $500,000 if he lossed & would’ve only made 600,000 if he won.

Street cred does not an MMA fighter make. Kimbo should still be fighting in “Whistledick Chavez’s cage of doom” promotion in some Podunk town in no where USA.

PS I'm not a giant fan of Chris Cyborg or anything but she is gonna wreck Gina. Gina is incredible but Cyborg is another level.

NO egad, you are not alone. There were a couple ladies watching the show Sat. and they both yelled at the same time "THAT'S A MAN" as soon as 'her' mug flashed on the screen. But if you think Chris is ugly now, wait till Gina is done with 'her'... “So am I alone in thinking Cyborg needs a DNA test?”

Elite XC in one of it's ealier SEC reports stated it may not have the funds to last . They needed to pull of at least a 2.5 rating on CBS for its May 31 show. The numbers for the 3rd event was close to the May 31 show. July 26 was not consider a success. With these number CBS should air a 4th event, but risk losing a number of viewers with Kimbo's loss, Elite XC needs to ensure they win the numbers rating regardless... or all is probably lost with CBS. May 31 “Saturday Night Fights”: 1.9/6 with 4 million viewers July 26 “Unfinished Business”: 1.0/3 with 2.62 million viewers October 4 “Heat”: 1.8/6 with 4.38 million viewers CBS has a 4 fight deal with Elite XC, so only 1 more to go, if they are going to sink like many are speculating because Kimbo lost, then they'd better make this an explosive card... don't pull any punches and go down fighting and figure it out event to event, don't risk losing it all by pulling any punches because they're scared to shoot their wad on this one card. I luv'd that they partnered with Affliction, I wouldn't be surprised if they partner up with Golden Boy's Pay Per View Cards as well.

Fedor VS Arlovski Kimbo VS Ken Shamrock Tito Ortiz VS Frank Shamrock Carano VS Cyborg Shields VS Lawler - Champion VS Champion Renato Sobral VS Seth Petruzilli" First off Babalu vs Seth Petruzelli???????? Are you serious? Second do you really think CBS would pay for that card? Because EliteXC and Affliction sure couldn't. Just having Fedor and Tito on the same card would require a Congressional bailout to pay for. The money in MMA is in PPV, heck CBS probably isn't paying them enough to make money on the shows as they stand now. Of course that card would be hard to make money off of even if it did good ppv numbers even. I'd expect the next CBS card to be Kimbo vs Shamrock again and maybe Petruzelli and Aaron Rosa to opening the show instead of being on the undercard. “Imagine this next CBS ELITE XC AND AFFLICTION CARD.

Kimbo's not done, they can build him as fighter on the road back to redemption.... schedule his next fight with Ken Shamrock, casual kimbo fans will still watch him fight since they've gotten a taste of this crazy MMA rollercoaster sport. Fans continued to watch Mike Tyson after his loss to buster douglas. Each time Kimbo loses though, the 'hype' pill will be harder to swallow. Elite XC is not done because Kimbo loss, it's partnership with Affliction brings new and exciting talent to CBS. Now Elite XC can feel somewhat free to push and promote some of it's bigger talent.
