So wait a minute. Seth did keep it standing. Did he get the bonus?

If he did get bribed to take a dive, then knocks the guy out, that’s awesome. However, it sounds like what happened to Daredevil’s dad in the movie. But in the movie, they killed Daredevil’s dad. I wonder what the Shaw family will do to Seth.

It’s all good. Obviously the outcome was the way nature intended. Kimbo needs to fight Bert Rogers. If he loses that one, it’s back to Youtube and bodyguarding Porno actresses for Kimbo.

The rest of the card was great. I’m looking foward to Hector Lombard at the next Elite XC event in November.

Hey ucares….EliteXC wants to make moeny, it isn’t for the fans. Dream wants to make money, it isn’t for the fans. Affliction wants to make money, it isn’t for the fans. Notice a trend here? All organizations are in it for money. not for fans.

Troll.

Thats the idea guys ………… free fights to watch . I can understand if we had to pay for such events , but ITS FREE !!!! ITS FREE , ITS FREE !!!

Why **** about not having to watch rerun fights of WEC when we see new ones for free .Fights dont have to be epic clashes of the absolute best to be enjoyed . And since you guys know every detail , you watched them also .Which proves that people watched , and it was successful .

I also agree it wasnt cool to offer standing money , but look at the UFC and how they push certain guys aside so has-been fighters can star in ppv events while legit contenders go without . Florian had a shot when he beat huerta yet wheres that fight with Penn ? Werdum has earned a shot so why does he not fight Nog instead of the TUF deal?.because the UFC wants to make $$$ it isnyt for the fans ……..

The thing is I’ll probably still watch their next event. I think about Elite XC like I think about an average looking woman, I’ll take it if it’s free but I’m not paying for it.

These people(ELIITE) are full of shat. Their boxing promotion background leaves me feeling that I cannot expect legitimacy in any of their match ups. Besides, why would Elite keep trying to shoot the rumor down if it isn’t true? It’s no big deal right? Just a rumor, who cares, let time blow it over……Well, Elite seems to be making it painfully obvious that Seth and Ken were offered/told to stand so that they would play into Kimbo’s one and only strength. Jared POS Shaw’s reaction in the background screamed, “No Kimbo! NO! I love you! NO! My money!!! No! Even less money! You are all we got! NO!! NO!! NO!!” Elite is full of ****.

I have no doubt that Seth Petruzelli was telling the truth in his first interview…. no doubt whatsoever.

Elite XC is somewhere in between Pro Wrestling and the sport of MMA.

Exactly Tmoney. It is common to award such bonuses AFTER the event, not to make the offer beforehand. And there is usually an equal submission bonus.

This is a snowjob. They got caught, threatened Seth, and are now spinning it as much as they can. Bunch of crooked frauds.

What about a submission bonus? Yeah they were trying to protect Kimbo.

“Seth Petruzelli was offered a fee to fight Kimbo Slice, plus a knockout bonus, a common practice throughout the industry.”

This basically amounts to a confession to me. I’ve heard of KO of the night, submission of the night, and fight of the night bonuses but not just straight up KO bonuses. Did any other fighters receive a KO bonus? If so this might be acceptable. If not they were trying to protect Kimbo.

Maybe the bribe didn’t come from Lappen, but I’m sure one came from Jared Shaw. He is a slimy little troll who I wouldn’t put anything past. Elite XC is going to be out of business in less than a year. Another thing, they probably refused Frank because they knew Frank would not stand and trade with the fraud and submit him quicker than Seth ko’ed him.
