Maybe that was the deal …… they get everyone to bet on Kimbo , switch the fighter at the last second …everyone thinks buddy still is going down cause noone knows him ….so the shaws place a rather discrete bet thru someone else on the underdog and make a fortune for themselves ….. the old boxing trick bait and switch technique…. then they dont have to run an mma company thats failing .. take the money and run woo hoo hoo

Dexter is a great show. I watch it every week.
I totally agree with what KOuch and DBiz had to say.
And yes Dannyboy there was betting up to fight time. Kimbo was a huge favorite going in.

I thought since it was a late comer to the fight that no betting would be honored on the fight? Did they re=open the sports desks in Vegas to account for the late entry?

Sorry coming in on this late.

Timcat you are right…I hope Showtime can put something together. Otherwise, I pay for it just for Dexter and Weeds.

The case was closed because there was an agreement that if the Shaw’s closed down shop the case would go away. I still think the Shaw;s should be in trouble. Like Dana White said, Gary cockmonger Shaw told the LA TIMES, “there is nothing wrong with paying fighters to stand” aside from the fact it is illegal. Bets were being taken and regardless of the outcome the SHAWS were tampering with matches. THAT IS BS! It’s over now but there should be legal trouble. NOTHING WAS FOUND MY ASS! BS! There is that famous quote in the LA f-n TIMES! Seth Petruzelli spewed some interesting comments followed by supporting arguments from ken Shamrock. WTF?!? Send the Shaws to jail.

EliteXC shutting down is definitely why this ended. In fact, that investigation likely prompted the shutdown before the ShoXC event that was coming up. When you’re already down 60 million, a couple weeks for some big bouts to maybe get some sponsor money in is nothing.

Lawler-Villesenor and Diaz-Alvarez had the potential to do them a lot of good, both financially and in how people viewed their fights. The investigation made them realize that, no matter what it concluded, they were not going to fare well in front of any other state’s commission.

The only wrong doing in my opinion is trying to convince us that “no slice” was a lgeit martial artist. It just shows that it doesn’t pay to be a douche bag.

If they will not flog that dead horse at least kill the Shaws………
