Gary Shaw: Absolutely. If Mike wants to fight in a cage, I'll put him in a cage and we'll do a Tyson fight...if Mike really wants to fight. I've represented Mike before; he knows how to find me. Fightline.com: What about a straight boxing match between the two? Gary Shaw: Straight boxing match? Yes. Fightline.com: Really? Gary Shaw: Yes. I'm a big time promoter. I would back Kimbo against anybody in the world, including the Klitschko's. He would knock any of those guys out. Fightline.com: Wow. Any of those fights would be very interesting and likely draw very well. Gary Shaw: Yep. Absolutely http://www.fightline.com/news/2008/531/gary_shaw_325154_2.shtml
It becomes more and more obvious that Gary Shaw has no respect for MMA - only the dollars that come with it.
Gary Shaw is a disgrace to all promoters who represent combat sports. His disgusting. That man would sell a chimp vs a midget if he knew he`d make a boat load of cash from it.
Tyson-Kimbo would be a decent fight, but I really don't want to see Mike have to go through anything else at this stage in his (non)career.
Why do we have people like this ? Let us put Kimbo and Arlovski in a boxing match. I am sure arlovski would school him. He is absurd
It's statements like these that make me not like Kimbo. Butterbean would smash Kimbo in an actual boxing match, and Gary Shaw is talking about a Klit brother? Hell no. I know Thompson has about a 2 percent chance of winning tonight, but WAR JAMES THOMPSON!
