About the payoff, Petruzelli won that fight anyways so I don't think it's relevant whether he was paid an incentive. If he's more skilled then he'd beat Kimbo no matter what.

I just worry about Kimbo himself. I see the potential for a modern day version of the movie "The Harder They Fall". Primo Carnera's career was fraught with fixes and frauds. I just don't want to see the guy played for a sucker and end up broke or hurt because he trusted the wrong people.

Any promoter that would pay a fighter to carry an opponent is exactly the kind of scum that fits that mold.

I respect Kimbo's willingness to learn, don't get me wrong there. I also realize that a season on the ultimate fighter is better for a career than bouncing nightclubs and playing "bodyguard" for a bunch of porn guys.
