Another Gold Medal
With the right promoter and a steady diet of tomato cans that he could knock out in spectacular fashion, I think Kimbo could have been a marketing goldmine and parlayed a trumped up record and a lot of hype into one of the stray heavyweight tiles and a big money fight with Wlad Klitschko.

The model is working out perfectly fine for Deontay Wilder.:sas2:

Except Wilder has been boxing since he was a teen and has won golden gloves and made it to the olympics. The bums Wilder has fought would ko kimbo.

Didn't kimbo get famous by just being some ninja who lives outside and fights? He definitely made the right move going to MMA

I was 3 rows away when he got knocked out. Gary Shaw's son was going ape s-hit coked out of his mind.

nah, it was the best decision!

he got more money than he would have ever gotten boxing. his brand was already built in mma.

when he did that tv show the ultimate fighter, many people say he got paid something to do. the ratings for that season was the best that ever for that show. everyone knew what he brought to the show.
